Music, and a few simple guitar lessons, make the world go 'round |
Posted: January 7, 2017 |
The great architecture; the crazy-quilt landscapes; the one-of-a-kind food; the friendly, curious people: The planet looks a little different when you're overseas, where culture takes on a bigger meaning and the hosts are always happy to show the place off to their new (and maybe lasting) acquaintances. Learning a few words and phrases from the target language makes a lot of sense in order to create the friendships that make the world go 'round -- so why should it be any different with music? Music itself is a foreign country, with a language and spirit that summons the visitor to an experience unlike he's ever had. The tongue is the friendliest the globe can offer; and as it is with musicians everywhere, you can always count on a captive audience. Understand: You don't need to learn "Malagueña" or become the next Les Paul to set everybody on fire; chances are that most of the listeners don't know any more about your language than you do about theirs. But with millions of musicians having made one instrument the global favorite it is, the guitar seems like a pretty good place to start. Thanks to the Internet, it's never been easier to learn the basics -- and we at Acoustic Guitar Lessons for Beginners (acousticguitarlessonsforbeginners.com) have helped make it that way through our online video guitar lessons package. $19 a month buys unlimited access to instruction from some of the world's best guitarists and easy-to-understand approaches to the musical alphabet, key signatures, scales and chords. If you're gonna do this, you might as well do it right. That's where our free online acoustic guitar tuner comes in. It helps you get pitch-perfect first time, every time, and some tuner apps can be downloaded to your mobile device for harmony on the go. We'll also show you ways to tune your instrument without using the pegs and how to use a capo, allowing you to produce similar results without taking your guitar out of standard tune. Now that you've nailed the basics and you're tuned to the gills, you'll enjoy one of our beginner guitar lessons online on how to fret and strum a simple song. One of our current tutorials features Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself," which demands very little from the simple key of E major -- you gotta walk before you can run, and this one clears a path to all those jogs that await. JamPlay, our company, is the leader in video-based online guitar instruction. We can't pay your plane fare to Germany or France -- but with our first-rate lessons and our dedication to the musical experience, you might just discover a foreign land inside your mind and heart.
