I can think of few other instruments that allow you to not only play music but also give you the capability to entertain with song. There have been countless famous musicians who have played with nothing more than a microphone and a guitar. There's something about a song with only a guitar behind it that can reach out and grab people's emotions.


I'm sure at one point in time you have wanted to learn how to play the guitar. There is just something about that instrument that if someone can play it they are automatically cool. I know it sounds like a stereotype but can you really tell me I'm wrong? There are countless ways to learn guitar. Below you will find a few that may interest you.

Learning by ear is one way that you may be able to learn the guitar. Some people are just born with natural talent. These are the ones that can pick an instrument for the first time and two weeks later can play every song you have ever heard. If you are able to do this, then I envy you . And so do a lot of other people.

Another way to learn how to play the guitar is through a instructor. Many people like this way, but it can quickly become very expensive. The problem with learning this way is that you are being taught to play the same way your instructor plays. Trust me there are many different theories on how the guitar should be played.

If you are just starting with the electric guitar do a search for "basic guitar lessons". When you're looking at the electric guitar lessons on the internet don't worry if you don't like what you see. When you are browsing the free electric guitar lessons on the internet take note of the kind of information you can get without paying. If you go with free lessons when you first start playing the electric guitar, quite possibly even after some months you will still not be playing a complete song. Free guitar lessons cannot give you the impetus to set up a practice regime for yourself and to systematically learn chords in different positions on the guitar fretboard, practice chord progressions, and then put this knowledge into practice with some of your favorite songs. An electric guitar is not easy to carry around but it's best to take your own guitar to your lessons. Some of the free tab sites on the web also have free lessons.
