Learn Guitar with Jerry ‘Stringbender’ Wyatt
Through the years the staff at Free Beginners guitar lessons has encountered hundreds if not thousands of on-line training courses. Everything from Band Promotion to Learning to Play the Guitar. Most of them are just hype full of promises that are never delivered upon while charging huge amounts of money leaving people scratching their heads wondering how they got scammed
Our goal was to find and deliver quality content and point aspiring musicians in the right direction
We get inundated with questions each and every month about Guitar Programs. Apparently everyone has a need to learn how to play some sort of instrument. So we decided to address these questions one instrument at a time.
If you’ve been following us lately you may have seen our poll asking our readers “What is the most important question you would like answered to help you become a better musician?” The feedback was Overwhelming. At least half of you responded with questions about Learning Guitar
You may have also seen that a while back we joined up with a ‘good ole’ southern boy’ by the name of Jerry Wyatt. Jerry has been giving guitar lessons for over thirty years. A number that is impressive in and of itself. But the really impressive number is the amount of guitar players who’ve connected with him and have improved faster than they ever dreamed. This guy is an open book, he puts everything on the table for his students to see and they love him for it… Simply put, he’s a straight up guy who just has a need to give back to something that has given him so much pleasure in his lifetime…Pay it Forward if you will.
As it turns out Jerry ‘Stringbender‘ Wyatt has much more to give than a desire to give back. Jerry offers revolutionary techniques for teaching guitar that have never been shown outside of his private instruction and fifty dollar a seat clinics. Students relate to Jerry on a level that I have never seen before… Ever! It’s like you grew up together and your learning from your best friend. Not only that but he skips over all the B.S. and brings you straight to the heart of playing the guitar fast and easy. He compares it to driving a Porsche… If someone hands you the keys, what’s the first thing your going to do? Are you going to look under the hood and kick the tires? I don’t think so! You’re going to climb into that car and drive like wild! Learning guitar is the same thing. You can come back to music theory and all the boring stuff later… after you take that guitar for a test drive.
Jerry has decided to release his course to the public. After over a year of giving away some of the best lessons available on the net today, he has developed a awesome course that everyone is talking about. Jerry calls it his ‘Full Blown Course’. I told you he was a southern gentleman but what he’s offering here is worth at least four times what he’s charging. That’s taking Southern Hospitality to a whole new level. These prices go back to the 80’s and honestly Jerry should be charging so much more.
Unfortunately Jerry has to limit the amount of people he can let in to the program! You see, the video lessons consume a rather large amount of server space. I’m sure that some of you know what I’m talking about but for those of you who don’t, it simply means that not everyone will get in! If you are interested you can go take a test drive for less than $5. If you don’t like anything at all he will give back every penny as well as give you an extra month for free, no questions asked. I think he’s nuts but I guess that’s how things are done in The Smokey Mountains… Maybe the altitude!

What I enjoy about your videos is that you break everything down taking time to explain what you are doing and how to do it.
Jason
I took lessons for over a year and was board silly. I actually put down my guitar for a couple of years and have recently committed myself to really learning to play. In just the first lesson I understand the notes on my guitar more fully today than ever before. I look forward to seeing whats next! Thank You!
Dake
Being a beginner, you have made it enjoyable to learn and very easy to understand. My 10 y.o. daughter is learning to play as well. We enjoy learning and playing the guitar together. Thanks for the great lessons!

Guitar Lessons For Everyone
I know, this site isn’t called Advanced guitar lessons and I truly thought that our lessons were geared toward the beginner! But something amazing has happened. Since we launched a couple of weeks ago the feedback from the seasoned pro’s has been awesome! It seems that Jerry Wyatt is connecting with his students on a level that has far exceeded our expectations. You can read some of the testimonials Here.
Jerry is a nut, what he’s giving away in his Free Bridge Course is way better than lessons I have personally paid over $100 a month for. And thats his free stuff. Since we launched the paid course (which is extremely under-priced in my opinion) students are knocking the doors down trying to get in on this thing. The problem is that spots are going fast. Luckily I made Jerry promise me a few hundred spots for my readers. I thought it would take me a while to fill this many spots but I was way wrong. In fact at this rate they will be gone soon.

Is it possible to find good acoustic guitar lessons on the internet?
I want to get acoustic guitar lessons but with my current crazy time-shifting job it is impossible for me to be available during decent hours. I have heard there are video lessons on the Internet but I would like to get feedback from someone who tried it.
There are video courses available that you can pause and replay when and as often as you want. It is a definite advantage over a teacher who will be available for only an hour or so at the time and that you will have to pay by the hour.

