What's the Secret? How to Play Guitar Fast

By Veronica Carrillo

The internet has changed the way guitar playing is taught. In the past they were all taught in music schools. However, online guitar lessons are now the popular craze. Why do people choose online lessons over those taught by traditional instructor led courses? There are various reasons to this change. The two popular reasons are the convenience and the cost factor.

Musically inclined students who desire to be professional musicians are more inclined to choose traditional instructor led guitar courses. They need the one to one guidance. They will not be able to get this privilege from online lessons.

Another way to improvise on the piano is to play a game I call "Finish the Melody." To do this, play one note. Then, let go of that note and play it again, followed by another note. Then let go again and play those two notes adding another note. Continue in this fashion until you can not remember all of your melody. Then start a new one. Maybe this melody starts on a new note. If you are a good singer, singing helps develop your melodies. So, sing.

The above factors may be acceptable to students with musical aspirations but not to the recreational guitar player. In fact there are more people who want to play the guitar as a recreation. They need to learn how to play the guitar through a method which is convenient as well as not expensive. The online guitar courses are the best choice for this group of people.

Online guitar lessons are very flexible whereas the instructors are not. It is also very cheap. The complete online lessons normally cost what one hour of instructor led training would. The beauty of it is that you only pay a one time fee unlike those paid monthly to traditional instructor led guitar courses.

Improvising is the easiest way to play the piano and there are a number of ways to approach it. The challenging part is being patient and kind to yourself while you become aware of what works and what does not work; what you like and what you don't like; what you know and still want to learn.
