What Is The Best Way To Learn Guitar?

This is a very common question - and a good one! Many try at guitar and many fail. Why? Mainly because of the wrong approach.

When it comes to learning guitar most people have quite unrealistic expectations. For some odd reason they are convinced that it's going to be easy. Well, I've got news for you - guitar is NOT easy. Never was and never will be. If anyone tells you differently, they are misguiding you.

I'm not trying to discourage anyone here, I'm just trying to convey the importance of the right attitude. If you're looking for shortcuts, you'll find frustration. If you expect quick results with little effort, you'll get discouraged. These are just the facts of life.

Okay, sorry about that. It's just that I've seen so many people fail at guitar, not because they were not talented enough, but simply because they went about it the wrong way. There is certainly a right way and a wrong way to learn guitar. If you choose the right way, you're already halfway there.

With that out of the way, let's talk about the best way to learn guitar. First, you need to realize that learning guitar is a step by step process and that you will need good step by step instructions. Second, you will have to be committed. Without regular practice you won't come very far. And third, you must attain the right mindset - proper motivation and realistic expectations will keep you going into the right direction.

So here is what it takes to learn guitar:

1. Good instructions
2. Commitment
3. The right mindset

If you're able to meet these three key requirements, you can expect great results in a very reasonable amount of time. Not overnight, of course, but soon enough.

The main problem that most beginners face next is finding good and consistent instructions. The Internet sure is a great place to find information, but what you need is a well-structured learning plan that will guide you from start to finish, not just some advice here and there.

If you want my recommendation, here it is - "Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar". This is a topnotch, award-winning guitar course that will provide you with everything you need and more. If you stick to it, you'll have to work very hard not to succeed. In my opinion, this IS the best way to learn guitar.
