Guitar lessons through online are fun because they give you a way to measure your progress. When you can see that you are making progress from week to week, you are naturally excited. This excitement is fuel to keep studying your lessons and practising your guitar playing, and success will come that much quicker.

Thanks for joining and good luck with your site though I would ask you limit your advertising within the forum as it can become too much.

Why not put your site in your signiture then each post something you make will be a kind of advert without you advertising?

Thanks

I find that learning from videos can be a bit problematic, What i tend to do is if i want to learn a song then il search for the tab online usually from Ultimate Guitar or 911 tabs. Once i have the tab in front of me i then play through it very slowly, but consistantly which is the important thing when learning. Over say the course of a week, playing for an hour or two a day id build the speed up to full pace and i can play whatever it is no problem with zero mistakes. When it comes to chords you just have to spend plenty time working out the shapes and practice the transition until it comes flawlessly. But remember that if you miss a note or muck something up, instead of replaying it, slow it down until you can play it smoothly and work it up. This method works great for me and i find myself being able to play almost anything and once you build up your general skill it will take much less time to learn a particular song. However, this method has one big flaw which is that you dont learn music properly but my personal solution to that is to learn the theory of music (i had it after years of playing clarinet) and it wasnt a huge amount of hassle for figuring out what notes were where. And chords, i am still figuring that one out. But honestly, i have learnt to play the guitar really quite easily without the need for DVD's and personally just from looking at videos on youtube i dont find them much use. Its all about practice. One last thing that helped me out allot was learning (pentatonic) scales, they helped me get a much better feel for the guitar and also opened doors to such things as improvisation. So what you produce during improvisation is not simply a load of jumbled up notes
Anyway hope that helped

Some good advice there.

Though you should break up your text to make it easier to read!
