I think the best teacher on YouTube is Andrew Wasson from Creative Guitar Studio. His lessons are the most thorough and he explains stuff way better than any other guitar teacher on YouTube I’ve ever seen.

I’m sorry you were disappointed in the videos. I guess your definition of lesson and mine differ. I would define lesson as something that teaches the viewer a new skill or provides them with information they didn’t already possess. I certainly learned a lot from Clapton talking about how he achieved that great tone, from Angus Young explaining his style, and from Slash explaining how he plays American Man.

Man, I’m really disappointed with this list. It’s nothing more than celebrity guitarists playing in front of the camera – there is not one actual LESSON in this lot!

Completely worthless.

Thanks for the comments, Danny.

You’re right, YouTube is a great resource. And the TV is a great tip. If I’d been compiling a list of the top five guitar players on YouTube, I would have almost certainly put Hendrix at No. 1.

But the idea was to post videos of great guitarists actually giving lessons, hence the ‘teachers’ in the title. If I had found a video of Jimi giving a lesson on YouTube, I would have posted it at No. 1.

I love the article and the way you put it together, but Kenny, you and I both know Jimi Hendrix was the greatest most emotive and effortless player ever. He most definitely should be numero uno.

I use You Tube video lessons all the time. You stole a good story from me!
It’s a great idea and it is free. The tv is a cool vibe to practice to. Theme songs and commercials.
