There’s more guitar information available online than ever before.
So can you learn guitar on YouTube alone and get to the level you want?
That’s the question Sammi and I wanted to talk about after reading some of the comments you shared on our last two talk videos.
We talk about the difference between watching and learning, and how easy it is to keep consuming information without really taking the time to digest it. We also explore what can be missing when we learn primarily through tabs, visuals, and online videos, and why listening, paying attention, and spending time with music are such an important part of learning guitar.
And because so many of you enjoyed the song recommendation in our last video, we end this conversation with a few more songs we think are worth spending some time with.
We’d love to hear what you think, too. If you’ve been learning guitar online, how has that experience been for you? What’s working, what’s been difficult, or what would you like us to talk about in a future video? Share your thoughts in the comments...we’re reading them!
Thanks for continuing to share your thoughts and questions with us. We really appreciate being part of your journey.
