subject: Learn The Guitar Without Delay [print this page] To be able to play the guitar is awesome! But there are quite a few things to think about, to ensure that you are able to learn in the best possible way. Some of which are how to prevent yourself from being frustrated, what type guitar you are comfortable with and how much time you allot for practice.
You should always think of ways on how to not get frustrated. You might not be happy of your progress at first. Like how Rome was not built in a day, your guitar skills will develop after some amount of time. You will probably sound really bad at first but that is how you learn. Don't get too disappointed on yourself because you might start thinking about quitting and thus you can't improve your skills.
Another thing to think of is what guitar you are comfortable with. A lot of types of guitars exist. Acoustic, electric, nylon stringed, may look the same but are built differently. The nylon has a wider neck which could be tough to hold for newbies. So try all these types to find one that you find fitting for you. Make sure to check the price tags. A piece of advice, start at lower price ranged guitars as you are still starting. Just upgrade once you think you've improved.
Think about how much time you will invest for practice. Didn't they say that practice makes perfect. Practice every day because it will surely meliorate your skills. Give some time for practice every day and if possible make it the same time every single day. As time goes by, this practice wouldn't seem like a practice anymore because you will do this naturally. You'll find yourself having greater urge to practice as you get better. Expect at least to schedule an hour's worth of practice per day to improve.
Lastly, what method you should use to learn. Basically, most people follow some flow of some kind to learn it, like a formal class at your local community college or private lessons. One popular method that's getting a lot of attention lately is online courses. They can be found on modules that both have printed instructions and shot as a video. If you're learning on your own, this is probably the better way to learn the guitar.
