Hey guys,
I was wondering do you know any website where I can learn guitar playing with some kind of modern approach(without solfeggio and maybe with the use of midi editor)?
I used to play guitar many years ago and I can play chords and simple melody(I do know the notation and such).
I just would like to try again and see if it can help me with my production(learning playing piano at this stage is more demanding).

any ideas?

thanks!

I started Justin Sandercoe's Beginner Course last September and am just finishing it up now. It's free and I highly recommend it.

well if your good with chords and melodies thats all you really need to make music but i do recommend studying modes for the guitar and chord progressions but modes isn't necessary for guys who have natural ability to create stuff but its a great start to make you follow up with ideals knowing whats scale and chords your limited to use within a scale and if you dont care about the theory behind it than just download guitar toolkit app and pick a scale and click chords and it tells you what chords are with the scale you choose . a simple free youtube video will guide you with modes

BTW they make midi guitars that are synth used with your daws!! the reliable ones are the yourock 2nd gen and misa kitaria ,star labs midi guitar i own all 3 and the yourock is the cheapest and fisherman makes midi pickups you place on you guitar it sounds just like piano and works with what ever vst you own

I would second Justin Sandercoe's course. Any books by Joseph Alexander on Amazon are also very good from a music theory standpoint. I would start with the 12 bar blues, even if you are not into blues. It lays a lot of foundation work.

One site I would not recommend is Dangerous Guitar, although I see them on Goupon all the time.

The videos have no transcriptions, some of them are just off the top of the head ramblings, and some of the online tools have errors.

To top it all off, they seem to lose your password all the time even if you have your browser remember it.

Bush league stuff.

I suggest to first do some thinking on what it is that you want to learn, specifically. Developing something of a roadmap will help in preventing you from wasting a lot of time that could otherwise be used for getting to where you want to go.

From what I have seen of the majority of online guitar lesson sites, they tend to have a heavy slant toward specific styles and technique, without providing a solid foundation in music fundamentals.

I have tried Riffstation. If the song is all just major or minor chords, the program does pretty well identifying them.

Once you get into 7th's, 9th's, Sus4's, the algorithm starts imposing basic major or minor names on them, so you will end up using your ear anyways to re-harmonize.

The tempo slower is not better than Magix/Sony Acid.

The Riffstation software does not identify single note runs at all.

The isolation they tout in the videos to either drop out the guitar from the mix or isolate it works in about 1 in 20 songs that I tried.

I leaned through truefire https://truefire.com/join/free
I found them to be the better out of all of em I looked at because they offer monthly subscription as well as buying individual series. Otherwise there's youtube for free.
