We’ve had a reader question come in on the subject of guitar lessons. Let’s take a look:
Question: he is gonna teach me standard notation and fingerpicking and style,
is it likely i wont get discouraged?
is it likely i wont get discouraged?
Answer: Well 25 years of experience doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a great teacher, and even if he is, he’s not necessarily the right teacher for you.
Music can be communicated and explained in a wide variety of ways. Having a teacher that explains things in a way that makes sense to you is important. Teachers will often show you examples of specific concepts in action in real songs, and it’s helpful if they find them in songs you’re familiar with.
It’s important that you enjoy your time with your teacher. If things don’t seem to be clicking with one teacher, try another one. Don’t just keep jumping around though. Teachers can be much more effective when they are familiar with your playing and abilities.
No…why would it?
25 years of experience means that he has been teaching for 25 years…
It means nothing of his lessons.
Anyway you dont need a guitar teacher, its easy to learn by yourself. I did.
No, it just means he has 25 years of experience
