re: Online guitar lessons

Just starting out? I'm self taught until recently, and wish I'd have had someone give me some structure at the beginning. Jumping around youtube is a good way to learn specific songs, but sometimes you just need to ask questions or have someone catch a mistake before it becomes a habit or make sure you learn certain things.

there are plenty of folks who give lessons via skype or zoom. Skype lessons are more productive than I thought they'd be. I've been doing an hour a week with a guy from North Carolina who's teaching me bluegrass lead. No different than sitting in the room with him in person. Very productive and no driving or waiting.

ETA: one aspect of skype lesson is actually pretty cool - he can pull up blank sheet on the screen and fill in the tab or notation for what we're working on so I can follow, change it during the lesson as needed, then email it to me immediately so I can work on it. I print them and keep them in a binder.
