Lead guitar lessons and free lead guitar instruction sites. A fact you need to be aware of.
In my search to find some good material for an article on lead guitar, I ran a little search for free lead guitar lessons. Sitting up at position number one on google for that search phrase was a beauty of a site. A very confusing site with all the potential to teach you how to play lead guitar. Here's what will happen if you go there. You will end up clicking on an advert. Ironic isn't it? You go there looking for free lead guitar lessons and you end up going some place where they want you to pay.
Now I'm not saying you can't learn to play lead guitar there. I've always believed that perseverance will pay off in the end, but you have to realize that most of these sites are there to make money first, and teaching you some lead guitar lessons is their second priority. To illustrate my point, I've been playing lead guitar professionally for over 20 years, and even I was confused about where to go for a short lead lesson.
Professional lead guitar lessons on DVD, are they worth it?
Sure, there are some lemons out there, but for the most part these guitar instruction CD's and DVD's are put together in such a way as to make the learning experience as smooth as possible. I'm not saying that all free guitar lesson websites are as bad as the first one I came across. Some of them aren't half bad, but nothing beats a truly professional product. Some web based guitar lesson companies have an opt in form where you can sign up for a few free lessons.
I would take them up on the offer for the simple reason that you know they're going to try their darnedest to impress you with the quality of their guitar lessons. After all, isn't that we're looking for? Quality lead guitar lessons. Sure, we know that when the lead guitar lessons are over they're going to try and sell you their product. At least you'll be making an informed decision.
