The Learn and Master Guitar Home Study Course that I ordered just arrived on my doorstep!
I took it in the house, and opened it up on video – so you, too, can see exactly what you get when you order this guitar lesson home-study course.
In summary: This looks amazing. Just the packaging alone shows that the Learn and Master Guitar system is thorough. Really – it’s a hefty package filled with DVD’s, CD’s and a big workbook.
I’m going to get started right away, and report back to you soon!
You really should consider buying this course, too. It will last a lifetime, and costs less than a month or two of private guitar lessons.
I’ve been trying, unsuccessfully, over the last 10 years or so, to teach myself guitar.
Instead of using a comprehensive home-study course, I’ve made many small purchases of various guitar lesson books and videos, song books, reference tools and training equipment.
With all of these purchases, you’d think that I’d be a master guitar player by now.
…but, no. I’m not. I’m not good at all. In fact, I still suck at guitar.
I thought that it would be helpful to you, and therepuetic to me, to share some of the accumulated guitar training and guitar teaching tools that I’ve purchased over the years, in my endeavor to teach myself how to play the acoustic guitar.
With any luck, you won’t make the same mistakes that I’ve made. Or, perhaps some components of my “self taught guitar training arsenal” may be useful to you, in your own endeavor to teach yourself how to play guitar.
Either way, I now disclose some embarrassment, in my collection of guitar training tools and books that I have purchased over the years.
This is a much higher quality guitar than the one I own!
I bought my first guitar over 10 years ago.
It was relatively inexpensive (about $100) and worked just fine.
Within a year or two, my son – a toddler at the time – decided that he’d accidentally drop something heavy on the neck of the guitar. ( I don’t remember what it was. I just know it was smashed! )
So, with the neck of the guitar smashed, I went out to buy a replacement.
What guitar to buy next?
When I went into my local Guitar Center store, I saw the same huge inventory of expensive guitars, and mid-priced guitars.
…and I saw my first guitar, with that low $100 price tag.
There was nothing wrong with that “starter guitar” – until the neck got smashed, of course. So, I decided I would buy the exact same guitar. (Why spend the extra money? I’m not playing in a band, or recording awesome live music, right? I just need a guitar that sounds good.)
So, I re-bought my first guitar.
I’ve had it ever since, and I’m still very happy with it.
