People ask me on a regular basis how I learned to play the guitar. My response is always “Lots of practice and hard work.” See, I took the long road with my guitar instruction when I was a beginner. I sat at home with some tablature I printed out, and started learning to play Counting Crows. I took so long to become proficient. 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. Later on I even had “private lessons” when I took guitar class at my local community college, but it was only 2 hours a week, and you can only get so much guitar instruction from such a short amount of time with an instructor. 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.
