If you already enjoy playing guitar but are looking to take your playing a bit further then one of the things you're likely to do is to head online and start having a look about for guitar instructional videos. You probably won't have to spend too long doing the looking around since even a cursory look online will reveal millions of results, and even limiting it to a single site such as You Tube results in hundreds of thousands of possible guitar instructional video tutorials.
This might all seem like good news, until that is you start watching them. Depending upon your skill level, experience and understanding of guitar play you'll either quickly realise that the overwhelming majority of these guitar tutorials are dire, and should not be followed, or you'll assume that the person knows what they're talking about, and will gladly follow their example, resulting in you developing a whole range of bad habits which will delay your guitar expertise by years and will certainly result in a reduced level of playing ability for a long time to come.
So if you're more accomplished already and are trying to find somewhere you can watch guitar tutorials which really will help you to take your guitar playing to the next stage, what's the answer? You could spend hours searching the web or repository sites such as You Tube (no, I didn't say suppository - that was repository, although judging by the standard of most of the videos on there, it's an easy mistake to make!) The problem with this is that you'll almost certainly find that most of the videos are amateurish, confusing, unclear, include bad habits and inappropriate techniques, and this will waste a great deal of your time.
What's needed is a site that specialises in guitar tutorials rather than using a site which specialises in not having a specialism. Alternatively if you're just starting out learning guitar then you can't be blamed for not being able to accurately tell whether a guitar instructional video is of good quality, or is advising you to play in ways which will create a whole raft of problems later on.
If someone noticed that you very rarely ever dial the number 3 on your phone, since no one in your phone book has a number which includes the number 3, and recommended to you that you remove the number 3 button to increase the efficiency of your phone, reduce incorrect dialling instances and lower the weight of the phone, this might seem like good advise at the time, but you'll quickly start to run into problems later on. Especially when you find that the local taxi service number is 333333.
The same is true with playing guitar, because often people will recommend certain fingering and handling in the early stages to help get over problem chord changes and make it easier to move from one tab to another. But you'll find that if you get into the habit of doing it this way you'll run into certain difficulties later on when you try to include extra chord changes or switch chords in a different order.
So in this case again it is advisable not to rely on the hit and miss affair which is You Tube, instead relying on websites which specialise in producing high quality guitar instructional videos which are produced by experts and feature accomplished professional musicians with years of experience who can help you to take your guitar playing a step further whether you have plenty of experience already or none at all.
It always make sense to start out learning good habits, but when you don't have enough experience to identity the difference between a good habit and a bad one it makes all the more sense to rely on a specialist guitar tutorial service than a website whose specialism seems to be dancing dogs, pre-school would-be singers and people falling off things a lot.
