Members JimboJ Posted January 19, 2010 Members Share Posted January 19, 2010 I was just wondering which guys on youtube give the best lessons. I did a search and found so many, I don't know where to start. I'm mainly looking for blues and classic rock lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members larry50 Posted January 19, 2010 Members Share Posted January 19, 2010 http://www.justinguitar.com/ Free, lots of free great lessons, blues, classic and new rock. And, Justin's great teacher too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edremy Posted January 19, 2010 Members Share Posted January 19, 2010 I'll second justinguitar- he's an awesome resource. (The forums there are better for noobies as well) Two others that have been useful: David Hodge's "Easy Songs for Guitar" series at http://www.guitarnoise.com/easy/ Depending on your level he has more advanced stuff as wellSpytunes has some very nice video work to show both hands at once. http://spytunes.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IbanezJon Posted September 16, 2010 Members Share Posted September 16, 2010 No offense man but I really think it's pretty simple to find this yourself. It is all depending on your individual needs. Which you know best. For example if you want to learn SRV style, there is a great guy on there for that style. Searching for that is easy. If you want general lessons, yeah that's harder to find I guess. A bit of trial and error but generally I don't think it's good using one site for anything. If you want to practice scales, search for scales. If you want to practice strumming search for strumming. Everyone's strength and weaknesses are in different areas. Learn from the best in each chosen field. Rather then learning it all from one place. Let your ears be the judge if the lesson is good or not. Nextlevelguitar for example, has a good overall blend of all aspects of guitar. However, learning SRV style from them would be bad. Where as learning SRV style from that other guy would be great. It takes time, but that's a part of the fun. It also helps your ear weed out what you like, what sounds good, what works and what doesn't etc etc. And then you can apply that ear stuff to your own playing. Two things with good guitar players.. it's all in the hands, and the devil is in the details. So lookout for those things when you are judging if you want to learn from this player or not. I guy who specialises in funk will have a specific attack with his hands, that can't be matched by someone who only plays occasional funk. That's the guy you want to be learning funk from.

Members IbanezJon Posted September 16, 2010 Members Share Posted September 16, 2010 i believe he was asking for an answer without someone being an asshole. Eh, maybe someone could spoon feed him the guitar skillz through the internet, and he wouldn't even need to learn. He could go straight to being a pro already. Heck, when even play? Just hold the guitar and close your eyes while listening to the CD. My point was... this sort of stuff is all part of the natural evolution of being a guitar player. And deciding the type of guitar player you want to be. Sooner this is learned the better, because unlearning bad habits is very difficult (or impossible for some). You have to be self critical to improve, but you also need to be critical of the people you are learning from. It just takes time to develop it. Maybe I'm being an asshole or maybe I've been the most honest helpful person in the thread, I don't know.. but I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you're just being a douche. The purpose of a forum is open discussion. What's the point of having a forum at all if everything out there is already known and all decisions are absolute? Why talk about guitars? Let's all just shut up and buy the guitars we want without consulting our peers for their experience? Why not just shut the HC forum down and just have people Google for all guitar related information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not tied into one instructor and there are tons of great vids out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chordite Posted October 22, 2017 Members Share Posted October 22, 2017 There was a guy with a Canadian accent did a good and patient lesson on the extended pentaonic scale (I remember him referring to the top end as a 'hoose' shape rather a house which amused me) but I can't find him now. So if anyone finds it please post him. I'm sure he will help someone. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
