Online lessons are the future of guitar lessons. The foremost advantage on-line lessons have over in-person lessons is the time saved. Often the amount of time devoted to a lesson is more then double the actual length of the lesson in the case of in-person instruction due to the requisite travel time. Also, if the student is a child the parent and sometimes sibling(s) are entangled in the pick-up and drop-offs robbing of them of valuable time.
