kestrellSo there is this guy named Justin who has an entire Website full of guitar lessons
http://justinguitar.com
and you can check out the lessons free. He is also a fantastic explainer and gives specific instructions on which finger should go on which string at which fret (he also typically provides instructions for alternate fingerings), and instructions are given both in video and text notes. He even does a bit of troubleshooting at the end of each video so you can figure out why your chord sounds wrong. I've checked out a number of online lessons and audio courses, and this is the one I have found to be, by far, the most blind-friendly. Obviously, however, you don't have to be blind to appreciate his great teaching method, because his site has over 50,000 likes.
And, just to provide the cherry on top of the ice cream sundae, he has a British accent.
Here is the link to the D chord I am working on today

I've been playing guitar... ehhh, I started playing guitar about 50 years ago; there are plenty of folks who are way ahead of me after one tenth of that or less. But I was going to say, I can use some of this. I mean, I probably learned "THE PALM OF YOUR LEFT HAND MUST NOT BE TOUCHING THE NECK! THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!" at some time, but I sure don't remember it. I'ma bookmark this site. Thanks!
