You will find e-books, articles, guides, tablatures, chord charts, song lyrics with chords and many more. The internet is preferred by many because it saves time and money and you can browse through from the comfort of your home or even at work. You can shop for the following over the internet:

1. Tutors/Teachers: Learning from a professional always helps. Finding a good guitar teacher is never easy because everyone over the internet will promise you the best. The only way to distinguish is by looking at their qualifications and their reputation. Now if you find a teacher who has graduated from the Berkley School of Music then you can rest assured that he/she is one the best teachers that you can have. Similarly, reputation matters a lot. Look for teachers who have played with known bands and have a reputation in the music world as a leading guitarist. They might charge you a little higher than the market rate but then you will get to learn everything from the basics of guitar to the chord layout, structure, tabs etc.

2. Video Lessons: Video lessons are extremely popular because it removes the cost of hiring a dedicated guitar teacher. There are plenty of websites who offer guitar learning videos for free and some will charge you. You need to be extremely careful while choosing the right website to download from. One of the ways to authenticate is by checking out the video lesson samples and the list of guitarists offering the video lessons. For example: if you find a website where video guitar tutorials are being offered by the likes of Marc Seal (played with Steve Morse), Roger Hodgeson of SuperTramp, Joe Satriani (Berkley School of Music and taught Steve Vai), Gregory Newton and Jeff Baxter; then you can blindly sign up and download the video tutorials because you can rest assured that the tutorials will be comprehensive.

3. Download Interactive systems: There are plenty of interactive systems available on the internet, which can help you with the basics of guitar learning. Some of these executable files or programs can be downloaded free (mostly samples) or after purchasing. For example: there is an interactive learning system called Guitar Power, which offers more than 3000 chord voicing, 550 arpeggios, around 500 different scales, detail on every note on the fingerboard etc. The advantage is that you can upload the system on your computer and start your lessons anytime of the day. It will help you to learn quickly and move from beginners to intermediate and then advanced.

These are the three most common ways of finding guitar lessons but at the end of the day, it all about: where there is a will, there will always be a way!
