Looking back at my year of playing, I'm pretty shocked about what exactly I've managed to accomplish on my own. But then somtimes I'm not because I know how agressively I like to attack new things and learn all I can about them. And one thing I have to say, is that this website has been really instrumental in my development and overall increase in knowlege about music and guitars. I don't know where I'ed be without the GN articles, reading these forums, and listening to the things people here have to say.

This is honestly the friendliest forum I've ever visited, and it's been a real big help for me and I'm sure many others.

Anyway, as far as teaching, I think it's somthing everyone should try. After a while I'll probably go in for some lessons to see if there's anywhere I can improove upon my self-learning process.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Metaellihead https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-with-all-of-the-ways-to-learn-guitar/#post-78133 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-with-all-of-the-ways-to-learn-guitar/#post-78127 Fri, 03 Dec 2004 02:24:51 +0000

I really can't put my foot on it but there were so many times when I felt I was wasting my money and I could do the same the things on my own.

But, on the other hand a good teacher if nothing else well help organize what you should be practicing and provide you with drills/songs etc that flow in a logical order.

The only real negative I have about learning on my own is that I tend to be all over the place trying a bunch of different things at once, which is not a good thing.

So I guess I would say a teacher will help you focus your playing/practicing.]]> Guitar Players Discussion cnev https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-with-all-of-the-ways-to-learn-guitar/#post-77105 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-with-all-of-the-ways-to-learn-guitar/#post-77093 Wed, 24 Nov 2004 20:32:51 +0000 Never get a teacher!




Kidding, my advice would be to try a teacher for a little while, if you like the experience you may want to stick with it. If not, at least you can compare the costs/benifits of self teaching/ having a teacher and make a more informed decision. In the end it's only up to you.

If you decide to get a teacher remember it's your hard earned money your paying out, so find someone who can teach you what YOU want, in a method YOU are comforatble with.

Take Care.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Narn https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-with-all-of-the-ways-to-learn-guitar/#post-77093 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-with-all-of-the-ways-to-learn-guitar/#post-77088 Wed, 24 Nov 2004 20:18:43 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion hummerlein https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-with-all-of-the-ways-to-learn-guitar/#post-77088 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-with-all-of-the-ways-to-learn-guitar/#post-5128 Wed, 24 Nov 2004 19:34:19 +0000 Is it still something that people on here would recommend or would I be wasting my money???]]> Guitar Players Discussion greenstuart https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-with-all-of-the-ways-to-learn-guitar/#post-5128
