Guitar Lesson Book

One thing about learning to play the guitar that never changes is you’re always learning.  You may not go out and buy a guitar lesson book every other day but you might find after five years of playing you find a neat new trick that makes you faster or sound better. I think that’s one of the greatest things about playing the guitar that really sets it apart from other instruments.

One of the things that both both beginner and advanced players alike need to know is how to read music.  Most times this means starting out with learning a few chords; more specifically power chords.  Chords are like the foundation of any song you’ve heard or that you are going to write.  A lot of very popular pop and rock songs revolve around a few very simple to play chords.  Once you have the basic chords down you can start to mix in a few scales and licks producing a totally unique sound.

So to give you a good idea of where to start

• Learn a few scales and practice them every day
• Learn a few chords and practice them every day

That probably seems a little too simple but once you can play a few scales and a few chords without looking at your fingers you have the perfect base to learn any style of guitar whether its blues, jazz, rock, pop, heavy metal, etc.  Learning on your own will take you a fair amount of time but you can streamline the process especially if you take live or online guitar lessons.  Even if you don’t want to take lessons its a good idea to invest in a guitar lesson book so you can start to see how songs come together.
