Follow your desire to play guitar with Online Guitar Lessons

You have a burning desire to play guitar and you want to get started as soon as possible. What do I do first, should I buy a book, what book and should I take lessons and where do I do that? All of these are good questions that need to be answered. Most people start with their local music stores to find the answers and that is a good place to start but most stores are not concerned with your desire to play the guitar. They are mostly interested in selling you an instrument, books and signing you up for lessons with one of their teachers.
This can be an expensive start for your guitar playing and often times it can be hard to find a teacher that can give you a well rounded start to your guitar lessons with the basic knowledge you need to begin you adventure into guitar playing. The one thing I have discovered over the years is that learning to play the guitar is not a short term project. Not only is there a great deal information to learn but your hands need to develop strength and agility to take on the task of playing the guitar. For all of these reasons I have developed a series of online guitar lessons at www.gtrteacher.com called Music Ala Carte.
At Music Ala Carte there are free lessons to give you an idea of how the video online guitar lessons work, on the home page there is a bargain box to help you with buying your first guitar and with the lessons there are printable lesson resources that come with the lessons so there is no need to buy extra books. I have been teaching guitar for 25 years; children of all ages, young adults and adults up to age 76. I have designed the video guitar lessons to be similar to my one-on-one studio lessons, there is even an ask the teacher button so you can have personal contact with your teacher any time you want. It's just an email away. In addition Music Ala Carte also offers Song Lessons where you can learn to use chords and strum along the the songs as I play and sing them. There are free MP3's to listen to and play along with.
There are many features that go along with Music Ala Carte;  Easy to follow videos, great printable resources, beginning guitar lessons, song lessons, unlimited access and our go back format; at any time during a lesson or song you feel you would like to repeat or review part of a lesson or segment, you can go back to the practice tab, previous segment or video and repeat as needed.

I invite you to visit Music Ala Carte at www.gtrteacher.com and take a look around, I think you'll like what you see.
