Enseigner la guitare sur YouTube. Le tutoriel gratuit et les contradictions de la « numérimorphose » de l’enseignement de l’instrument : le cas de la chaîne MrGalagomusic

Abstract

This article presents the results of a study on how to teach guitar on YouTube. It highlights one of the contradictions inherent in Do (Learn) It Yourself related to free service. “I wonder if I haven’t killed the profession of guitar teacher by offering free content?” muses the owner of the MrGalagomusic channel during an interview. Whereas tenisons around listening to music as a consumer activity are decreasing, how do free tutorials renew a tension inherent in sound reproductibility with the transmission of gestures, expertise and knowledge related to learning to play a musical instrument This tension is specific to convergence culture analyzed by Henry Jenkins: the collective contribution of communities to learning always faces the problem of how to pay the creator. What happens then when learning is plural?
