Live Online Guitar Lessons VS Prerecorded Video Lessons
As stated above, we believe there is true value and a significant advantage when learning guitar from a live in-person online instructor as opposed to learning from video lessons.
The benefits of learning guitar online with a live instructor
Pros:
Speed up the learning process
Avoid Mistakes and pitfalls
Avoid bad habits, bad technique and injury
Get proper guidance
Lessons tailored and suited to the student
Cons:
Time is valuable, no ability to replay lessons, unless lessons are recorded
Choosing a good instructor is very important
The pros and cons of prerecorded online video guitar lessons
Pros:
Thousands of videos available
Learn almost any style
Learn most songs
Cons:
Risk of learning improper habits or technique
Video may not teach song correctly or teach incorrect ways of playing song
Videos aren’t vetted and you risk learning from someone with improper technique who will steer you in the wrong direction
Online video guitar lessons are great, and there are thousands available on YouTube and through other services, but there is one downside to video lessons. You don’t have someone there to guide you through the guitar learning process. This can lead to bad habits, bad technique, and down the road, can lead to injury.
Learning bad habits and bad technique can be detrimental to your guitar learning journey because they can cause artificial plateaus or ceilings to learning progress which are impossible progress beyond unless you retrain yourself with proper technique. Relearning and retraining yourself, then takes double the amount of time because you will already have a bunch of bad habits in place fighting against new better habits. Also, you will probably have to take online guitar lessons again, to relearn how to play properly.
Finally, due to learned bad habits and bad technique, there is the risk of repetitive strain injury including carpal tunnel and tendonitis. These injuries can take even more time away from your guitar learning journey as you will have to stop playing, or play much less in order to give them time to heal.
