How To Play Guitar – Take Online Guitar Lessons!   by Al Tan

Playing the guitar has been one of my favorite pastimes since I was a teenager. I remember the day my elder brother came home with a shiny new Yamaha nylon-stringed classical guitar. I was really excited but could not get my hands on it as he was hogging it. Fortunately for me, he lost interest in it after awhile and I gleefully inherited it and have been playing since.

Well, that was many years ago and when I recently decided to improve my guitar playing skills, I was glad to find some excellent online guitar lessons. In this article I’m going to tell you some tips to get started and how you can benefit from them.

Firstly, be prepared to do some research. There are tons of good websites out there but only a few offer a complete learning system. Most websites are run by guitar enthusiasts offering some lessons online and they might not be so appropriate as you’ll need to see and hear what’s being played.

That’s where you need to find a guitar learning course that offers:

A structured course outline
Not just a random “Guitar Tips” course. You will need a course to take you from the basics to playing by ear.

An experienced teacher
Some websites are run by other newbies also honing their guitar playing so make sure the tutor is a qualified guitarist.

Videos that show you how its done step-by-step
This would be essential if you are a beginner as you’ll be able to see how the chords actually look (and sound) like rather than just dots on a grid!

The beauty of the Internet is that with some searching and comparing, you’ll soon be able to find that perfect guitar learning system. And what do you need on your end to get started? Well, obviously a guitar, a good pair of PC speakers and a lot of time and patience. Most of all, tons of practice!

One of the key ingredient is ear training and that only comes from many, many hours of playing and you’ll be able to identify chords, chord progressions, rhythm patterns, etc. You don’t need to be born with “perfect pitch” to play like a pro! But you do need the determination to excel in you craft.

Guitar playing is a highly rewarding and relaxing skill which you can acquire and if you’ve been contemplating on learning the guitar, well my advice is get started now! Just get an inexpensive starter’s guitar, get online and as they say – “shred your ax”!

Online Predators $18.99 “Online Predators is a guide for parents who want to know if their child is at risk due to information they share online. Parents will gain insight on how to assist their child in creating a safer profile and displaying appropriate images. This book will help the reader choose software that can act as a ‘virtual’ parent to supervise their child’s online activities. Several techniques used by online predators to groom children for sexual exploitation are discussed in detail. Secrecy is the predator’s strongest weapon communication is the parent’s strongest defense. The resource section supplies a list of websites and phone numbers of agencies working to protect children. This information will aid parents in reporting online predators to the proper authorities. Deputy Chief Michael Sullivan is one of the true pioneers in the battle to keep kids safe online. At the Naperville Police Department and now for the Illinois Attorney General, he has been an innovator and leader in this challenging field. His latest book offers powerful, timely messages for kids and adults. I am particularly enthusiastic about his content for junior and senior high school students, including vital information on social networking, digital cameras, and much more. His content for adults is equally important, reaching into areas in which many are woefully uninformed, including identity theft and peer-to-peer networks. It is an important resource for everyone. Ernie Allen: CEO of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children Online safety is now an essential part of a child’s education. Deputy Chief Michael Sullivan has played a critical role in investigating Internet crimes and creating Internet safetyeducation programs for the Illinois Attorney General’s office. This book incorporates the same excellent methods that we use for delivering clear messages to children, teachers, and parents. Lisa Madigan: Illinois Attorney General”

Thunder Of Drums, A (DVD) $19.95 “Bachelors make the best soldiers,� declares Capt. Stephen Maddocks (Richard Boone), who knows the West can only be tamed by men as single-minded as he is. So with renegade Indians on the warpath, he has no patience for the love triangle that erupts between greenhorn officers (George Hamilton and James Douglas) and a beauty (Luana Patten) promised to one of them – or for the chaos he knows it will cause. Written by James Warner Bellah, whose stories were the source for John Ford’s Calvary Trilogy, A Thunder of Drums thunders with Western action and human passions.

Renfro plays Mark Sway, an 11-year-old torn between what he knows and what he can never tell. A hitman will snuff him in half a heartbeat if Mark reveals what he learned about a Mob murder. An ambitious federal prosecutor (Jones) will keep the pressure on until Mark tells all. Suddenly, Mark isn’t a boy playing air guitar anymore. He’s a pawn in a deadly game. And his only ally is a courageous but unseasoned attorney (Sarandon) who risks her career for him…but never imagines she’ll also risk her life.
