Teaching guitar or any musical instrument has really not changed in hundreds of years. Students typically find a local teacher, book in a lesson and meet the teacher face to face once a week. Well this model is changing and changing fast. In the 90s our social life was something we did primarily in person. Today we mostly socialize online via Facebook etc. Learning online is only just starting but it will become the norm in the next 5 years or so. You only have to look at how much the Internet has already impacted on our lives. I believe the only thing slowly down online lessons from exploding is the technology and people's general confidence. Skype and Google video are good enough now on most computers but not all but it won't be long before its 99% reliable. Teachers who I speak say they are not sure how to teach an online lesson so this presents a confidence issue. Students are keen to try but they just don't know where to find the reliable online teachers. There is still a trust issue which I am sure we will work out very soon. I have successfully been teaching online since 2009 and I am now helping other teachers to do the same.
