Learn How To Play The Guitar
How hard is it to learn to play Guitar? And how should I start?
I have always wanted to play guitar. Not in a band or anything, but to be able to play along with my favorite Rock Group. Like sitting outside listening to Motley Crue or Pink Floyd and be Playing The Guitar right along with the song.
How hard is it to learn?
How should I start?
What, if anything, should I buy?
I have little artistic capability, but I really want to learn.
I wouldn’t call it hard, but you will need to allow time for callouses to build up on your fingers, and it will take some time for your hand to adjust to forming some of the more difficult chords.
Beyond that, it’s just practice, like anything else.
It’s easiest to learn with a teacher, at least to get you started. I’ve used books, videos, and a teacher, and the teacher experience was the best. It’s a cash outlay, sure, but a good teacher is worth it. They can answer questions, stop bad habits before they start (very important!), and give individual attention.
You’ll need to buy a guitar. You don’t need top of the line, but don’t cheap out either. A bad guitar is difficult to play and will often lead to bad habits. You want a decent, well set-up guitar.
(edit–I personally would NOT start with a nylon String Guitar. The neck is wider and harder for your left hand, in my experience. The only advantage is the strings feel better on your fingers if you don’t have callouses, and that’s a moot point within a couple weeks).
