Philadelphia Guitar Lessons: Are Guitar Lessons for Me?

Published on: June 1, 2016 | Author: Philadelphia Guitar Lessons Team

Do I need guitar lessons?

A general rule of thumb for anyone wanting to pick up the guitar, whether for the very first time or to relearn, is that lessons are always a good idea. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t educate yourself through books, video and online. But along with all of that, especially in the beginning, you should seek out a teacher.   If you have no previous experience with music, then this is imperative.

If you decide to teach yourself, and it is coming along well, then lessons will only increase your progress. You will find, by teaching yourself, that you can play lots of songs and teach yourself to read notes from a method book. But, without the guidance of someone else, someone with experience, you most likely will not progress. This is because a teacher, a good teacher, will know the correct route to take with you. They will know which areas you need to improve upon and those you have an understanding of.   Those wrong steps you may be taking can be corrected by someone who has two things you don’t: knowledge and experience.

There are many people who think learning guitar on their own will advance them to master stage in no time at all. What you lack with this attitude is what was mentioned above: knowledge and experience. You have neither if you are a beginner or are picking the guitar up after many years of stagnation. Playing the guitar is a very sophisticated mental and physical process. Why would it ever be a bad idea to learn a very complicated subject from someone who knows a whole lot more than you do and has years of experience with the subject? You should always begin a journey to an unknown place with help from a guide, someone who has traveled the route many times. It just makes sense.

The job of a guitar teacher is to present new material to the student and to make sure the student is actually learning it. They will be someone who is both a player and a teacher and understands the concept of hard work, discipline and dedication to accomplish the art of learning guitar. These are important things to look for when deciding which guitar teacher to choice.
