Hi - I'm new to the forum, and a long time mediocre garage/basement guitarist.  I have a 14 year old daughter who wants to take some pre-recorded lessons - stuff she can rewind and replay as necessary without awkwardness of a live/zoom/facetime situation - she's an awkward /shy kid. She also would prefer a woman - think like Donita Sparks from L7 - Someone that wants to show you 6 chords and a lot of distortion and fun!

Any suggestions for so many specific details:

pre-recorded?

female?

down and dirty rock for beginner teen?!?

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time!

@duck There are some with TrueFire. But I strongly encourage your daughter to meet with an instructor in person. Shyness and awkwardness come with being 14 years old. Avoiding personal interaction is a sure route to poor technique and bad habits, especially in the young. She will miss out on encouragement and direction. Look for a community music school near you, if possible, where you are likely to find an instructor with experience with young people. She can always work with recorded lessons as well.

Thanks for your input Diane. Personally, I would much rather find an in-person punk rock girl to give my daughter lessons, but I am walking a triangular tight rope between my daughter, my wife and me - and they are both on board with the pre-recorded lessons. In other words, I'm outvoted! And yet, I'm the person on here trying to find something..? In any case, I agree with you, but my mandate is to (hopefully) find a pre-recorded, r-n-r, female guitar class. Thanks again for your input.

I understand. Too much to expect, but not too much to ask. What matters is that she's engaged and learning. Good for the whole family.
