How did anyone ever learn anything before YouTube?

I mean, I was alive during the last century, so somehow I learned a bunch of stuff. But YouTube makes it much easier, especially when it comes to skill-based tasks like playing the guitar.

A ton of creators have figured this out, too, of course, and the number of channels dedicated to the best instrument in the world has exploded. But some of those channels have risen to the top (at least the top of my list), and I want to share them with you today.

If you are a guitarist looking to get better at your instrument, these are the top 10 channels you should be following.

Rick Beato

Rick Beato is a former college professor, professional musician, and producer. He is a walking encyclopedia of all things music, and he features the guitar in many (perhaps a majority) of his videos. Plus he’s interviewed many of the biggest names in rock and jazz guitar.

I don’t care how much you think you know, you will learn something from every Rick Beato video.
