+ 1 for www.justinguitar.com
While many sites have just a hodgepodge of videos, he's created a fairly structured program - the beginner's program alone has 50 lessons; then there are separate programs for technique, for chords (barre, power, etc), for scales, etc. He is a good instructor and is very "likeable" (which helps you learn).
The site is free, though if you use it, you should make a donation via Paypal.

Two others I've been playing with:

Jamorama - this is a fairly inexpensive course (beginner's program is $40); it's a downloadable set of lessons. What I like best about Jamorama is their "jam sessions", where you can jam along with their pre-recorded music; each jam session has 2 settings - you can include the lead guitar (and play along iwth it) or you can mute the lead (with you playing it). I think Justin's teaching style is better, but the jam sessions alone may be worth the $40.

I've just started to use Claude Johnson's Guitar Control package
http://www.guitarcontrol.com/main.php
- while this includes a beginner program, I think he excels more in making scales and lead guitar more accessible. I'm just starting the program, so can't really give it a grade yet, but seems pretty good.

you should check out doug dopplers series of tutorial vids. man that guy is amazing (which is why he took over joe satriani's teaching position at the guitar institute of technology when joe left), i learnt a thing or two from his vids

I highly recommend this guy here:

A friend of mine who was offered a job as a tourguitarist for an old 50's Rocker, had to prepare 6 months long Psycho and Rockabilly style guitar licks and tricks to be able to play the songs. He found and joined the a.m. site and his progress was tremendous.

I think there is no better source online for what you are looking for.

Chords are boss, that's all you need to know.

My method are triads (chords), CAGED system, and pentatonics.

Justinguitar.com has pretty good free lessons. I still think teacher is the best way to go, but I understand the whole money think. Jamplay.com looks pretty promising also.

[Trailer Park Casanova]

Personally I'd recommend this one:

http://www.justinguitar.com/index.php

It's where I learnt most of my lead playing from.

That is a very good site.
Thanks for the tip.

His tuning tricks are great.

[Commodore 64***]

that guy has retarded fingernails.

If you are referring to justin sandercoe from justingguitar.com, it's because he fingerpicks.

[piebaldpython***]

David Hamburger.....for kick-*** blues and slide instruction. Go to YouTube, key in his name and there are a number of tutorials that are excellent. He explains stuff as well as that VEINS guy from DolphinStreet.com.

He has a couple of DVD instructionals out. Very good stuff.

Is studying the guitar hard? Many people think so, however from my very own experience I can actually say no! It isn't at all. I have been playing for 2 years now and day by day I discover I'm studying something new. The toughest part of studying to play the guitar is whenever you first start; when you are constructing your finger strength. Upon getting built up your finger power and calluses, you may discover that you would be able to play for much longer without any pain.

What I like concerning the guitar is that you could truly start playing your first track on the identical day you pick up the instrument. With most different instruments, because there is a for much longer studying curve, many individuals start to lose curiosity before they've begun.

When you can grasp three chords on the guitar you will be able to play hundreds of songs. This is why the guitar is such a popular instrument to learn. The three chords it's best to master at the start are the G, C, D chords. Follow playing and altering from one chord to a different on the guitar. It is very vital to not change from one chord to a different the same way on a regular basis, however to alter the sequence. Follow G-C-D; do that until you might be comfortable. Then change to C-D-G, then D-G-C and so on. After getting mastered those three chords you can start to study the A chord and then the laborious F chord.

You must commit to day by day practice if you want to achieve your desired results. Even if you solely have 15 minutes to practice it is higher than doing nothing at all. Within those 15 minutes you could practice pentatonic scales, the rock box or a new chord that may be providing you with problems. The most important factor to do is, carry on rocking on that guitar. You'll never remorse it!

One of many many questions individuals ask is, are you able to learn to play the guitar on the web? You sure can! There are so many good websites now that provide instruction. You'll also discover an especially giant quantity of guitar programs which might be out there for purchase. Nonetheless, it is at all times good to study from a teacher in a classroom, especially when you find yourself first beginning out. Nothing beats the palms on method! You should have the possibility to learn the proper strategies of holding and playing, that you could be not be capable of be taught from a video. When you study the basics from a guitar teacher, the enjoyment begins. With the proper strategies, further instruction becomes much simpler and enjoyable. The expertise you can attain is boundless!

To search out which course is greatest for you, you will want to search evaluation sites to get some high quality reviews.
