Guitar Courses Reviewed: Most Aren't Worth A Lick!

Who is the easiest person on youtube to learn beginner guitar from (for an impatient preteen)?

My son is 12 and wants to learn guitar but gets frustrated so easily and hasn’t learned the first chord yet. Many Thanks!

Hello there,

You did not mention the style of music your son is learning (trying to learn). Here is a link to a series of video lessons on Youtube. This guy is a great teacher. He has a series of 12 lessons there and covers the basics very well and is entertaining (at least to kids). He uses an electric, but much of the material will translate to an acoustic.

A couple years ago, my nephews and nieces decided to learn. All live too far away for me to teach them. I gave them guitars for Christmas. Then searched the internet for a good set of lessons. I liked this guy the best of those I reviewed. He is a bit of a clown and sort of strange looking (at least to a 60 year old guy). But he comes across well for kids and teens. Take a look at his videos and see if you think your son could benefit from him.
