Learning Guitar

These guitar lessons are arranged with the absolute beginner in mind. Each lesson builds upon the things you learn in the previous lesson. To get the most benefit, I would suggest that you start with lesson one and proceed to the next only when you have the previous lesson thoroughly learned. If you already have some guitar playing experience, You may want to scan the first few lessons to determine where you are best suited to start.
<center>
Each lesson is divided into four parts:

*Theory
*Technique - Left hand
*Technique - Right hand
*Music

Guitar Lesson 1 - Theory

Guitar Lesson 1 - Technique Left Hand Hand

Guitar Lesson 1 - Technique Right Hand

Guitar Lesson 1 - Music

Now Your Finished Go On To Lesson 2

Guitar Lesson 2 - Theory

Guitar Lesson 2 - Technique Left Hand

Guitar Lesson 2 - Tehnique Right Hand

Guitar Lesson 2 - Music

Now On To Lesson 3

Guitar Lesson 3 - Theory

Guitar Lesson 3 - Technique Left Hand

Guitar Lesson 3 Technique Right Hand

Guitar Lesson 3 - Music

Now On To Lesson 4

This lesson is divided into six parts:

*Tuning
*Theory Part I
*Theory Part II
*Technique - Left hand
*Technique - Right hand
*Music


Guitar Lesson 4 - Tuning

Gutiar Lesson 4 - Theory Part 1

Guitar Lesson 4 - Theory Part 2

Guitar Lesson 4 - Technique Left Hand

Guitar Lesson 4 - Technique Right Hand

Guitar Lesson 4 - Music



Keep in mind that the only secret to great guitar playing is a little knowledge and LOTS OF PRACTICE!!

OK, in that case i'll post my question from my thread here. Feel free to delete the other topic.

Quote:Hey guys,

I've never really played guitar in my life but gilmour has really inspired me to take it up. I really, really want to start with electric rather than acoustic but I don't know what kind I should buy. I don't want to spend too much money but I also want something decent.

Also, should I take lessons at my local music store? Is it worth it?

Thanks!

I have recently started learning guitar. I have started with acoustic and am I glad I did. Lessons are probably the best way to go, but you also need to practice on your own time. I never liked teachers, so I'm learning on my own.

As far as lessons go, I think it depends on where you want to go with your guitar playing. If you just wanna learn how to play Floyd songs and other stuff, then you should take lessons definitely! But if your more about creating your own stuff and you wanna be original, I would'nt go near lessons! Maybe, just take one or two lessons and learn the very basics about the guitar but then start teaching yourself. Study and practice what you like. Learn the basic blues techniques! Get a chord book and a scale book and just play around with stuff.

Another good way to learn is to practice with someone who is also just starting to play, find some lessons and go over stuff with them and you will be surprised how much you can get done. You feed off of eachother and learn things a lot quicker. I never took lessons, but a good friend of mine and I started playing at the same time and we would just get books and stuff and go over them together. Another good friend of ours was a drummer and we would just jam for hours, you'd be amazed at how much you can learn just by jamming and fooling around!

yeah if you really wanted lessons just take them for the basics and after that just try to find your own style.
i started taking lessons 2 years ago and i learnt all the basics but now all we do in lessons is just jam out songs together.
my parents dont know that hehe. but its fun to sit with him and jam out songs he dosnt teach me anymore really much.
