The Guitar is for You

Published on: April 14, 2021 | Author: Philadelphia Guitar Lessons Team

Why the guitar is the best instrument to learn

guitar-lessons-the-basics

The guitar is one of the most popular and widely used instrument.  It is popular because it’s portable, flexible, and approachable.  The guitar’s popularity makes it an obvious choice for many who wish to learn an instrument.  And due to its popularity, there are many materials available to learn with.

Reasons for the guitar’s popularity

Portable

As far as portability goes, you can’t beat the guitar.  The acoustic guitar requires no amplification or electronics.  It’s lightweight and can fit easily in the trunk of a car or overhead bin of an airplane.  After transport, it requires little maintenance or assembly.  Just tune it and you’re ready to go!

Flexible

The guitar is a flexible instrument, whose tone is suitable for most styles of music.  The guitar plays a central role in popular music, rock, Latin, funk, jazz and so much more.

Polyphonic

The guitar is a polyphonic instrument, meaning that it is capable of playing more than one tone at a time.  This means that it can be used to play harmonies.  The only other popular instrument that excels at this is the piano.  And of the two, the guitar is easier to transport and usually much cheaper to buy.

Wide range

The guitar’s range spans nearly 4 octaves, compared to about 7 on the piano.  This range is particularly wide given the guitar’s smaller form factor.  It can produce notes from the higher register of the bass range and on up.  Add a few extra low strings and the range gets closer to that of the piano.

Approachable

The guitar can be considered approachable because it is relatively easy to learn to play the first note, scale, or chord.  The frets of the guitar provide a clear division between notes.  In fact, one does not even need to know precisely where those points of division are.

Popular

The guitar is popular because it is used in so much music.  When music learners want to start playing their favorite songs, they often find that the guitar is the best place to start because it appears so often in popular music.

Many who set out to learn the guitar find their progress hits a snag after they learn the first few chords.  To continue to reach for higher levels as a musician, you’ll want to find a guitar teacher who can help you achieve your goals.  This is a huge difference between learning a few chords and mastering the guitar.  When you work with a teacher who will help you achieve your goals, you find that learning is not only easier, with the right teacher, you will focus on the genre of music that suits you, thus making it much more fun and desirable to learn.

In Philadelphia, that perfect guitar teacher is David Joel.  David can help you achieve your goals because he believes in working one on one with his students, allowing him to design lessons around you and allowing you to play freely without judgment from other students.
