Thoughts On Choosing Guitar Lessons
So you want to learn to play guitar? Guitar lessons, in one form or another, are an absolute necessity. Experienced players also rely on guitar lessons to acquire new skills and knowledge. The Internet has brought a major revolution in guitar instruction methods and availability resulting in an overwhelming degree of information. On-line guitar lessons have the advantage & convienence of bringing the lessons to the student rather than the student going to the lessons. PC software has brought interactive video lessons where the student can control the pace of learning.
Do you prefer Acoustic or Electric guitar? Another consideration is what kind of music are you interested in - Folk, Classic Rock, Heavy Metal, Punk, Country, Blues, Jazz? How old you are can make a difference in your choice - there are lessons specially designed for the "Boomers" featuring music from that generation rather than what appeals to the younger crowd. Are you a beginner, intermediate, or already advanced; there are guitar lessons specifically designed for each of these categories. What is your goal? Do you want to play acoustic guitar around the campfire, or do you want to see your name posted on the music stadium billboards? As Master Po has said, "Choose wisely."
Good luck to you in your musical quest - Bob Beal
