Perhaps your New Years’ resolution is to learn how to play the guitar. That’s an admirable goal. Here’s how to do it online.
Getinstinct is your online tutor.
Register to create an account and you’re ready to start learning.
The learning is interestingly interactive. You can play with your own guitar or the onscreen virtual guitar.
When you’re playing with your own, the program uses your built-in microphone to listen to what you’re playing.
As you work your way through the tutorials, they’re presented in small learnable chunks. Feedback is immediate and you really are encouraged to work your way through things. At the time of this writing, I had worked my way up to the Mexican Hat Dance.
So, if learning to play guitar or just to meddle with some music, give Instinct a shot.
