Getting Started With A Guitar - First Steps

People from all over the world are now on the internet and looking for guitar lessons. They want to learn guitar. They want to learn how to play guitar. They might even be looking for free guitar lessons. But the bottom line is that they are beginner guitar players and they need some easy guitar lessons.

I´v been playing for over 20 years and a large portion of that is being a teacher. Friends and family and people off the street come to me to learn to play the guitar. And I love doing it. After all, I love playing guitar and knowing that i helped another.

But all guitar lessons are NOT created equal. There are some very lame ´Play the guitar in 7 days´ type of courses out there.

Obviously, I can´t teach the whole world how to play a guitar, so what I did was the next best thing. I found the best guitar lessons online, and I putted them in one place so that you could easily find them. Instead of wasting a lot of time and money on the losers scams. But look what online guitar lessons I recommend to you!

Most beginner guitar players start out with a very important question. This is almost the first questions I am asked when someone brings their child to me saying ´Danny wants to play a guitar. What kind of guitar should we buy ?´

Now, I gotta be honest. They´re not really ready for the guitar that Danny will eventually want. They probably have no idea that a very nice guitar is around $2,000. And I don´t want them to hit the floor because I told them….especially in front of Danny.

So what I told them was to read this report and then try to buy a decent guitar based on what is in that report, and keep it under $300. If they buy a used guitar, that´s real not a big problem it´s really easy to do.

The reason for that are all laid out in the free report, but one big point is this. If you buy Danny a cheap, Wally-world special, he won´t have fun playing it. He´ll lose interest and you´ll waste all your money on a dust collector.

On the other hand, don´t go out and spend $1,500 on a nice Taylor because as this point we don´t know if Danny will really take on to guitar playing.

So the bottom line is, you have to get something that is both fun and easy for your fingers to play, sounds good, and isn´t too expensive. Once Danny finds out that he loves his guitar (and he will) maybe in a year you can pick up a Martin D28.
