One of the most important things to think about when you first
get a guitar is HOW you're going to learn to play. I've done a
little thinking for you, and I've come up with four main options
for you to consider. But remember this: The choice that is best for you mainly
depends on what your goals are as a guitarist. It's up to you to
work out what you want to get out of playing guitar. Here are the four main ways: Guitar teacher One of the best ways to go about learning guitar,
no matter what style you want to play, is choosing a guitar
teacher. A properly trained guitar teacher can help your playing progress
much faster than if you were learning on your own. Also, a guitar teacher can help you avoid bad habits before they
even form, and correct you as you learn...which means this is
the best option for most people. A friend or family member Another option when it comes to
learning to play guitar is to have a friend or family member
(who can play guitar already) to teach you. It would help if this friend or family member has had lessons
themselves, as they may be able to relate their experiences of
learning and help you progress faster. However, unless the person is already an accomplished
guitarist...you should be careful who you learn from. Books If you have no other option, you can learn to play guitar
from books. This can work well if you have a lot of focus and
determination. Also, the style of guitar you choose to play can
make a difference. For example, you could quite easily learn how to play basic
chords from a book...but if you want to play something more
advanced like classical guitar, books are not a very good
option, as advanced techniques need to be taught in person. DVDs DVD's are quite a new way of learning guitar. Some DVD
packages on the market are almost like having a real life guitar
teacher with you...only they can't point out your mistakes, so
you need to make sure you're doing it right. If you're the kind of person who likes to learn visually...this
may well be one of the best options for you. In conclusion, the way you choose to learn guitar depends a lot
on what your goals are as a guitarist. Would you like to learn a
few chords to play your favourite songs? Well maybe you could
learn from books & DVDs. Do you want to learn an advanced method
of guitar such as flamenco or classical? Well maybe you should
find a good guitar teacher in your area. If you plan to play in a band, guitar lessons may help you get
down that road faster. But it's quite possible to be self-taught
and still form or join a band. The most important thing to keep
in mind if you want to be in a band is to gain experience in
playing with other people. Being able to play a finger-blurring solo isn't really as
important as keeping good time, and playing together with a
band. About the author:
