This time I am going to take learning serious
Guitar lessons are short and can be expensive. One worry I had was not remembering what the teacher said and going home without any further guidance. I could just imagine my frustration continuing to brew. Next I turned to the internet to see what available for guidance. Being a beginner, all the information was overwhelming. I didn’t know where to start or what to do. I purchased a book or two and just wasn’t staying motivated.
So far this way of learning wasn’t working for me. I would start up practice for a week or two, become frustrated because I did not know how to structure my lessons and what exactly I should be doing. I didn't know how fast the progression would be, and if I was doing it right. Giving in to my frustration, I would stop practicing all together.
This is something I really want to do. The only way to learn is to keep trying. Getting the courage to continually practice and to stay motivated wasn’t forthcoming to me. Learning to play the guitar is not going to happen just by wanting it. I need to turn my desire to play an instrument into reality by committing to practice.
About a year ago while searching for a way that would help me learn guitar I started to look into lessons online. There were many courses to choose from. Many I saw claimed to teach you to play guitar in record time. I just don’t see how this hurry up approach could really work. Then I found Learn and Master Guitar with Steve Krenz. This is just what I’ve been looking for. Structured lessons, encouragement from other people trying to learn the same thing, and a teacher that I could replay over and over until I would understand. This would also allow me to learn on my own time, without having to run twice a week to lessons in town. I finally am able to purchase the course have high hopes that it will be just what is need to achieve my goals in learning the guitar.
