Learn 2 Play Guitar
I am 13 and i am seeking to learn the guitar. I have seen many online tutorials to learn how to play the guitar. I do not yet have a guitar to learn with, but i think lessons with an instructor are sort’ve expensive where i live, and i don’t want to go wasting my money if the plan i have to learn is too difficult. Are there any special books that are excellent and perhaps easy to learn guitar? Or, does anyone have any good websites that teaches lessons or tutorials for the guitar?
Hey.. James here..
It wasn’t until probably the last six months or so that I’ve been able to play the guitar. I’ve always been very interested since a young age considering my dad and his brothers pretty much grew up on the guitar and drums. It’s always been in the family and when I would watch them play they always made it look so easy.. it seemed like almost a natural thing for them. I tried for years to learn how to play… tried to have my father help me, looked to books to teach me, spent hours on youtube watching people try to explain.. etc. Nothing ever really worked. I eventually gave up for a few years then just within the past year or so I became interested in it again when I would see all these girls just going crazy over musicians at shows/concerts… lol. So I started looking online and came across this website .. http://www.guitar.pcti-system.com … which is an online program with videos and the works that teaches everything you need to know to learn how to play.
It’s probably the best tutorial/instructional course I’ve ever seen… I learned how to play the guitar very quickly and now it seems like I can almost play songs by ear.. something my uncle can do. I’m actually planning on tryin to start up a band with a few friends of mine after I get myself a newer more expensive better quality guitar. But I definitely would have never learned it if it wasn’t for that course.
I hope I was of some help to you my friend, and I wish you the best of luck! Rock on.

No matter what learning method you use — lessons, online tutorials, books, instructional DVDs, or some combination of them — if you expect learning guitar will be "easy" or "quick", then please don’t even bother to try, ‘cos its NOT "easy", at least not if you actually want to be any good at it.
Its been said that the guitar is one of the easiest instruments in the world to play really, really badly — and one of the most difficult to play really, really well.
Of the available learning methods, I would strongly recommend lessons from a live teacher on a regular basis. If you can’t afford weekly lessons, then get a lesson every 2 weeks, or even once a month, and supplement your lessons with online tutorials, books or DVDs. My reasoning is this — online tutorials, or books, or DVD’s, can be very helpful in learning guitar, but you have to be motivated enough, and enough of a self-starter, to actually work by yourself with the tutorials, books or DVD’s on a regular daily basis in a methodical fashion until you’ve actually mastered the lesson you’re working on. Skipping pages in the book or lessons in the tutorial, playing through a lesson once or twice (badly), then getting bored and skipping ahead to the next lesson without having properly learned the previous one(s) is a sure-fire way to NOT learn anything. OTOH, if you work with a teacher, he/she will not allow you to move on to the next lesson or song until you demonstrate to him/her that you can play the current one to his/her satisfaction. You need that to keep you honest, so to speak. Also, knowing you’ve got a guitar lesson coming up next week is a great motivator to practice on a regular basis — you won’t want to look like an idiot in front of your teacher by admitting you haven’t practiced and can’t play the piece they asked you to learn.
Another great thing about having a live teacher is that if you don’t understand something, you can always ask questions and get answers. A good teacher can always find another way to explain something or show you a different way to do something that will work for YOU. OTOH, no matter how good an online tutorial or DVD is, all you can do is keep rewinding and watching the same thing over and over — you can never ask a question or get the material explained to you in a different way.
Get a teacher.
