How Anyone Can Learn How to Play the Guitar

If you have decided that this is the year that you are going

to learn how to play the guitar, you will be pleased to know

that there are a number of great reasons to get started.

Acoustic guitars can be found at reasonable prices, and are

easy to store. Your guitar can go where you go because it

is easily mobile, so if you have ever imagined yourself by a

campfire with your friends, softly strumming your guitar, or

leading the holiday carols at a Christmas party, now is the

time.

Online Classes

Possibly the biggest challenge in choosing to learn how to

play the guitar, is fitting guitar lessons into an already

hectic schedule. Online guitar courses take the stress out

of scheduling lessons and being away from home for another

hour in the evenings or on weekends. These courses offer

clear, concise, step-by-step guitar instruction, with

lessons you can download, as well as videos of professional

instructors demonstrating each skill. The benefit to you is

a well rounded lesson without leaving your home.

Music vs. Tabs

If you have never read music, the initial skills necessary

to learn this skill will be taught to you as you learn how

to play the guitar. Learning to read music involves a

number of lessons, including written music theory, because

music is a language that applies to all instruments and has

more steps than you may use right away. If you are not

interested in reading music, but just want to be able to

play songs you know on the guitar, you may choose a course

that teaches using guitar tabs. Tabs are written

specifically for guitar players and allow you to play by

reading these diagrams rather than using music.

Time Commitment

Anytime you decide to learn a new skill, you need to be

prepared to commit the time and energy to that task. Even

without a physical teacher to answer to, or perhaps because

you have no physical teacher, it will be up to you to

maintain your motivation. You can get away without viewing

your lessons and without practicing, but the only result

will be that you will not learn to play the guitar.

Enjoy!

The most important part of taking guitar lessons is to have

fun. While the basic skills lessons may be boring, and you

may find yourself frustrated because you are practicing

techniques, scales, and exercises that seem far from your

goal, maintain your motivation with the knowledge that these

are important steps toward your ultimate goal: to learn how

to play the guitar.
