The world is changing, we do our banking on the Internet, order our movies on demand via satellite and learn to play musical instruments from our own living rooms using dvd instructional lessons recorded by someone potentially thousands of miles away.
Thanks to dropping prices of DVD technology and the low cost to record, produce, package and ship items you can now learn guitar on DVD for less money then taking guitar lessons from a local teacher. What are the benefits of learning to play guitar on dvd? What's the process like? Keep reading and I'll explain.
Why it costs less money to learn guitar on DVD
Let's look at the costs of private guitar lessons from a local guitar teacher either at a conservatory or even someone teaching out of their home.
Cost for one 30 minute guitar lesson once per week: $15.00
Number of guitar lessons you take per year: 50 (lets assume even your guitar teacher takes vacation)
So that's $15.00 per lesson X 50 lesson each year = $750.00
This isn't factoring in gas money, and your time. Probably more money then you thought it cost to take guitar lessons huh?
Based on this example that's a years worth of instruction, there are some other points I'll explain later but for now let's just compare that to a guitar lesson dvd kit that would also provide at least one years worth of learning.
Cost for Learn and Master Guitar 20 DVD guitar lesson kit: $199.00 + shipping
Being generous with the shipping costs to learn guitar on DVD there's a $500 minumum cost advantage to learning from DVD.
The secondary benefits to learn guitar on DVD
So the cost difference speaks for itself you can't lie about math it is what it is. How ever you could poke holes in the argument that the lesson quality isn't as great, or you can't learn from watching lessons on DVDs.
1.) Time: Time is one commodity none of us have enough of. When you take regular guitar lessons you generally have to drive to the lesson and home, then spend the 30-60 minutes at the lesson all in all you probably burn up and hour and a half to two hours. In contrast you pop in the DVD, watch the 15-20 minute lesson, then refer to the additional material that may be in a work book or on an audio CD. You end up with a time savings of 30-60 minutes per lesson.
2.) Speed: You can learn faster when you learn guitar on DVD. WHY? Because if you're eager you can do more then one lesson each week. Of course this also requires a lot more practicing time but it is possible to do at least 2 lessons a week if you really want to learn fast.
3.) Practice time: This is one place you can't save any time, it takes so many hours of practice time to master a particular skill whether you take a private guitar lesson in person or learn guitar on DVD. How ever, one benefit that is often over looked are the wasted lessons you pay for but aren't able to learn anything new if you don't put in the time to practice between regular guitar lessons. When you use guitar lesson dvds if you need to take a week off there is no cost to you, how ever you're still paying the regular fee each week for your lesson whether you practice or not the other way.
That's my argument, not trying to hard sell anyone I have taken regular guitar lessons and I've also used guitar lesson DVDs. I like both, I enjoy the face-to-face interaction, but let's face it time is something we could all use more of, and learning to play guitar on your own gives you more free time, and less pressure. I suggest you consider the possibility to learn guitar on DVD, if you choose to enroll in private guitar lessons, at least you weighed your options.
