A COMPLETE GUITAR LESSON Hi All, I am here with a different kind of idea. I have been in IGT for a long period. With in this time I have seen IGT to evolve a lot. I have been immensely helped by this site and sometimes I have also taken the plesure to stretch my helping hand to others here. This way IGT have played a role of a teacher in my music career. But one thing that I really feel lack of here, is a complete guitar tutorial in this site. By a complete guitar tutorial I mean a complete work which should teach people right from the beginning of how to hold a guitar to the lessons of music theory. One by one, slowly, thoroughly and properly. I want to start such a complete guitar tutorial in this site As for my credentials, well I am also a learner and I have only six years of experience with guitar. I had two teachers Mr. Koushik Mukherjee and Mr. Amit Dutta both are famous in my city. In fact I want to put here all the lessons my teachers have given me so far (with their permissions, offcourse) with more or less practical approach. By practical approach, I mean while giving lessons, I don't want to stick to the theory of music only, I want to illustrate everything with examples from practical world, like say from Bollywood songs, english songs etc. So when I talk about Arpeggios, I must site an example from a bollywood song. When I talk about chromatic scale, i should show one or two examples with full tab. This is the way I want to put it all. I have already started doing work on my project and that's why I know, it's all going to be very volumnous. So it's also a problem how I can put all these things in a message board based website. I think if I could have a sub-forum for it.. but I know that's too much to expect right now! Also I can not put here the hundreds of pages of tutorial all in one. I think I will post tutorial in a regular time gap of 5 or 7 days until I complete. So, I was looking for your opinion about this. I want to know from all the IGTians if they really need such a thing and I also want to know from our admin or moderator about his opinion regarding this. Please let me know of what u think.
Yes we really need something like that.Most of us indian guitar players dont bother to learn theories.So this needs to change.And a comprehensive theory accumulated in one thread would be quite helpful. And i believe there should be more theory and less tabs and chords. taquilaont bother about the others...just do it...you will have showers of blessings from the heaven!!
man u get wat i had in ma mind i wanted such a thing since i picked up guitar i can give u all the points i have for this gr8 help here u get gud reps as advance PS:don't think i'm being commercial but u kno this is the trend
Happy to hear from you Thanks a lot for your replies. I will send the first part of my tutorial on next SUNDAY in the "Guitar lessons, Tutorials and Tips" forum (https://indianguitartabs.com/forumdisplay.php?f=19). I am overwhelmed with all your replies. But I have to make one point clear here. My tutorial will certainly contain theory. A lot of theory. But NOT ONLY theory. I will show you the application of those theories with indian songs and in indian musical context, so that you are never bored of these theory and u understand the practical application of musical theory more clearly. But I would really want to hear from you again regarding this. So please keep in touch. I would also like to hear from the admin about this issue.
man u r doin a gr8 job go on all of us are supporting u but if u can include more of practical it wud surely be better thanking u already!!!
