Should I take guitar lessons or teach myself from a book?
I questioned for a guitar for my birthday, and I got one. Thing is, I do not know how to play it. I have zero skills in the guitar, don’t know any of the chords, but do have capo, picks, etc. Should I take guitar lessons from a professional, or should I teach myself from a book or the internet? Thanks in advance!
i would start with lessons and then once you get the basics down you’re excellent to go.
I learned chords from a book and it was relatively simple. I was 13 at the time. But, I had taken lessons on another instrument for over 8 years. If you have no prior musical training, you force be best to get lessons. Otherwise, start out with a book, see how you do and if you want professional help, hire a teacher.
Lessons. Teaching yourself can take forever.
