Guitar Playing Instructions

The first thing that you should look for when looking for guitar playing instructions is correct instructions. With the age of the internet, there is just so much bad information out there. I have basically spent hours looking through lots of websites dedicated to guitar before I decided to create this one.

Why did I create this site of guitar playing instructions? Well for starters, after spending so much time looking for good instruction, I have found a lot of fluff and nonsense. It seems that everyone wants to play expert on guitar when writing about what you should or shouldn’t do, but really the information they are telling you is absolutely wrong!

So what is a beginner who is looking for good guitar tutorials to do? Well for starters, don’t believe everything you read on the internet. Really, the only way to be absolutely sure that you are getting good information and instruction is to pay a professional for it. I know this is the internet and information should be free and all that other jazz.

However, people who are actually worth listening to are professionals, have at least an education in music or at least many years experience playing the instrument. People like that most of the time are used to being paid for their time because they are a professional or at least have school loans from their old Music degree. I mean everyone wants a free lunch, but if I have thousands of dollars in student loans I’m not just going to teach the entire world for free what I paid for. Though it is possible that you can find good free information on the internet about playing guitar.

I’m not trying to say everyone is about money or anything. I just want to make it clear that when looking for guitar playing instructions online, you are going to find 99.9% of it to be utter complete garbage. There is some good instruction, but the majority will actually instill bad habits in your playing. So if you really want to find some good guitar tutorials, go buy a magazine, book, video or find a local private tutor giving guitar lessons.

However make sure that you are buying these magazines, books and videos from a major legit publisher and check the credentials of the local guitar teacher first!! Just because you find lessons offline doesn’t mean its good either. No matter where you are looking for the tutorials, make sure the source is legit! If you don’t, you might as well just try to learn without any source at all as many sources may not have much more experience than you.
