The fact that there are thousands of electric guitar videos on YouTube is no surprise. Not only there are videos of extraordinary artists performing, but also some instructional stuff, and that’s what we’re talking today.
Learning guitar is a field where visual tutorials come very handy. That’s because it’s difficult to explain some things by words only. What I have for you today is a set of electric guitar videos focusing on many aspects of the craft.
