Beginning Guitar Lessons: What You Need

By Genevieve Edmondson

Thanks to a vast array of accessible learning resources the guitar is one of the easiest instruments to learn to play. Looking for portable music? The acoustic guitar doesn't need to be plugged into an amplifier, you can bring it anywhere and make music!

Acoustic guitars are very portable, mobile and convenient to learn lessons as they don't required plug in an amplifier for sound.

There are three basic approaches to learn to play the guitar. One, you can teach yourself using free online resources such as chord sheets, lessons and videos. Two, you can ask friends or family members to teach you. Third, you can take formal lessons from a professional teacher either one on one or in a group setting.

These are all valid approaches, but before you begin any beginning guitar lesson ask yourself why you want to learn. Do you want to be in a band? Do you want to emulate a guitar player you know? Do you just love learning new skills? Your answer is your own, but be honest: your reasons will reflect how much commitment you will have later on in the learning process.

The first requisite for learning to play guitar is that you buy one. Borrowing a guitar from a friend or your brother allows you very limited time of practice. Besides, having your own guitar allows you the ease of getting accustomed to only one guitar which is a necessity for a new learner. It is also necessary to ascertain your degree of serious intent. You should know how much time you can devote for guitar practicing.

In order to really learn to play, it will require ongoing commitment: you can't give up because your fingers hurt. And they will, but if you begin with motivation, you'll be able to go back to that every time you feel like giving up. - 18762
