Learning The Guitar : Finding The Real Milestone
Lots of people give up playing guitar soon after starting because they don't enjoy being worse than amateur and think it's too much like hard work to get any better. However, it's not usually anything to do with 'you' because it's rare to find someone that would never be able to play guitar properly. It's down to how much your guitar lessons are on your wavelength and make you want to do it. I wouldn't like to learn rock guitar from a geek that probably liked every band I hated, it just wouldn't inspire me. I'd want to learn from a rock guitarist so I could learn to emulate him. If your books or your online guitar lessons are too boring, too technical or just failing to the get results you know you can achieve, you begin to think you can't do it, but you can. In other words, if you like the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl was sending you online guitar lessons personally, you'd probably learn how to play the guitar in record speed.
It's tempting to be put off by what you don't yet know or can't do. I've played the guitar for 25 years and I still don't know everything, but this doesn't stop you from joining bands and everyone around you being a little bit jealous they can't grab an electric guitar and do what you can do.
Don't get caught up with thinking 'How long does it take to learn to play the guitar' if you're not enjoying your lessons because that can lead onto impatience and quitting. It's much better to find someone cool to learn from, that way, you'll enjoy the progress and then one day you'll realize:
...hey, I'm actually getting quite good at this...
That's the real guitar lesson milestone.
If you need to hear great noises coming from your guitar and don't want to wait any longer, don't spread yourself thinly over a load of different resources. You be much better treating something like a guitar crash course and absolutely nailing every section of it.
People that go back to the drawing board when things aren't going well usually overtake themselves in no time and that momentum just carries on. Most people don't do this and get information overload, suffer a guitar meltdown and end up mastering nothing, soon to be overtaken by absolute beginners.
Get in the mood for going to rock school, enjoy it and there might be a surprise for you along the way, visit http://www.GuitarCrash.info
