With the right teacher by your side, playing the electric guitar will definitely be easier for you. Now with internet, you no longer need a teacher as there are countless guitar courses online. Here are 4 fastest ways to improve your electric guitar skills whether you are a beginner or have never played guitar before.

1. Mastering Famous Riffs

There are numerous basic yet impressive electric guitar riffs both on-and-offline.

Some of them are famous movie themes like Johnny B. Goode played by Chuck Berry and Michael J. Fox in his first 2 Back To The Future movies which can motivate you greatly if you are a passionate movie fan other just loving guitar music. Or country music The Gambler played by famous singer and restaurantpreneur Kenny Rogers.

Others include Smoke On The Water by Deep Purple and Proud Mary by Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Using motivation as your starting point, you should have no problems practising them consistently and daily until you become well-familiar with them.

2. Learning A Variety Of Different Chords

1 common misperception by most new guitarists about chords are that they sound boring and monotonous despite knowing that they are the basics and fundamentals to mastering guitar play.

There are a wide variety of different chords out there for you to choose which one suits you better and learn from there with total commitment and constant practice. Once you mastered one, proceed and do the same to others until you become well-versed in at least 5 to 6 different chords.

3. Practising With Quicker Licks And Riffs Regularly

Practising with quicker licks and riffs regularly helps to build up your agility and momentum while increasing your endurance, combining speed and accuracy.

This helps you to play faster notes without getting tired at half way interval of the song and forgetting the notes.

4. One-To-One Coaching

Although online guitar courses provide convenience and flexibility in learning at your pace and timing, there are those who still needed personal guidance. They are not totally comfortable nor feel natural practising by themselves for fear of getting lost and not knowing what to do or where to proceed next from there.

Some online guitar courses do provide one-to-one coaching either through webinars, skype and phone calls or even live class trainings similar to internet marketing courses. But compared to learning online, the price for having a one-to-one coaching is much higher due to the time, effort and resources the teachers need to invest in you to make sure you succeed.

Like everything else, there are pros and cons. Ultimately it boils down to you as to how you want to learn.
