There are a few questions that people ask when they are thinking about learning the guitar. Hopefully, I’m going to answer those questions for you.

The first, and most obvious question is:
How to learn guitar?

There are a number of ways to learn to play guitar.

1)Get a friend or relative to learn you.
This is a good idea just to get someone to show you at least how to hold the guitar and play the strings and hold down the strings at the frets. If you’re just beginning and have not picked up a guitar before, this is a great way to get started and won’t cost anything. Don’t rely on this method by itself though. Just get the very basics and then start to learn yourself from the other methods. You can always let your friend show you some tips and tricks later on when they have time.

2)Purchase a book.
This is alright to show you how to hold and play the guitar, but not as good as someone showing you. It’s not free unless you can acquire a good book from the library. The price of guitar books varies from cheap to expensive, you might be able to find them at charity shops. I find that books are great for learning theory. Depending on what style of guitar you want to learn, you might not need to learn too much theory. The more theory you can learn the better, but you can always do that as you are advancing.

3)Buy a DVD or video.
I’ve never been a big a fan of practicing this method entirely. Sat in front of the television screen or computer monitor watching somebody tell you to position this finger here and that finger there. It’s good for showing you the basics of playing the guitar and some techniques like bends, slides, and hammer ons, etc.

4)Pay a guitar teacher to teach you.
This could be the most costly way to learn to play the guitar. I’ve seen friends and relatives children play songs better than me and I’ve felt pretty stupid. But, that’s all they’re being taught, merely songs. I console myself by saying yes, you can play that song, but how much has it cost your parents. I’ve seen a video of a friends girl performing on stage with other students and she played a popular song perfectly, even the solo. She actually played it better than the original guitar player used to play it live. Only all she was doing was playing notes that she’d learnt parrot fashion. There wasn’t even any emotion or enthusium on her face. If somebody said play that in a different key or improvise and make up your own solo, she probably wouldn’t have been able to. By the way, the guitar lessons have stopped and I don’t think she plays the guitar much now.

5)Lastly, Learn to play guitar on the internet .
This can be free, cheap, or expensive. There’s so much information on learning to play the guitar on the internet, this must be a great source. Once you can hold and play your guitar, or even before, explore the net for free online courses. When you’re ready, there’s a lot of really good low cost and free stuff that will improve your playing. Don’t be fooled into buying high cost courses that you can’t afford or don’t need. Learning to play the guitar off the net has all of the the advantages of the other methods. You can learn as little or as much theory as you want to. You can have someone on the computer screen in front of you showing what to do and how to do it. You can download the information on to your computer and do it in your own time and at your own pace. You can download the guitar tabs to songs you want to learn.

How difficult is it to learn to play the guitar?
It’s not hard at all. It just depends on how much you want to learn it. When I told my brother I wanted to learn the guitar, he was already playing bass guitar in a group, he told me it’s easier to learn to play the piano. It might be but I didn’t want to play the piano. In reality, it’s much easier learning to play the guitar with guitar tabs than it is the piano with standard music notation.

How long does it take to learn how to play guitar?
As much time as you put into it. It’s a process and you will never perfect it, so the time is forever. But to get just enough to know how to play many songs, not that long, just a total of several hours. But if you want to become an artist, write songs, etc. That takes the time and passion. And when you have the passion the time gets away from you.
