You Can 'Virtually' Learn to Play the Guitar or even Become a Great Singer!

I wish I had more time and social desire to get out there and 'Jam' with someone. I know from experience this is where I find a safe learning environment, have fun, and experience musical synergy. It just doesn't happen too often and I suspect the introverted tendencies of my ambiverted personality are to blame.

Well, a few months ago one of my awesome nephews came over for dinner and to play some guitar with me. It was amazing to see how he, such a self directed learner, taught himself musical theory and has applied it to his guitar playing. It was dazzling to say the least watching his fingers fly up and down the fretboard, hitting the notes intended, and making that baby sing!

He told me so many things I couldn't keep track...and then he showed me how to find 'backtracks' on Youtube for just about any song or artist. Instrumental backtracks that you play along for fun and learning.

As an example here is the link and just for fun I picked 'Move It On Over by George Thorogood:

Another, example of this virtual learning tool is 'Adams Virtual Acoustic Guitar':
http://www.adamsguitar.com/acoustic.html which allows you to see and hear chords and notes using your keyboard and screen.

I love it and am also going to check out a virtual learning tool for singing!
