Beginner Guitar Lessons

By Payo W Perry

There are many competing websites, books and DVDs available when it comes to the subject of guitar lessons for beginners. For novices it can be very difficult to know which method of guitar instruction is best especially if you have no experience whatsoever.

The classic way to learn guitar is by going to a local tutor for private lessons. This time honoured practice is still probably the best assuming you can actually find a good local tutor, there may not be one present. My first word of advice is this - just because someone is advertising a guitar lesson does not automatically mean they are a good tutor.

The ability to teach guitar well to beginners is a skill and a talent. Quite often it's possible to find someone who is an excellent guitar player but a terrible teacher!

So assuming you can't find a good tutor locally or simply don't have the time to commit to a weekly lesson time slot there's always the internet ready at the rescue. Online there is a growing wealth of guitar lessons for beginners and some of them are superb resources.

Online you can learn at entirely your own pace, repeat the video lessons as often as you like and choose your own daily time to make contact with the instrument. In all it represents a lot of opportunities to learn with minimum interference into your lifestyle.

The subject of online beginner guitar lessons also comes with some warnings! Its buyer bewares out there as among the good sites there are plenty of awful ones too. Paying money to learn from a guitar method which is out of date, old fashioned and of poor quality is not going to succeed in teaching you how to play guitar. In fact, it may even be the reason you quit through sheer lack of progress.

I'm sure you know already that none of this is going to come without practice, preferable daily and lots of motivation to continue learning. Learning things, any new thing, is extremely healthy for your mind. As you start your guitar lessons for beginners I wish you all richest enjoyment possible from the experience. - 16887
