Free guitar lessons are really a bit of a misnomer. You will always put money into anything you are really interested in and learning the guitar is no exception. If you are looking for free guitar lessons for beginners then read on.
The only place I would look for free guitar lessons is the internet. You might have a mate who will help you out a bit but to get to be the next Eric Clapton you will need more than that. There are plenty of online resources for learning how to play guitar for free.
The first place is myspace. There is a large group of musicians online here who post their latest tunes and ideas. They also know where all the free online music lessons are. I recommend you join up and start socialising with some of these musicians and they will point you in the right direction.
If you do not want to be that friendly you can use youtube. Type play guitar into the search box and you will find some great guitar teachers showing you how to play the guitar. There are so many that it will take you hours to work through them all. The only problem is of course the video quality is sometimes quite poor and you miss some of the detail.
The final place to go is a site called jamorama. As an experienced player of many years I can see that the website is completely comprehensive and will bring success for beginners. They use video and audio in an innovative way that has you playing from day one.
They are offering free guitar lessons for beginners and its all online. The video quality and content is far better than anything you will ever see on youtube plus they are packed with quality content and organised well. The website and lessons cover both acoustic and electric guitar. It is very comprehensive
