Ultimate-Guitar:

This website is my personal favorite. I use it for my own personal study, as well as for my song book/lyrics for my band. The free version still works, but the paid version is the greatest value at only $3.99 a month. I use it for my lesson studio, and I teach guitar, bass, drums, and piano using this app. MUST HAVE.

Useful for:

-Guitar, bass, drums, piano, and singing

-Beginner, intermediate, and advance players benefit from this site/app

-MANY techniques taught on this site

-Find the song you want to learn, find the highest rated version, and you’re off!

Youtube:

Youtube is a resource that has changed the world, and would honestly put private guitar teachers out of work if a student understands how to use it properly. I have created playlists for my students to use that include videos that are perfect for their skill levels and interests.

Useful for:

-Instrument study for all skill levels

-Play Along videos that make learning and playing fun

-Instructional videos that are clear, and easy to understand
