Is it better to to learn to play acoustic guitar by lessons or self taught?
i’ve been wanting to play guitar, for a while now & i don’t know if i wanna take lessons or if i should just learn on my own. I was thinking about just going to guitar lessons for the basics, and just learn from there. but iam still not sure.
To be honest. I can not think of anything that is best self taught.
I know that many people teach or claim to do without lessons.
All that I have talked to: Tell me they did get help from a friend or would go to other players and ask for help or suggestions.
I decided I could do it with just a book. After all I could already read music and play another instrument.
I got so frustrated after 6 months that I quit. My grandson saw my guitar one day and picked it up and started playing. I ask how he learned?
He had take classes at the community college.
I tried to play something for him, and he immediately pointed out some mistakes that I was making, and after 30 minutes I decided I wanted to play again. He helped me about once a week until the community college started classes again.
We now really enjoy playing alone or together.
I told my story to the 8 in my guitar class. Every one of them had tried on their own, and found out they needed help.
Get some live help.
