A Lot Of People Are Taking Guitar Lessons These Days

By Eric J. Griffiths


On any given day, a new band is born. Musician move from one band to another as if playing musical chairs at a dance club. Over the years, bands form, bands breakup, and reform. With that kind of instability, a budding musician may be lacking long term opportunities to grow - unless of course, you decide to take the reins in your own musical future. You can learn to shred like guitar superstars Jimi Hendrix, or Metallica through independent study.

Independent study used to be a concept that involved correspondence lessons. Curriculums have since become broader and more diverse, with in class and online study. Musicians can capitalize on these same educational concepts to help your music career.

Obtaining guitar lessons can involve a lot of variables for those in the market to consider. Finding a teacher is just the start. You have to figure out what kind of instructor background is a match. As much as a band is born every day, someone steps into the spotlight to be a guitar teacher. Teachers can be made, some can be born, but not all are capable of turning out guitar musicians.

An instructor may have public performances, but this does not always translate into teaching capabilities. Consider that someone may be teaching because their musical capabilities in the market do not earn them a living. Some may advise students to beware of those who teach by default.

Other issues about in person instruction include those concerning time. Lessons typically are based on half hour and hourly rates. You may find longer sessions, or more frequent sessions are needed. Students who are serious about their careers might find their ambitions are undermined by the costs. Study based on hourly rates can hamper your career goals. Should you need to gain additional practice in certain areas, you might become further discouraged. Remedial training to target weak areas, when the clock is ticking, may become prohibitive as well as drive students to abandon mastering guitar elements.

Unlike real life training, online guitar training options allow students to rewind and revisit study areas. Time spent reviewing and working on problem areas or on areas in which you want to become exceptional, do not sideline further progress until your next lesson. That lesson may be the following week. With online education, your studies do not have to lag behind. You are not paying for remedial training.

When taking lessons, students are advised that practice makes perfect. This is a truism like any other occupation or activity in which you aim to become as good as possible. A self paced learning system can allow students to use the material as much as they need to use it, or as much as they like. There is no need to schedule with an instructor. There is no need to worry about budgeting or billing. There is also no need to worry about inclement weather, which can be a showstopper. You do not have to brave bad weather or expose your gear to rain, snow or extreme heat. You can study in the comfort of your own home. You can avoid cancellations and possible cancellation charges due to weather, or unexpected schedule changes. You can avoid having to accommodate schedule changes by your instructor.

Students can maximize their training strategy by using self-paced training to supplement or replace a real-life personal instructor. Students can design their own training curriculum. Lessons can set up to achieve particular learning objectives. Students can learn from experienced guitarists. Students can master aspects of guitar playing by taking control of your own education. Students can effectively and efficiently bridge the gap between themselves and guitar superstars.
