My Story About How I Learn To Play Guitar Online

I've posted my story about how I learn to play guitar online before, but I not in as much detail as I have at my regular site.

I remember being so frustrated that I wanted to throw my guitar (an old school Fender Bullet) out the window. I was so impatient and just wanted to sound like my idol (Stevie Ray Vaughn) as soon as possible. I couldn't stand it that when I played I sounded like somebody was drowning a cat.

After much hair pulling and giving up, only to go back and practice again after a few days, I came to a few realizations. My realizations were:

1. Nobody learns to play guitar over night, but could I learn just a few songs and maybe even learn to jam with my friends in one month?
2. I remember reading somewhere that Eddie Van Halen used to play his guitar (when he was first learning) until his fingers bled. I knew I wasn't practicing that much. Why was I complaining?
3. I needed to find a teacher or some kind of program that I could follow so that I would know what to practice each day and so that I could progress faster than normal. At the time I was just buying tab books and trying to learn on my own. Note: This is like walking into a dark room and falling over things. :)
4. I was impatient and if I wanted to learn how to play guitar, I was just going to have to suck it up and take my time.

Those were my realizations that night and it really turned things around for me. I'll post the other half of my story tomorrow. For now though, think about what I've said, I know you want to play like a god during your first month or so, but be realistic and things will turn around for you.

Beginner Guitar Lessons Online

The best beginner guitar lessons online can be found in many places, but not all are created equal. Since there are many levels even to beginer guitar lessons, some may not be the best fit for you. This is why we recommend following a set program or course, rather than just finding lessons here and there. Here's why - When you are just beginning your path of learning guitar, you don't know what you don't know (does that make sense!?!). By finding lessons just here and there you'll probably miss a few critical points because you're not following the same teacher and following a specific course path. After awhile your guitar knowlede will start to resemble a peice of swiss cheese (holes in your knowledge) if you're not following a specifc course set fourth by your instructor.
