Learn to play guitar on YouTube

So, have you ever wanted to learn to play the guitar, or improve your playing, but not had the money/time/desire to search out a teacher? Then YouTube is the perfect place for you!

Will Kriski has a series of videos on how to master metal guitar. His videos are chock full o' information, and very thorough. He's got a great encouraging vibe about him, too. The great thing about Will is that if you post a question on YouTube, he'll actually answer it! And he takes lesson requests too! Doesn't get much better than that!

Here's a sample, on how to do pinch harmonics:


Check out his website with all his guitar lessons here.

Another YouTuber you can check out who has alot of great lessons is "Bob, from Toronto, Canada". He's got his own website with a shitload of lessons, and its really great (but watch out for all those popup ads!). Bob's got alot of newbie lessons,too and they're well organized on his site.

Thanks for posting my lesson vids on your blog. Hopefully we can help people out there!

FYI - I've got another site for learning guitar hero songs on the guitar - http://trueguitarhero.com, but I pull public vids from the web and filter out the bad ones. I may add my own when I can find time.

No problem, Will. Of all the guitar lessons on YouTube, I really think yours are one of the best. The way you explain things and the quality of the videos are great! And you're really doing a wonderful service! Keep it up!
