Learn Guitar Easier And Faster
How to learn the guitar easier and faster
If you really want to learn music well, you will do so much faster with a good guitar teacher. For those of you who want to reach a higher level of guitar playing than where you currently are, this article is for you.
Most of us can think of some good guitar players out there who never had a formal music lesson in their life, and yet they still seem to have done quite well for themselves. Let us explain. These people are anomalies. They are exceptional and not really part of the general public. The truth is, unless you have been playing guitar for years and have an innate ability to absorb everything you hear, taking lessons is a far faster and easier way for you to learn.
Why take the risk of trying to learn on your own when it usually doesn’t work, when you could find a guitar teacher that can make things work for you?
Most people who choose not to work with a guitar teacher either:
- Have significant financial problems (that make paying for guitar lessons impossible).
- Don’t care enough about one’s own musical progress to invest the time and money in himself/herself.
- Just doesn’t understand how much a great guitar teacher can help a student in more ways than one may have realized.
Most people who don’t take guitar lessons fall into the last category. So, it is to these people specifically that this article is written for. Let’s go over the obvious.
Good vs. Bad
Without a good guitar teacher, you may spend hours, days, weeks, months and even years trying to learn things with limited results, when a teacher might be able to show you in as little as a few minutes. Your progress is going to move much more rapidly (and correctly) with a guitar teacher than without one.
A guitar teacher is like a conventional teacher in that, they pass along information, knowledge of music theory, composition, improvisation, chords, scales, the elements of music, etc. It is somewhat true that you can find some of this information on the internet, but you can also find a lot of wrong and incomplete information there as well. But what about performance practice, work ethics of practicing, physical techniques, finger independence, economy of motion and tension control. These are all things that are almost impossible to learn on your own via the internet. A good teacher can help you not only learn them but master them.
A good guitar teacher can spot weaknesses that need improving and bad habits that must be corrected. Many guitar players may be totally unaware of these habits or their very negative effects. More importantly, the guitar players may not know how to correct them. A teacher does!
Whether you want a successful career in music as a guitar player, guitar teacher, songwriter, studio musician, etc. or just want to do it for fun, there is a guitar teacher who can help you reach your goals.
