People ask me on a regular basis how I learned to play the guitar. I always respond with “Lots and lots of practice and hardwork.” When I was just starting out with guitar instruction, it was hard work. I sat down at home, printed some tablature, and began learning how to count Crows. It took me soooo long to get good. The problem was that I didn’t have any basic guitar instruction. I was a young man who had no plans in high school and had lots of time. It was okay for me at that time. But I could have learned so much more in weeks than I did over years.
It would have been so helpful if someone could show me how to hold my guitar, tune it, use a proper hammer on, alternate picking patterns, and go through each step. Even though I had “private lessons” later on, I was only able to get as much instruction from an instructor for 2 hours per week when I took a guitar class at my local college. Don’t get me wrong, I really liked the teacher, and his advice and techniques that he taught me were awesome, but always wanted more time for instruction.
