FAQ: What Will I Learn?

Q: What exactly will your website teach me about the guitar?
A: The Internet can be a great place for people who want to learn guitar, but it can also be a stumbling block. There are many different guitar websites out there and the amount of information can be overwhelming and even discouraging.
When you're not receiving guitar tuition from a live instructor, it's very important to follow a structured lessons plan, otherwise you end up knowing a little bit about a lot of different guitar topics. This means that at the end of the day you're usually unable to actually play anything...
This is usually the case with people who start learning by trying to master a difficult guitar solo - yes of course it's cool and impressive when you can solo, but that's not the place where you start learning... No, follow a structured lesson plan that starts with the basics and moves up from there. In order to develop proper technique and finger strength, I believe it's ideal to start with the basic guitar chords, then move on to scales and techniques.
