Thanks for watching: The Best Way To Learn Guitar – Guitar Learning Methods Evaluated. I hope you found this discussion helpful. Please read the article to this video which you can find here: http://guitaringenuity.com/the-best-way-to-learn-guitar-guitar-learning-methods-evaluated/ As I mentioned in the video, let me first of all congratulate you on your decision to pick up the guitar and learn the instrument. If you stick with it, you will have a hobby and passion for the rest of your life. Now, I just used the term “if you stick with it”. I did that for a good reason, but certainly not to discourage you. The fact is, most guitar starters throw in the towel after a little while. I can’t completely prevent that from happening to you – however, what I can do is trying to explain to you the pros and cons of the best ways to learn guitar from my perspective. In the video, we talked about the different ways to learn the instrument. In this day and age, with a lot of things being offered via the WEB, you have even more available at your disposal. But to be clear, more doesn’t always mean better. The best method to learn guitar for one person might not be the working for another one. We are all different and therefore it’s important that you get a few questions answered first, before we can figure out what makes most sense to you. Think back in your life and try to remember one skill that you had to learn from scratch. It could be anything. Learning to drive a car, learning to knit, or learning a new language. How did that go and how did you feel while going through the learning process? Did you enjoy it or was it a hassle? Did you learn under supervision, maybe with a teacher, or did you follow the DIY approach? These questions are helpful as you try to find YOUR best way to learn the guitar. The fact is, some need to have supervision and a certain level of scrutiny. To others, though, having someone checking in on your learning progress causes them stress and can be counterproductive. They prefer to do things at their own pace. With that being said, in my personal opinion, following the DIY method is based on what I’ve seen as a guitar teacher not necessarily the best way to learn to play the guitar. Because most of us need at the very least a minimum amount of guidance and structured approach in order to learn a new skill effectively. Ultimately, it will likely come down between working with a teacher or doing something online. Hiring a teacher and getting individual face to face lessons is in my opinion still the most efficient way to learn the instrument. However, it is also the by far most costly option. So, ultimately, you’re looking at a trade off. Online guitar programs can be a great alternative. But be aware of scams and offers that are just too good to be true. We talked about this in the video. The best way to learn guitar chords, strumming patterns and all other basics is probably to find a good online guitar course. It’s cost efficient AND you still can follow a methodical approach (rather than trying to figure everything out for yourself). Anyway, I hope all this is helpful. Again, please read the article on: The Best Way To Learn Guitar – Guitar Learning Methods Evaluated. There’s a lot of good information and some tools that will help you navigating through the decision making process. Thanks for watching.
