Do those "Learn to Play the Guitar Like an Expert in just 10 minutes" packages on the internet really  work?

Well, I have never used one of those but I am willing to bet that when they say "play like a pro" they are referring to some really simple riff or style that you can actually learn in a short amount of time. Yes some things are very simple but the only thing that is going to get you near a professional level of playing is years of experience. Jimi Hendrix didn't write Purple Haze the first time he picked up a guitar!

I would avoid any online program that you have to pay to join.  I see that you are majoring in Music.  I would recommend going to craigslist.com and posting a free ad that you teach music classes locally.  I'm not sure what the going rate is, but I know you would make more money than any scam you find posted on here.

guitar pro you download it and download songs/ lessons on how to get "better" you can adjust speeds/ tempos so it can play slower and be easier to learn. its awesome !

It might be, but a lot of those kind of schemes, you have to pay the $10 or whatever (usually there are lots of hidden fees, one time registration costs, etc) before you find out what the whole thing is really about.  Anyone with any common sense and wisdom would not subscribe to such a thing without having all the information up front, without paying to find out what it's about.\n\nAnything that charges up front before you even know in detail what is expected, is, to me, a scam, and I haven't seen any internet money making schemes that don't do just that.\n\nIs yours any different?  Doesn't sound like it.\nYou make money on the people who sign up,. and thats about the extent of hte money making going on.

www.musiciansfriend.com\n\nwww.music123.com\n\nwww.zzounds.com\n\nOne thing to look for is whether or not the website offers a "low price guarantee". Several years ago I was shopping for a new guitar, and saw that kind of a claim. The particular website said that if you find a lower price they will match or beat it.

No.\n\nThe reason that most people quit guitar is music theory. Here's what I do for people who want to learn (works for electric and acoustic).\n\nAsk him/her five artists/songs that they like. Go to harmony-central.com and grab five tabs for them to learn. Help them bang out the five songs until they sound decent, then move on the five more. This help s in a couple of ways. It teaches chords and scales WHILE learning a song they like. Once they learn a  song, it gives them something to show off to their friends AND gives them something to go back to and mess around when they get frustrated learning something new.\n\nGood Luck!

I mostly taught myself with the Hal Leonard Guitar Method.  By the time I got through book two, I didn't really use the method books anymore because I could then play other music that I wanted to learn.  Now if I want to learn a new song, I can find chords for that song on the Internet and learn it that way.  If it happens to contain a chord or a section that I can't play, I can practice that and get better.\n\nOver the years, Internet users have figured out chords or close approximations thereof to thousands of songs.  Searching for them with google.com or tabcrawler.com should turn up some songs you want to play, after you get the basics from a good guitar method book or teacher.

its ok man-but you really ought to use a bit of self discipline and save another $100 and get yourself one of the fender squire series-this may not be what you want to hear but you WILL regret it if you buy a starcaster-fender do make fairly good guitars but dont be swayed by the name because you have to play waht you are comfortable with and not the name on the headstock-cheap acoustic guitars like that will do you a big dis-service cos they will hurt your hands and make some of the more difficult chords really difficult or impossible to grab-a good sign to look out for is the"action"-how close the strings lay to the fretboard-the closer they are,the easier you will find it to play-also-try for light gauge phosphur bronze strings as they sound a load sweeter and wont be too hard to play.i appreciate that you are on a budget,but when it comes to playing the guitar there really is no substitute for a quality piece of kit so good luck and keep rockin

I think if you can convert to a MIDI file, you can visit the site from your phone browser and it will work.

Many guitar instruction books come with CDs to play along with.\n\nCheck these out:\n\n\n   http://www.powells.com/s?kw=guitar+instruction&x=0&y=0\n\n\nBlues albums are sometimes the easiest because of simple repititions.

Check around UTA. I'm sure there are a lot of student musicians there who wouldn't mind making a few bucks on the side teaching somebody how to play.\n\nI know there are plenty at North Texas who will teach.\n\nBut just remember - there are very few things in life that can be all three "Good. Fast. and Cheap." You may have to compromise on that somewhere. And for "Fast" ... it all depends on how "Fast" you can learn.
