Free online guitar lessons are a popular item at the moment. Maybe it’s a symptom of the post-Christmas period. There’s a whole other school of commencing guitar players out there who just received free guitars, and today they desire free online guitar lessons. If you possess no thoughts on how to begin to play your new guitar, you will be searching about the internet for info on what you will need to discover how to play your guitar. Maybe you’ve even paid a visit to your local guitar teacher, and not been smitten by their charisma and virtuosity. So now you’re back online, searching for free guitar lessons.
One of the problems for beginners is when you start looking at online guitar lessons the terminology can be a little scary. Learning what all the strings are called, finding out how many notes you have to learn. This is where online guitar lessons excel. On video sites like YouTube every facet of guitar playing is explained to you by experienced guitar players. The printed word does not give us information as effectively as someone looking at us from our computer screen and talking us through matters.
Umpteen sites on the internet have free guitar lessons for beginners. It’s just a matter of looking for them. Type in “free online guitar lessons” and you will be rewarded with numerous sites to explore. If you stay with the thought of getting your guitar lessons from YouTube, all you want to do is pick the lessons you most want and the lessons you most like and save them in your bookmarks. For instance, if you are a raw beginner, you will be looking for a video showing you how to tune your guitar, and maybe a lesson showing you how to change your guitar strings. If you are an electric guitar player you will want someone to show you how to set up your guitar.
As for actually learning how to play. If you don’t have any idea of the variety of songs you want to play, start with fooling around with some of the entertaining stuff you find on YouTube like power chords or fingerpicking. You will find plenty of lessons for these areas of guitar playing and seeing easy chords and fingerpicking patterns will set off your interest in guitar playing.
Even if you do find some free online guitar lessons, any beginner would be well advised to seek out his local guitar teacher and get a few examples from a live person. A teacher sitting in the same room as you are can see your mistakes and correct how you are picking or how you are holding the guitar. These are the basic things that you really should get right from the beginning. You could also look for lessons on HOW to practice and on PLANNING your daily practice. Most guitar players advise beginners to practice for shorter periods at first, with plenty of rests rather than slog it out for long, boring sessions.

Where can I find truly FREE online guitar lessons for beginners?
I have found some videos on YouTube that aren’t very complete and hard to follow due to homemade video quality, and the "free" sites I find usually try to get you to buy something.
you could try iTunes and search in the podcasts.

The other answers are good, but the ONLY page I have found, that might be exactly what you are looking for is tubestreamer.com
It has every video from every video source guitar related, and compiled into one place.
Try: http://www.tubestreamer.com
This site for me has been really useful and has many resources. I like it because of all of the videos, and video categories. Plus it has a search function.
It has everything with tags for "guitar" which make it easier finding guitar related material unlike other video sites like youtube.
On http://www.tubestreamer.com you can find everything from the most basic of beginner videos, to advanced stuff, guitar reviews, amp reviews and more. I found this site a while back and have been visiting it every day since then. I go there to learn to play songs, get equipment reviews, and also to vote.
http://www.tubestreamer.com sponsers someone off of youtube each week and posts them as the "weekly streamer"
This is kindof cool and gives people a change to make it off the youtube site and onto other pages as well.
I noticed when I first started going to http://www.tubestreamer.com a few weeks ago, that there were changes being made to the page every day. I think the site is fairly new, but again has given me answers to most all of the questions I had that were guitar related. If you don’t see something you are looking for, just use the search.
Some Main things on http://www.tubestreamer.com
1. Acoustic covers and tutorials
2. Guitar Lessons
3. Tabs / Covers / Lessons / Workships
4. Guitar information such as Repair / Reviews
Content seems to be updated daily, search tags show new things so I don’t get stuck on searching myself, or trying to find something I would like to learn. I simply go to their page and get great suggestions.
I have sent an email to the admin and got a fast personal response as well. (Which is a good thing)
Something I really like to see…. Great page with great guitar content, of which most of the time has had exactly what I am looking for and more.
I noticed there is also a new section that is a web forum area, and rumored a classifieds posting section for guitars and equpt coming soon.
On the email reply I received from http://www.tubestreamer.com
I was told that there would also be another place added soon for everyone to upload their own guitar videos and tutorials.
Definatly a website worth bookmarking in my browser, and hopefully it will be as much help to you. It is web pages like this I think that really help out by keeping so much information in one place. Thank you TubeStreamer.com !
Sorry to sound like I am boasting this site, but I love it, and it has shown me a lot of new things and I have learned to play a lot of new songs this way. Seeing a video is much easier to learn guitar. (Even has some Piano stuff, and recording software stuff as well)
The newest area added is the forum, and though it doesn’t appear that many people have signed up on it yet, I am sure it will not take too long for this site to take off…Let’s give some support to a great site showing dedication to bringing us great video information for free!
Site is also launching the user formed site of http://www.youstreamer.com
Though youstreamer.com is not complete, I noticed there is progress being made on it every day, so I expect it to be up and running soon.
Visit, sign up for the forums, and browse around! Thank you for reading!
