Starting Out With The Guitar

So, finally you have decided and you are determined to play the guitar! But of course you need to learn it before you can play, rite? And it can seem very unapproachable in the starting. You might end up just staring at the guitar wondering how in the world is it played or maybe you are planning to buy your first guitar but don't know which one to buy. Well, its time now to stop panicking and carry out your wish of becoming a guitarist!

"Where should I start?" - this should be the question on your mind right now. Well, first of all you need a guitar to get started. I am sure you have one, but just in case you don't, consider buying one. At this point you should consider buying a good acoustic guitar which is best for beginners rather than going for a electric guitar straight. Also I would recommend you to have an electric tuner and a metronome which are essential and must have tools you will need.
Now, that you have your instrument, its time to strum your first chord or play your first. But are you considering hiring a private teacher for lessons? Well sure you can, but frankly that can get really get hard on you wallet and you might end up quitting these private classes. Well most people consider learning themselves. So if you too are willing to learn on your own, you are going to be needing a resource from where you can get all your lessons. There are tons of website dedicated to provide you quality video lessons for free or for a small fee. Definitely the paid lessons are better, but free ones are equally good, you just need to know where to find them.

Online learning these days is becoming a trend after all. One can watch videos, read information, track their progress through guitar learning software and so much more. This is why popularity of online learning is increasing exponentially.

But you should be aware of the fact that there is no shortcut to practice but practice does make you perfect. "The more you practice, the better you get" - its as simple as that. I know it can be tough in the beginning and you might not see any improvement and progress in your playing, but tenacity is the key here. You will yourself realize in the end that practicing was worth it.
So there is no reason in heaven why you shouldn't start today! Take action today and start your journey as a guitarist. All The Best!
