By effectively keeping up with your practice on your picking and strumming techniques and by spending the time working on learning the basic chords and scales, you should be able to play your first song in very little time.
We will begin with the fundamentals and the basics during your first guitar lesson. It doesn’t matter what kind of music you want to end up learning. This way, you can practice it and master the fundamentals before proceeding.
JIMI HENDRIX OR ED SHEERAN
During your very first lesson, we will begin by asking you about the specific type of guitar player you can see yourself being. The best way to figure this would is to think about what made you want to learn how to play the guitar initially. Was it listening to AC/DC’s Back in Black while strumming an air guitar in your bedroom? Was it listening to Ed Sheeran’s newest hit single? Or was it watching videos on YouTube of Tash Sultana? Maybe it was even when you were out camping with your family singing camp songs? Figure out what your inspiration is and discuss it with your instructor. They should be able to help guide you to figure out how to reach your ultimate playing goals.
DO YOU WANT LESSONS IN ELECTRIC GUITAR OR ACOUSTIC GUITAR?
One of the questions that a lot of people end up asking during their first lesson is “what kind of guitar do I actually need?” Luckily, the answer is really “whatever you have.” It doesn’t matter what guitar you practice on. You are going to be able to practice the fundamentals of guitar on any guitar with strings. Don’t let finding the right guitar get in your way of learning.
Is it possible to learn online? Yes, it is completely possible. The very best way to learn guitar while online is through a structured online course. Justin Guitar and Guitar Tricks are easily the best courses you can choose from. YouTube isn’t the best option for someone with limited knowledge because the path is much more open and unstructured.
Now, we will be going over some of the common questions that are regularly asked about learning guitar online.
Why Is It Possible To Learn Online?
It’s entirely possible to learn guitar online. The reason is that there are all kinds of highly trained and qualified teachers that have crafted online courses perfectly structured for and conducive to learning online.
Can I Learn It On My Own?
The truth is, you can indeed learn how to play the guitar on your own. You can think about learning how to play the guitar on your own as learning online with a pre-defined structure then you can absolutely do it yourself. It is a relatively simple process as you will only have to follow the path that has been presented to you. From there, you can do all of the rest on your own as long as you apply yourself.
This is why it really comes down to figuring out how much you want it. If you are willing and able to dedicate around 3 to 4 hours every week, you will be able to make it a habit and begin experiencing excellent progress because of it. If you are not someone who can follow a routine practice structure or you are looking to combine two different activities like watching TV while you are practising, you will not get the results you are seeking. Thus, you really will get out of it what you are willing and able to put in.
How Long Will Learning How To Play The Guitar Take?
The answer to this is sort of complex. After all, the answer will be predicated on what you deem to be your end goal. Are you looking to be able to strum along with a couple of songs around a campfire or are you looking to perform in front of hundreds of people? No matter what your ultimate ambitions are, you need to begin with a basic course in order to learn the fundamentals.
