Learn to Play Guitar with Style

By Payo W Perry

Learning to play guitar correctly is challenging even with great instruction. If you're just starting out no doubt you'll already have a burning desire to produce some kind of music from your guitar no matter what it is!

Often beginners will try to teach themselves only to end up frustrated and while it's true that there are many types of guitar lessons available today, which ones are correct for you?

Begin by looking at the kinds of things you'd eventually like to be playing. What style of music is it? What we're looking for here is a general compass point which is going to provide direction for future guitar lessons. If it's Jazz or Classical guitar for example then 1-1 lessons are advised.

This is due to the fact that your mastery of correct technique is very important for those styles of music. In other genres technique is not of such consequence and you can enjoy much more freedom to forge your own path. Such examples would be in Blues and Rock where students learn to play guitar free of structured exams or grades.

Lessons for guitar should be effective in communicating to you every aspect of what you're required to do. Not everyone can teach correctly, it's a skill to teach well and you will need to do your best to find good quality tuition.

Using the web to learn from home is a wonderful option and there are a few fantastic websites offering very cost effective solutions to learn guitar. You'll need to be self motivated and have a strong desire to play, this may be a problem for some but generally learning guitar online is excellent.

Even with the best lessons, the most expensive guitar, a great load of talent and time, you'll still get absolutely no where without a lot of plain old fashioned practice. How you practice is extremely important and in fact could be an article all on its own.

There really isn't any one and only correct method to learn how to play guitar and that's probably one of the best things about it; the guitar represents a musical freedom in every sense.