How much to pay for guitar lessons?
My 10 year old daughter will be starting guitar lesson this week. The 20 year old son of a good friend is giving them to her. Nobody has any idea how much they cost, nowhere within 60 miles of where I live gives them. This guy is a good guitar player, but has never given lessons. Does anybody have any ideas on what to pay him? Thanks in advance!
If it’s 1 on 1 training, then it’s going to be more expensive. I use to pay $35 per session, which was 50 minutes each. It was with an experienced musician, with a degree from Berklee school of music. His dad is actually a very famous guitar player, and he himself has played concerts with his dad, and other musicians like Eddie Money. I’ve seen guitar players charge $45-$70/hr, and these aren’t guys with any professional training.
I would make sure he knows what he’s doing. He should provide her with lessons and tab/sheet music. Just because he’s a good guitar player, doesn’t mean he’s a good teacher… but it also doesn’t mean that he will be bad at it either. For the most part, I’m sure he’ll be able to give her some tips and get her started off in the right direction.
So, if there is no other guitar teacher within 60 miles of you, then make sure you ask the guy what he wants to get paid. If it’s not worth it to him and he starts flaking on you or your daughter doesn’t seem to improve at all, then it’s time to get some video’s and lesson books and learn on your own.
Anyways, $45/hr wouldn’t be a bad rate. Remember, if it’s only $15/hr and he gives her a lesson once a week, then it may not be worth his time… I wouldn’t do it for $15 a week. BUT, if he has plans to give lessons in big groups, then that would be fine. I was getting charged $150 when I first started, and it was a group of 4 kids. I got 4 lessons per month for 1 hr per lesson… so that was pretty expensive.
Do you have to take lessons to learn how to play a guitar?
I want to learn how to play the guitar, but do I have to take guitar lessons or does and help books work also?
All of that depends on you.
I, for one, was capable of teaching myself guitar. Without a teacher, I independently studied music and I am constantly playing, trying to learn new things. I have a passion for it. I’ve dedicated loads of time to it.
Books? Well, books like Guitar for Dummies and other assorted books aimed at the beginner never helped my cause. That doesn’t mean they won’t help you, I’m just saying. The books that helped me are tab books. Conveniently found at my local music store, I bought books that had note for note transcriptions of albums by my favorite artists. Then I studied them, simple as that, and they helped. Using these books, it helps if you can read sheet music, too. Not so much reading which note it is on the staff, but note durations, so that you can more clearly understand the timing. That’s the real trouble with looking up tabs online, is that it’s very hard to read into the timing, though it can be done if it’s a well written tab. I doubt I’ll ever see tabs as elegantly written online as the ones I found for Iron Maiden’s The Trooper. (Picture a tear dripping from my eye here, it was beautiful.)
Anyway, just because I didn’t need any lessons doesn’t mean you don’t. Like I said, it all depends on you.
Do I really need guitar lessons to learn to play anymore?
I’ve decided to learn to play the guitar.. But do I really need lessons? I mean, nowadays, you can learn practically anything you want with a little research on the internet. I’ve got several books and a dvd or two. Will getting lessons be necessary?
Thanks.
Need? No.
With enough determination, lots of practice, and an ample amount of patience, it is entirely possible to teach yourself guitar. I did, and I don’t suck.
Before I continue, I’ll admit to having a bias. I can be a cocky SOB when I want to be, and the method I chose to learn guitar is no different. Also, I started very young, while my brain was still figuratively speaking like a dry sponge, ready to absorb anything. I’ve never had a single lesson, and there are certain elements to my style that reveal the fact that I am not a schooled musician. Then again, my heroes are all (for the most part) self taught.
It is by far easier to learn guitar with lessons. Also, there are several "improper" ways of playing that a) can be avoided through lessons, and b) are difficult to change once they become ingrained in your self-taught style. I put the word improper in quotes because of my bias; I feel that sometimes, these are also things that give you flavor, that are marks of uniqueness in a musician.
If you do choose to teach yourself, I highly recommend a poster called "Guitar Chords," available at most music stores and I’ve also seen it at other places in their poster collections. Not only does it look cool on your wall, but it also makes an easy reference, and it’s a good in-your-face reminder to pick up your guitar and practice. Practicing new things often is the key to improving your playing. Also key is to remember that everyone sucks at it for the first little bit, and if you can get over that first hump, the rest is smooth sailing.
So yeah, the key word in your question is "need." Many people don’t need lessons to learn, but it sure can help.

Learn to Play Acoustic Guitar Chords
Many people who have chosen to learn how to play the acoustic guitar have found it very rewarding. Not only have they learnt a new skill they find it very relaxing when they play it. But if you are not careful when it comes to learning how to play the acoustic guitar you may find yourself playing it incorrectly. If you want to learn how to play the instrument properly you need to learn how to play acoustic guitar chords first. Below we offer some tips you may find useful when it comes to how to learn acoustic guitar chords properly.
Tip 1 – It is important that you take time and practice every lesson relating to playing guitar chords as much as possible. Spending time at the beginning making sure that the hand positions are correct will further help to ensure that you play the chords you are learning on an acoustic guitar properly.
It is going to be difficult in the beginning but over time your hands will become more flexible and you will find moving them across the strings much easier. It is a good idea to look for and carry out some hand exercises before you start your lessons or practice.
Tip 2 – If you intend to use online lessons to help you play guitar chords properly then carry out plenty of research before you hand over money. Some will charge you lots of money for their lessons but won’t be able to cater your own particular way of learning to play this instrument.
It may be better in the beginning to instead purchase a chord book and use this for learning how to play them correctly. This allows you then to work at a pace suitable to you and allows you to pay close attention to your particular style of playing.
