Beginner Guitar Lessons

By Payo W Perry

Lots of competition exists between products in the market of guitar lessons for beginners. As someone just starting out on guitar you may find yourself feeling a little lost especially when it comes to making a decision about which method is going to yield the best results.

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.

Teaching beginners to play guitar and doing it well is a genuine skill. In fact just a minority of decent guitar players can do it. If you find that your lessons are not going well with a local tutor, stop. There are other ways to go.

So what if you can't find a good local tutor or simply cant include a set hourly lesson each week into an already busy lifestyle? I would turn my attention to the internet as there are some high quality websites featuring great guitar lessons for beginners.

Learning at home in front of you PC means that you have freedom do practice at any time convenient and can repeat the lesson modules as often as needed. Should you have any problems most sites will answer your emails quickly.

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 Paying money to learn from a guitar method which is out of date, old fashioned and of poor quality is not going to succeed in teaching you how to play guitar.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.

Whichever way you go, pay attention to your practice and make a firm commitment to being motivated to succeed. Those of you searching for guitar lessons for beginners will find a lot of resources out there just waiting to help you.
