Beginner Guitar Lessons

By Jenne Mae

Beginner guitar lessons have always been so common, especially because the instrument has had a lot of popularity for the last decades. Aspiring guitar players nowadays have several ways to learn strumming, plucking, fretting and all the other techniques of playing the guitar. Here are some of the modern methods through which you could find your first guitar lessons.

Books Published and printed guitar lessons for beginners have been available for a long while, and you've probably seen at least some of the older ones with diagrams and drawings. The modern version has all that, plus a couple of extras.

Besides from the normal diagrams and instructions, many of the guitar lesson books now a dys also come a long with music on CD's. While learning the techniques, you could play along to the samples and lessons on the CD's to check if you're doing everything properly.

The Internet Similarly, the internet is also a fantastic place to discover beginner guitar lessons. Online, you'll be able to find the kind of drawings and diagrams that you're bound to see in the books. Many websites now also offer the audio lessons similar to what the CD's carried. But the websites usually go a little further.

Rather than just photos and diagrams, many of the guitar learning lessons you will discover on the web are now also in video. That is, you'll have someone demonstrating the proper handling and technique for you, all while you're able to hear what's being played and how it's being done. It's a great approach to teaching the guitar basics in a method that's free more often than not.

A Teacher Plenty of experienced guitarists will say that, no matter how far technology has gone, sessions with a real live teacher just can't be beat. Guitar lessons - for beginners, most especially - have a different depth, they say, when you're being taught directly by another person.

You have got to admit that there is a benefit to a person who could literally guide you as you figure out your way around a guitar. A teacher can position your hands on the fret board for you, adjust your stance as you hold your guitar or notice your little errors while strumming and then put it right. Books and online tutorials can do none of these things.

There's no 'right' or 'best' way to pick up guitar lessons for beginners. You just have to choose the method that's most convenient for you, or at least the one where you think you'll learn the most.
