Do you want to learn how to play the guitar? One good method is to watch some of the best YouTube tutorials. There are a plethora of great visual guides on the platform to help you hone your skills.
However, how can you watch YouTube guitar videos when you’re on a plane or if you’re going to visit a friend without WiFi? What if you want to keep watching a video over and over again, say at work or at school, where staying online isn’t allowed?
Don’t panic, we’ve got four great solutions for you. Check out how you can continue watching on your laptop, phone, or tablet by using these options here:
Online Tools
There are a ton of ways to watch YouTube guitar videos without a stable connection. The most prominent method is to use online downloader tools, like ClipConverter or KeepVid. These are often free to use but the pages come loaded with ads and pop-up notifications.
All you have to do is enter the URL of the video you want. Some tools will also let you choose what video format you want the file to be in so make the adjustments before moving forward. If you only want the audio, tools like ClipConverter and YTMP3 allow you to remove the video and download the audio as a WAV, MP3, or other audio file types.
Keep in mind that some online tools will not allow you to download a video if it contains copyrighted material, particularly music. It can get annoying but the good news is there is a myriad of tools out there, meaning you’ll find one that gets the guitar video you want without any hiccups.

Desktop or Mobile Apps
Browser tools rely on the power of your Internet connection and your browser to convert a file. The main issue, for some, is that they can only download one video at a time. What if you want to get multiple videos at a time or what if your browser isn’t properly updated?
You can use a few desktop or mobile apps to get the same job done and with some more customization options now available. AnyVideoConverter, AnyTrans, Vidmate, and Videoder are some great examples.
These apps work similarly to browser downloaders but you have to install them on your PC or Android phone.
Again, it starts by inputting the URL of the video and selecting the parameters of the file desired. The main difference now is that the converter/downloader now uses the power of your device to convert the YouTube video into an MP3 or MP4. This can lead to faster file conversion and some apps allow you to select multiple videos to download at once.
You also don’t have to worry about issues with downloading copyrighted music. You can pay for a premium version of these apps and this allows you to bypass such obstacles. Premium versions can also open up other file conversion types, like giving you an option to download a YouTube video as a FLACC audio file.
If you want a full, robust method of downloading guitar videos for offline viewing and sharing, then using a desktop or mobile app is the way to go. The customization options and quicker conversion make up for the premium costs.
RealPlayer Downloader
Looking for a method to download YouTube videos without having to open a separate tool every time? With RealPlayer, you can simply click a “download now” button that appears whenever you play a video and it’ll do it immediately, without requiring you to open a tool or browser tab.
Of course, you will need to download RealPlayer. At first glance, it looks like a traditional video player similar to VLC or Windows Media Player. However, the player also has a setting that allows you to activate a video downloader plugin, which you need to enable on your browsers.
As soon as you enable it, the RealPlayer download button will start popping up anytime you play a guitar video.
The best bit is that it works on other platforms too. Did you find a few guitar videos on Vimeo or Facebook? Now you can download those too!
Yes, you can only play the downloaded videos initially on RealPlayer but there are a few workarounds for this. You can update your VLC player so that it can play most types of video files, including RealPlayer file types, or you could use a converter to turn the RealPlayer videos into a traditional AVI, MP4, or MKV.
Using YouTube Premium
Did you know YouTube has a premium membership available? For $12 a month, you can become a member and utilize the different tools and features now available. One of the best features is the ability to keep a video playing in window mode, even on mobile devices.
This allows you to keep watching your favorite guitar videos, like song tutorials, while doing something else. You can now watch YouTube videos while also accessing Facebook or Instagram, for example.
It also allows you to temporarily download videos. Keep in mind that these remain available only for 29 days. You’ll have to reconnect to the Internet to continue watching those offline videos.
YouTube Premium is only available in a select number of countries, including the US. This is different from the newly launched YouTube TV.
