Paul Benfort Harrison asked:




For beginning guitar players who want to plug in and really develop their talents, an electric guitar lesson DVD is a great way to get started. For those who have only tried to play an acoustic guitar, you may be quite impressed with how much easier it is to play an electric guitar.

In addition to how much louder the guitar can be when it is run through the amp, the electric guitar can be made to sound so much better through the use of reverb and distortion. Searing guitar solos just won’t happen with an acoustic guitar.

Because the frets are lower on an electric guitar, the strings are closer to the neck and are much easier to play than on an acoustic. Electric guitars are designed for loud, fast playing, mainly because they don’t require the same finger control and precision as an acoustic. On top of that, acoustic guitars typically have strings that are of a higher gauge. This means that more strength is needed to hold down on the strings and this can be very physically demanding on new players who have less finger strength.

If you have some basic guitar knowledge but are new to the world of playing guitars, guitar lessons on DVDs can help you develop that speed of shredding the guitar. If you have no guitar experience whatsoever, a DVD course can really speed up the learning curve. You can progress at your own pace without having to wait for the next lesson with a private teacher. It can also teach you to use the guitar’s tone knobs and the amplifier’s components.

Most guitar teachers and music store owners will tell you that electric guitars are easier to start with, which keeps you motivated to keep playing. Players switching from acoustic guitars will probably agree and I have personally done it as well. Keep in mind that even “cheap” or used guitars can cost hundreds of dollars.

You don’t want to spend that kind of money on an instrument that is just going to sit in a case because it’s too hard to play. If you want to jump right in and start playing, start with the non-acoustic guitar. Get an appropriate guitar lesson DVD for your skill level, a cable and an amp, and set aside some time to study the instrument. Practice regularly and your efforts will pay off sooner than you can imagine.

Victoria’s Secret Revealed asked:


She has been ’secretly’ playing the electric guitar at her friends house and has taken a liking to it. She was afraid to tell me since we have put money into her piano lessons. Is it a good idea to take her out of piano or should we just let her continue? She wouldn’t mind piano AND guitar lessons but we think she should be focused on one thing right now.

If you have always dreamed of playing the electric guitar just like your favorite rock musicians, you can make that dream come true. Even if you are traveling, or don’t have the money to pay for private lessons, you can still learn how to plug that guitar into an amplifier and play the tunes you’ve always wanted to play. You don’t have to go to music school and you don’t have to take lessons in someone else’s living room. By buying and using an electric guitar lessons DVD, you can learn how to play in the privacy of your own home.

You might be someone who’s shy, for example, and the idea of playing in front of anyone, even and instructor, is too intimidating for you. You don’t have to worry about that with an electric guitar lessons DVD. All you need is a television, your instrument, and a DVD player and you’re all set. You can practice in the comfort and privacy of your own home or even your own room.

By using DVDs for instruction, you learn the guitar at your own home and this means saving the time to travel for guitar classes as well as expenses. Imagine how much gas you would be able to spend if you house was 40 kilometers away from your guitar class. A trip to-and-fro would have cause you several dollars in petrol and not to mention the time spent on the road too.

Some people just don’t learn as well when an instructor is setting the pace, designing the lessons and giving the student what to learn from week to week. When you use an electric guitar lessons DVD you can learn at your own pace. If you haven’t had time to practice in the previous week, you can take another week to do so and come back later to the DVD and pick up where you left off. If your world is busy, you don’t have to worry about throwing out money for lessons you’ve already paid for by skipping lessons. Once again, you just take the time off you need and return to the lessons when you are ready.

So, don’t abandon all your dreams of playing the electric guitar. You can still have the pleasure of playing. You just need to use an electric guitar lessons DVD and you can practice when you want and where you want.

Matt asked:


Anyone have suggestions for the best place to take electric guitar lessons in Toronto, Ontario?

I mainly play rock/metal (muse, radiohead, tool, the mars volta, ac/dc, chicago, cream, led zeppelin, etc. etc.).

I’ve been playing for a few years, and just looking to learn more advanced theory, and improve my technique.

Thanks.
