FAQs on Guitar Lessons for Beginners
1. Should I buy a pick and a slide?
If you´ve just started to take guitar lessons and are wondering
if you should get a pick, keep in mind the use of picks depend on what style of
playing you want to do. For example, I've never seen a flamenco guitarist
use picks. Another alternative could be to use finger picks. Some
people never use picks at all and prefer their own very hard fingernails but
this could make the playing of fast leads a bit more difficult.
Regarding slides, these usually come in two basic
materials, glass or metal. Choosing one material over another comes down to figuring
out the sound and feel that is right for you. Glass slides have a mellow sound,
but they are more fragile and can break. Metal slides are sturdy and produce a
sharper sound.
2. How long should my Fingernails be?
My
only suggestion is: keep the fingernails on your fretting hand trimmed as short
as possible without hitting the skin of course, then file them
smooth. This way, as you play, only the calluses will really touch the
strings and fingernails don't seem to be involved at all. As soon as you
start taking your guitar lessons,
you will notice that if you get lazy and don't trim them, they start getting in
the way and playing becomes more difficult.
3. How long do I need to take guitar lessons
before I start playing?
· 1-2 months:
You will be able to play easy guitar songs.
· 3-6 months:
You will start playing a bit more difficult songs, which require more technical
elements.
· 1 year:
You will be playing intermediate level songs, including many very popular
guitar songs, riffs, blues, and so on. You will probably start getting a more
definitive feel for barre chords at around this time as well.
· 2 years:
With enough practice and guitar lessons,
you could be playing most songs in 2 years. Learning a song at this stage is
very quick, as you’ll have mastered most technical elements already.
· 2-3 years:
If you learned guitar theory during your guitar journey, you’ll be able to
improvise on the guitar as well.
· 5-6 years: After 5-6 years ofguitar lessons,
you can call yourself an advanced guitarist. By then, you’ll be able to
play anything you want.
4. Where should I learn?
There
are many alternatives out there from private tutors to music institutes. "I
personally recommend Music
for All Inc. I studied there for about 2 years with Dr. Hernán Zapata when I lived
in Fort Lauderdale Florida. After that, I was forced to move to another
state due to a new job opportunity, and have taken their online
guitar lessons ever since". Student
THE GUITAR STARTED ITS
DEVELOPING SINCE 200 YEARS AGO WHEN THE “LAUD” ( A 4 STRING INSTRUMENT) WAS
AD A 5TH STRING. LATER ON,AROUND 130 YEARS AGO, THE GUITAR WAS BORN IN SPAIN.
THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR WAS USED AT FIRST
AS AN ACCOMPANIST INSTRUMENT, BUT LATER, THE CLASSICAL GUITAR WAS
MASTERED BY ANDRES SEGOVIA, WHO DIED AT AGE OF 93, IN 1992. WHO GAVE TO THE

A FIRST PLACE AND SOLOIST IN DIFFERENT ORCHESTRAS.
AT THE SAME TIME THE ELECTRIC
GUITAR
WAS INVENTED IN AMERICA BY PAUL LESS AROUND 65 YEARS AGO, WHO DIED AT AGE OF
92 IN 2009.
