A free website can teach you to play the guitar

With concerns about the provision of music education in the current climate of cuts, it’s welcome news that a professional guitarist and music teacher called Rex Pearson has set up a free website to offer guitar lessons for everyone. No cost, honest – not a penny.

Rex has seen the effects of the cuts first hand, and says ‘Tens of thousands of students are missing out on the opportunity to learn how to learn the instrument, many of whom are unable to pay for private tuition.’ In an attempt to fill the gap, Rex has created a new website with some of the best guitar lessons in the world, and made it completely free for anyone to use so that those who cannot afford private tuition are never disadvantaged. He says, ‘I wanted to not only make the website free for everyone but to make lessons that were better than anything anyone had ever seen before. It’s time to make a difference in people’s lives and give everyone the chance to play one of the most beautiful instruments in the world.’

The site only launched a few weeks ago and is already receiving fantastic reviews from all its members. Rex plans to move from the intriguing beginner guitar courses to advanced technique lessons, including full guitar songs.

Have a look at www.rexpearson.com. It’s a smartly designed, attractive site with a lot on it to discover. Click on one of the very straightforward video lessons that start from absolute scratch, and if you haven’t got a guitar, beg or borrow one. You never know where your talent may take you, and Rex certainly is a marvellous teacher.
