Im not sure if I should carry on having guitar lessons or stop and self-teach myself? The lessons are really expensive and its probably cheaper if I stop and learn by myself… Well there’s loads of guitar learning dvd’s and software that can help you learn? What would you do if you were in this situation? Any tips or good sites that could help me learn and expand my guitar playing capailities.
Here’s a clip of me, Its cut short because of an annoying video convertor..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIarfyhO5hM

dang! you are good!
i think you should stop wasting loads of $$ and self teach
you are good enough!!

Hello everybody
I have bought a guitar for my 8 years old son. This is the first time that he has guitar, so he does not know anything about playing guitar. I am looking for a good lesson for him. specially some good video and software for this aim.
I will appreciate if somebody give me a list for this end.
Thanks

Unless your 8-year old is a very, very rare personality, the worst thing you can do is hand him a book or some sort of audio/video teaching system. He’ll be bored to tears and learn to hate the guitar.

Get him into some group guitar classes for children. The YMCA in my area has a Youth Guitar class for ages 8-12. It’s beautiful, because the kids get to see their peers struggling with the same things they struggle with. That builds a lot of confidence.

Plus, it’s an extra-curricular activity that’s on a schedule; you don’t have to worry about your child being completely self-motivated. Even if he doesn’t routinely practice in between classes, after 8 weeks of weekly lessons, he will be more familiar and comfortable with the instrument.

And, if not, then the guitar just might not be the instrument for him. Cheap and easy way to find out.

Good luck!

I will be getting lessons soon, and have eMedia guitar method. Is this the best software or is there something better? Also I have a drumset, but wont be getting lessons, and it would be cool if somebody could give me some information to get the best software for learning it.

Get Guitar Pro 5 and then check out songs from http://www.ultimate-guitar.com and download the tabs that say Guitar Pro.

So i play guitar and play pretty well. I just would like to learn all the theory behind and hopefully be able to give lessons one day. I don’t want to give lessons though until i know whats going on with what I am doing on the guitar. Any recommendations for good theory software and guitar teaching software?

try this site it is very good, there is much reading on music theory but there is still alot to learn on it.

I’ve been taking guitar lessons for 2 years now, and have gone through 3 teachers, and to my surprise, I haven’t gotten any better at ALL. It’s like I’ve been playing for only a month, and I blame it on the teachers. They were horrible, they didn’t teach me scales and stuff like that, all they taught me were tabbed songs. I quit, and set it off for a couple of months. I want to get back into it, but I want to know the RIGHT WAY, so I’m gonna do it through DVDs and various Computer software. What DVDs and computer software would you recommend that would help me improve and further my knowledge of playing guitar?

Hi Oliver

I gather that you understand the mechanics of the guitar after 2 yrs olf courses.
Here is a very good link to learn chords and the scales that go with each chord, as well as the chord progression.

I suggest to learn each chord and the corresponding scale that goes with it. Learn it in 3 different positions and then, move on to chord progressions.

ok, i have picked up a guitar from ebay and wanted some free tips maybe even an ebook or some kind of guitar teaching software.

Wrong section mate.

I recommend you check out the links in the resource.

And I hope that guitar goes to good use.

Also you can find good tab websites, when you’ve learnt to read tab, this will feel good to be able to play songs after a few day, you’ll like you’ve progressed.

I need a software which can help me improve my speed and technique. Tricks & techniques will be ideal.

If you have Itunes , you will be able to dowlnoad free podcast’s of guitar lessons . You just need to go into the itunes store , go to podcasts and your away.

just got a gibson explorer guitar from a family friend and now i am very interested in learning how to play but, i don’t have a lot of time on my hands for guitar lessons. so i was wondering if anyone knows any computer software that teaches how to play the guitar. price doesn’t matter. if it has video instructions that would be great. thanks
