Typing Lesson

I’m going to my first guitar lesson today! I was just wondering is there was anything I should know. I already know most major chords and one minor chord,and my fingers have toughened up(laugh). So should I just go with the flow or say anything that should be said? Thanks for your advice,

you don’t need to know anything. your teacher will assume you don’t know much. i take semi-private lessons with an instructor in her home and i think that lessons are well worth it. your teacher will be able to give you much more advice than you could ever give yourself.

I’m having my first guitar lesson tomorrow - it’s 40 minutes long.
Just wondering what they will teach me in my first lesson, second, third and so on.

Thanks.

You never know. Many teachers have different approaches.

Hopefully your teacher will teach you all of the parts of the guitar, correct posture, how to hold a pic, how to tune, etc.

From there teachers either go into standard notation (reading music), TABs, or chords. If they go into reading music, you’re in for a very long year without much progress. If they go into TABs, that’s better. You’ll learn things more quickly, but you’ll only learn a limited number of things if they only stay with TABs. If you start learning chords, you’ll be able to strum through songs the quickest.

I personally like to hit the basics and jump into chords as soon as I can with a student so that they can start playing though songs as quickly as possible. I use my whole method at my site: http://guitarmann.com

iv been tryin to find a decent website to learn guitar. and im wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction to sites that talk the basics of guitar and all that good stuff.

Hello there,

Here is a link to a video lesson at Youtube. This guy has a series of 12 lessons. You can find the other lessons in the related videos section. He covers the basics very well. He uses an electric guitar, but the material translates to the acoustic very well.

Here is a link to an article about how to read tabs.

More information is needed here. What is it you are looking to learn? Are you a total beginner that doesn’t know how to play at all? Are you already playing and looking to expand? Without knowing this, there isn’t really anyway to help you. You need to give us some background about your goals and your current level and what it is you are looking to learn. Also, is there a particular reason you are limiting yourself to online only?

My advice given what little I have to go on is try Youtube.com. There are all kinds of lessons on there.

I love country music and would like to learn to play only a little country music on the guitar.

There is a site that specializes in giving advice and good information for beginners like you.
Visit http://CountryGuitarLesson.net and see what is available and reviews of the best country guitar lessons offers.

Should I go to my first guitar lesson with a guitar, or should ask them what guitar to get?

You should show up with a guitar. Try calling your instructor for advice before your lesson and get some tips. Also when you go to a music shop the people who work there are usually pretty knowledgeable and can help you get fitted with the right one for you. There’s lots of options so it’s important to ask lots of questions just like you’re doing now!

good luck with your first lesson!

I know how to play but I just have a hard time keeping myself motivated because I don’t know what to learn next.

I would recommend www.guitarnoise.com. Great songs and great lessons with audio. David Hodge is one of the best instructors.
