So You Want To Learn To Play Acoustic Guitar?
In this article Im going to look at the main requirements those of you wanting to learn to play acoustic guitar should be considering. I hope that the guidelines contained in this article will help you avoid some of the common frustrations which plague beginners and lead many to giving up.
Firstly its important to find good quality instruction. You can try to teach yourself, as I did in the beginning, but there will almost always be gaps in your knowledge which will frustrate you in the future as a result.
My best recommendation is to find a good local tutor although this is not always possible. Failing that there are some great online sites to learn to play acoustic guitar but choose wisely and be sure to try out their sample lessons first. You need to make sure that the pace and which they teach, the style and level of the lessons are suitable for you.
The ideal situation is to have a combination where you learn from a variety of different sources simultaneously. For example, 1-1 lessons with a real tutor plus online guitar lessons or books and DVDs. Youll need to be self motivated and committed to daily practice which not everyone is (!) but assuming some kind of inspiration is driving you to learn acoustic guitar everything should be fine!
It generally doesnt take too long to get chords and strumming down to a point where you could play along to popular songs. As with most musical instruments though, the sky is the limit regarding how far you can progress. Its a personal decision and will depend largely on your musical ambitions.
Aside from quality guitar lessons the most important will be in knowing how to practice correctly. Practicing is a technique you have to learn! Learning how to practice correctly will shorten the time to takes you to learn to play acoustic guitar enormously, it may even mean the difference between success and failure. - 18780
