What's the best way to learn to play guitar? There is no right or wrong way that applies to everyone. Of course, the answer depends on your unique situation.
Of course you can take guitar lessons from a private instructor. Most often, this students meet with their instructor for one 30
minute lesson once a week. The cost of each lesson might be in
the range of say $15-30, or $60-120/month. This works out to upwards of $750 a year or more. Sure this may be worth it if your instructor is good, but this is still quite a bit of money to shell out. Another factor is that in-person guitar lessons can be a hassle to get to, and tough to
fit it into your schedule.
If you want to learn to play guitar, a popular alternative to in-person
lessons are home-based guitar instruction courses. These have the benefit of a fairly low upfront cost ($50-250). They also give you the
flexibility to learn at your own pace and according to your schedule.
The
problem with home study learn guitar courses are that the quality
varies a lot. Some are pretty lousy. Others are useful and fairly priced. Ans some are outstanding and represent solid value for
the money spent.
