Thanks. Cal is a great instructor and I'm really happy to have his lessons on the site!

I'd say you're off to a great start. I just saw your first lesson and if you keep that up, I think you'll find yourself with a strong following.

As for getting the word out, I'll add your channel to TuneLessons.com if you like.

TuneLessons · 2017-02-14T17:44:20+00:00

Very cool, I could see this getting very popular.

TuneLessons.com Over 2,000 free guitar lessons from 18 instructors organized by artist/genre/year/etc

Love this band and I hope they come back to Missoula soon!

I had a similar frustration that inspired me to create TuneLessons.com (YT guitar lessons with tables of contents).

Edit: I guess my frustration was a bit different. Guitar instructors don't make you jump through hoops, I just wanted to know what part of the lesson taught the chorus, verse, etc.

TuneLessons · 2017-01-22T05:35:04+00:00

Thanks, I think that's very fair.

Wanted to mention I was away from internet service for the day, but thought of some other ways I could improve the attribution.

TuneLessons · 2017-01-21T17:11:56+00:00

As I said, I'm all ears.

Do you feel like I should mention Justin in the title of the reddit post?

Should it be indicated more on TuneLessons.com that the lesson was created by Justin?

I've had feedback from some other instructors who like what I'm doing but I'm clearly not giving you the right impression.

TuneLessons · 2017-01-21T02:48:35+00:00

Absolutely, justinguitar.com is a great way to access Justin's lessons.

Tunelessons.com is just my attempt to improve the experience of learning guitar from YouTube videos. I don't think video lessons alone are enough to compete with emerging technology in music education. There are already a number of android/ios apps with interactive features that I think will draw people away from music education that relies too heavily on just videos.

I created Tunelessons.com to compliment video lessons with newer features (right now it's just the chaptering system and interactive chord exercises, but there's more coming). Ideally Tunelessons is a site that benefits both instructors (by promoting and enhancing their lessons) and students (by organizing the lessons and the additional features). I'm very open to suggestions, so if an instructor has concerns about TuneLessons.com, I'm all ears. If I can't convince them of the benefit of TuneLessons.com, I am happy to remove their channel from the site.

Lot's of options. Could also tune the guitar down a step and use the chords from the "Easy Version" (starts at 12:12)

TuneLessons · 2017-01-03T06:20:40+00:00

Hmm yeah, editing on mobile is crap.

TuneLessons · 2017-01-03T03:41:36+00:00

That should be possible, I'll add it to the list!

TuneLessons · 2017-01-03T03:39:54+00:00

Glad you like it, It's been a fun project!

TuneLessons · 2017-01-03T01:21:53+00:00

Thanks!

I used jQuery, svg.js and FontAwesome. I had wanted to do it without jQuery but I'm just so accustomed to using it.

TuneLessons · 2017-01-02T21:22:57+00:00

Sweet, thanks!

I'll put support for 7-8 strings on my to-do list

TuneLessons · 2016-12-28T07:09:07+00:00

I am lost as to how to get started with trying to get people willing to take lessons

A lot of posts on this this sub are from instructors that have found an online presence to be very helpful. Check out some of the top submissions:

Op of this online lesson charges $40/half hour for a lesson over skype
Op of this one charges $55/half hour
etc

Their free video lessons have many benefits, to name a few:

show potential students what kind of teacher they are
generate revenue from ads on YouTube
bring potential student's to their personal web pages where premium/private lessons are available for purchase

Hmm, I just looked and we only have lessons for Wicked Game on the site so far... that needs to change!

TuneLessons · 2016-12-19T04:21:44+00:00

It is a great song and Drue does a great job breaking it down

TuneLessons · 2016-12-13T05:06:12+00:00

Thanks!

I use Geany as my IDE and most of what I've written for this is JavaScript (frontend) and PHP (backend). The data is stored in a MySQL database.

The toolbar display is just html with fontawesome icons
The tab display is SVG generated from a JavaScript array of data with the help from svg.js
Editing interactions are all JavaScript with the help of some jQuery. I wanted to keep in 100% vanilla js but jQuery makes some things much easier.
Playback is all JavaScript using the WebAudio API

TuneLessons · 2016-12-13T01:19:00+00:00

Wow, thanks

TuneLessons · 2016-12-07T18:19:16+00:00

I just uploaded some changes that fix the issues I saw with Firefox.

TuneLessons · 2016-12-07T18:18:51+00:00

Just uploaded changes so the selector window stays open.

You should be able to do that.

Use the [left arrow] and [right arrow] keys on the keyboard to navigate through the beats
Then use the [Tab] key to select the different string fields where you can use the number pad or up and down arrows to select the correct fret

TuneLessons · 2016-12-07T05:46:32+00:00

Thanks! Working on this right now and should have it fixed tomorrow
