Guitar Tip: the best way to learn guitar

Different ways to learn guitar for different people

Many people go to a concert and watch fabulous guitar players mesmerize the audience by strumming their guitar-strings to make great music, which flows effortlessly from the guitar.
These people want to imitate their favorite rockstars and are looking for the best way to learn this. A lot of different methods are available for this and it is not easy to decide which method is the best. Actually, the more methods there are, the more (different) opinions you will get and that makes the choice even more difficult. Probably there are different methods that can be described as the best way, but this depends on the person who wants to learn how to play guitar.

There are people who asume that employing a teacher (usually an expert on the guitar) is the best way. This should be a very experienced and patient person who should know all the required techniques and should also know the best methods to learn guitar so he/she can provide the best instructions. If this teacher has sucesfully teached other people to master the guitar before, this would be a great way of knowing that this teacher is a good one indeed.
Make sure your teacher can provide lessons at appropriate times for your schedule.

Many people believe that the best method is learning by themselves without a teacher and practise. They learn the guitar-basics from instruction(videos) from the internet or from books and this usually saves a lot of money compared to a teacher. The basic techniques can be learned from the videos or books, and they can practice these techniques to perfect their skills learned from these tools.

The best way to learn guitar differs for each person. There are people who will only learn with instructions from a teacher on a regular basis. For other people this (for any reason) may not be the best way to learn guitar. As a guitarplayer I would say that that practice makes perfect and most experts agree on this. You can learn from a teacher, books, video's or internet but practice is the best way to learn guitar.
