“I’ve always wanted to learn how to play the guitar and now I finally have a chance. But what’s the best way to learn guitar?”
In my 20 years as a guitar teacher, I’ve heard this question hundreds of times. And in the course of teaching over 500 students and crossing paths with hundreds more, there’s just one thing that I really see making a difference between good guitarists and those who get stuck and can’t improve any further: Guidance.
As great as YouTube guitar lessons videos and website articles can be, your guitar education will be missing some vital elements if you don’t have someone to guide you through. Why?
1. Music is a cumulative subject. Each new concept and idea builds on the one before it. If you don’t know the right order to learn things in, it’s like trying to learn Calculus before you know basic Arithmetic.
2. You need an extra pair of eyes to catch mistakes and help make your learning process faster and easier. I’ve had people come to me after having played for 20 years and gotten stuck. With five minutes and a couple easy tweaks to their technique, their world is opened up with the guitar being easier than it’s ever been. Too bad they wasted those 20 years working too hard!
It’s hard to catch your own mistakes when you’re trying to just deal with playing the instrument. It’s why professional recording artists use producers when they record. And it’s why smart guitar students find a solid source for learning as early as possible.
Now, I understand that maybe you can’t afford private lessons ($2000/yr!) or maybe there just isn’t a decent guitar teacher in your area. Someone who not only knows how to play, but also knows how to teach. Just as important!
How do you get great teachers, top notch learning materials, and a simple and easy presentation of ideas? How do you work it out so you can do it on your schedule?
Well, you can get DVDs. But they tend to be too specialized and you don’t get any feedback on your playing. And some of the learning software on the net is sketchy at best.
But fear not! I wouldn’t be writing this if I didn’t have a solution for you. 🙂
My recommendation… Less Is More Guitar. And specifically, the 30-Day Guitar Challenge to get you started on the right foot.
First off, it’s not about talent or natural ability. It’s about SCIENCE. Using proven advanced fine motor programming techniques, these lessons help you implant your new guitar knowledge deep in your mind and your muscles to call up the notes you want, when you need them, every time.
