I have bought my first guitar, yippee!! So what do I do now?
That’s probably the question everybody has when they buy their first guitar and
set out with the hope to master this beautiful instrument. A couple of weeks
here and there, surfing the web and trying out stuff on their own, gets pretty
frustrating for some. So for the starters and the others who need much better
options, here are 10 that could make your day..
10. GUITARLESSONS.COM
They have a wide variety of guitar lessons for beginners,
intermediates and advanced players and for free. They don’t have a structured course but a
little search around would give you what you are looking for with a video
tutorial. They also have jam tracks to play along and offer couple of guitar
learning dvd’s too.
This is a good place to start because they offer free guitar
videos. They have many instructors teaching various styles and in various
playing levels. Many videos contain techniques and some artist based styles. Except
guitar they also teach few other instruments like mandolin, banjo, bass etc.
They also contain jam tracks and guitar dvd’s.
Another great site with many features and guitar techniques.
They have lessons in many guitar styles like rock, fusion, metal etc. They also
have a feature of user video upload for feedback from the number instructors
available from around the world. They also have video chat to help you improve
with on the spot feedback. 
They have various lessons for songs and techniques. I didn’t
personally explore the site but they do offer some great video lessons to help
improve your playing. There are many lessons that you either subscribe to or
purchase on per-video basis.
A site for blues guitar lessons. Numerous free videos to get
you started with blues and great content. The videos are recorded in an unusual
way but still manage to teach the required technique.
A place for jazz guitarists. Morten is a great jazz player
and teaches theory, technique and improvisations ranging from be-bop era to
modern players. Hundreds of videos, mp3s, jam tracks, pdf at affordable price.
There are numerous
lessons to make you better at playing jazz guitar but everything works on live
video. The instructor Matt Warnock teaches jazz guitar through Skype or Gmail
Video Chat. It will not be the most preferred way of learning for many but it does
work for some. So if you are interested in live jazz guitar lessons this might
be the place for you.
One of the most preferred website for online guitar
learning. They have a free registration that has very limited offering of the
course but the paid monthly subscriptions give full access to the great video
lessons, tutorials from many instructors and numerous techniques to help you
play better and all this in an affordable price.
Another preferred website for some serious guitar learning. They
have a huge collection of lessons from many instructors in various styles of
playing. You download all the video lessons at an affordable price. Their subscriptions
vary and according to them the discounts available on the lessons vary too. People
serious about learning the instrument and are ready to pay can check out thiswebsite. 
50k people like him, over 100 million people have watched
his YouTube instructional videos, 20k unique visitors visit his site each day,
what more can be said? A great instructor, great course structure with unique
tips and exercises and most of the lessons for free. This is a great place to
start your guitar career. He also offers dvd’s at 50$(4 dvd’s) which can also
be quite helpful but his free video lessons would more than just enough to get
you started.
Well those were the some of the websites that offer great online
lessons for people who don’t have the time to hire a personal instructor (recommended).
Some are free while some are paid subscriptions but still they are worth it. Choose
the site that suits you the best and complete all the courses covered there
before jumping to any other course or site.
Not to forget: The greatest online library would be, of course YouTube.
Anything and everything can be found here all you need to do is… search.
