Dun ever learn from any music schools in Singapore no
matter what, trust me, they suck and u end up spending a LOT of
money over the years. Most music schools like to teach very little
at a time so that they can eventually conduct more lessons which
translates to u paying more over the years.
Self thaught is the best......
Let me teach u how:
Step 1 : Buy a Guitar.
No need so expensive ones. A $45 acoustic guitar will do. Learn how
to fix your own guitar strings by taking out the strings on your
guitar and changing into new ones. Its more or less the same as
taking out your graphic card in you computer and fixing a new one,
its easy. For electric guitar, dismantle your whole guitar so that
you know the parts well. Learn how to tune your guitar. I tune my
guitar with my Recorder, the one i use during primary school music
lessons. Some books will also teach u how to tune your guitar. But
if all else fails, buy an electronic guitar tuner.
Step 2 : Go for Books.
Guitar books are available anywhere in any good music stores. Try
getting begginners's books and books that offers important stuff
such as [b]Chord Charts and the various right hand methods such as
plucking, strumming, picking etc. No need to learn every
single thing in the book. As long as u know some basic chords and
is comfortable wif changing from 1 chord to another, and know the
right hand methods u can start telling everybody u are a guitarist.
U should be able to play simple songs now.
Step 3 : Learn how to read tablature. (optional)
Tabs are very easy to read. It is also a MUST if u are planning to
play Metal songs or Rock songs. Figure it out yourself after u
completed step 2. U need to learn how to read tabs in order to
proceed to step 4.
Step 4 : Guitar online lessons. (optional)
Go to Google to search for whatever u are looking for. It can be a
pain to find the right lesson but its worth the effort. However
most online lessons are not newbie friendly and consists of very
advanced techneques requiring u to understand tabs so make sure u
complete step 2 and 3. A good website would be
www.ultimate-guitar.com.
Most important: Practice everyday.
Hope u find this useful.
