Guitar Lessons - First Steps

People all over the internet are looking for guitar lessons. They want to learn guitar. They want to learn how to play guitar. They might even be looking for free guitar lessons. But the bottom line is they are a beginner guitar player and they need some easy guitar lessons.


I’ve been playing for over 21 years and a large portion of that has been as a teacher. Friends and family and people off the street come to me to learn to play the guitar. And I love doing it. After all, I love playing.


But all guitar lessons are NOT created equal. There are some very lame ‘Play the guitar in 7 days’ type of courses out there.


Obviously, I can’t teach the whole world how to play guitar, so what I did was the next best thing. I found the best guitar lessons online, and put them in one place so that you could easily find them. Instead of wasting a lot of time and money on the losers, just look at the online guitar lessons I recommend.


That being said, most beginner guitar players start out with a very important question. This is almost the first question I am asked when someone brings their child to me saying ‘Danny wants to play guitar. What kind of guitar should we buy?’


Now, I gotta be honest. They’re not really ready for the guitar that Danny will eventually want. They probably have no idea that a nice guitar is around $2,000. And I don’t want them to hit the floor because I told them…especially in front of Danny.


So what I tell them is to read this report and then try to buy a decent guitar based on what is in that report, and keep it under $300. If they buy used, that’s real easy to do.


The reasons for that are all laid out in that free report, but one big point is this. If you buy Danny a cheap, Wallyworld special, he won’t have fun playing it. He’ll lose interest and you’ll waste all your money on a dust collector.


On the other hand, don’t go out and spend $1,500 on a nice Taylor because at this point we don’t know if Danny will really take on to guitar playing.


So bottom line, you have to get something that is fun to play, sounds good, and isn’t too expensive. Once Danny finds out that he loves guitar (and he will) maybe in a year you can pick up a Martin D28.
