It was a couple of months ago I decided I wanted to learn how to play the guitar. I’d had an older acoustic around the house for the past couple of years and had never touched it but it was always in the back of my mind to learn.
When I finally got the urge up to give it a try I decided I wanted to learn from home using videos some how rather then sign up for private lessons. While I had read that taking private lessons was the better way to go I just didn’t have the extra time to commit an hour every week to attend a lesson.
I opted for a dvd home study course I found online on another blog about guitar. The blog had reviewed learn and master guitar, a 20 dvd home study course that teaches you how to play from scratch all at home. What really caught my eye about it was that they offered online support after purchasing the product. I could actually ask questions about the guitar online, how much closer could I get to a personal lesson then that. Videos of the instructor at home and access to him online for questions.
It’s been a couple of months now since I started using the product. While I don’t have anything to go on it seems to be easy to follow and I’ve gone from not knowing how to hold or tune my guitar to strumming basic chords and reading music.
There are some points that it just seems things are taking a long time to learn but I keep telling myself that even the guitar greats had to start some where.
