Guitar Lessons with DreidMusicalX

Putting it that way makes me consider taking lessons but i dont have the money right now to take lessons so I'll be going on my own and maybe consider getting lessons later. Alot of those people on youtube cant even teach and some of those videos confuse you even more so youtube might not be the best place to learn but there are some people that can teach and videos are helpful.

I watch ALLOT of people on You Tube who play covers and then teach it. In most cases and I mean 95% of the time when I see a cover played its played wrong. Either the person has played it by their ear and just way off. Or they over play their parts when it takes two guitarist running off where the second guitar player was suppose to play that part. How can you play the song if you were ever to play live? What would the second player play if you are trying to play both? I see that allot! Then you see those people teaching it? To me and I am sorry to say this? You Tube in 95% of the cases is the blind teaching the blind. Then "IF" there is a person on there who does a lesson half way decent. Try to ask that person if you have a question? 99% of them do not answer back at all! So now what? You basically learned nothing from that video. Now there allot of decent beginners and intermediate players on You Tube who really have a good potential to be something much better then they are! If they only knew where and how to take it there? I know I talk with hundreds of them every week. Besides there is much more to learn then just knowing the notes. Most of you're better players have all sat down one on one with another person (teacher) who has taught them. Myself I am 99.9% self taught and I always think back asking myself? Where would I have been if I could have continued lessons with someone. Someone who I was taking lessons with from like Mark Slaughter who was my only teacher in Las Vegas in the 80's. What has taken me 27 years to get to where I am now besides my car accident. Would it have only taken me 10 years or even less? And how much better would I have been if I did then I am now? So yes its completely up to you! It is all you're choice though. But if you are more serious to learn to play correctly and better, lessons are always going to be the better choice I believe. Lets say you did learn from You Tube. From a 5- 10 minute lesson what do you really think you have learned? Unless someone sits down and teaches the entire song step by step in many lessons you have only learned one single part of that song. And that is if it was even done correctly? Then did you know how to use what you learned in other songs? I doubt it unless you have been playing for some time already. Then they know nothing more then likely of how the technique was even done or how it can be used elsewhere. So as I said you can try to learn from a video like You Tube and take you're chances. But more or less I call it learning a jack of no trade. If half a*ss is how you learn half a*ss is what you will be. 1% of guitarist may make it to be really decent guitarists that way.

lol! You never know? Even I still learn every day man. I push myself every day to learn or practice at least 3 hrs a day 5 days a week. At least! I am sure if you have been playing long enough you have a good idea of where to go and hopefully you are always pushing yourself to be better then you are now or learn more. A wise man told me once when you think you have learned everything then you should go back to where you started to see what you have forgotten? More then likely what you thought were only the basics were actually something you can use now that you are better. And he was correct! 100% correct! Sometimes those basics you have forgotten or were never even taught to begin with is exactly what you were missing in you're song and in you're playing. I kinda look at it like this? If we knew everything and no longer needed to learn then no new styles would be made, and all the songs would be written leaving us nothing left to write or no new styles to come out with. That being said? If I could find someone to take lessons from better then me in my area? I would! I would love to sit down and pick Eddie Van Halen,Steve Vai or Satriani's heads! Also a few others out there! lol! In a minute! But what I am offering is a chance for those who do want to learn that chance I never had. I never had the money all the time to continue lessons from someone else after my car accident. Mark Slaughter left to early leaving me with the want to play but not the know how. It was not enough to do really much at all. My own will was what took me. Also I am not going to take on that many students at one time. That way for those few I do give my time to will get all of what I have to offer them until they feel they do not need it any longer? But I am still putting this altogether right now anyways. Those who are interested I am going to start to get to know them right now before hand to see what they know and where I can take them further!

Yes I will slow down and teach all levels as well as explain the chords within everything that I teach. There are some things to be worked out with payment to the time of the appointment for the lesson. I am a honest person though. Paypal is about the only way I can think of doing it though. Unless I stayed online 24/7 waiting for people to come onto Skype? lol! SO if a lesson was missed by say you? I would either re schedule or refund back the money for that lesson or set up another time. That would depend on say like you're internet or mine went down for some reason? That does happen during storms and other uncontrollable disasters. These are the things I am trying to work out to make sure it all falls into place and does well. But one reason why I said about having a decent webcam that does not lag to much. But even if it does a friend of mine and I has been on there for some time now working things out and testing the waters as they say and it really work well so far.
