Guitar Lessons

I would like to speak on the attributes of learning about music when taking guitar lessons. The advantages of finding out about the music that you play and how it works will make the difference between understanding your instrument and just playing along.

The first perception you must understand is that learning music is just like learning a new language. The notes are like the words of your new language and the songs are the stories you will tell. As with any new language the best way to master it is to use it and play with it every day, just as you do your own language. You may not remember every piece of information all the time but by using that information all the time you will eventually never forget it. You must realize from the beginning that in music you will use every thing you learn, there is no waisted information in music. So, if there is any thing about your musical instruction you don't understand you need to make the effort to find some one who can help you understand. Learning about music and how it works is also the best way to start to develop you sense of rhythm. This knowledge along with practicing with a video or CD you will start your internal clock. I will talk about rhythm in another blog.
To review, you should remember that learning music is just like learning a new language and the best way to feel comfortable with it is to use it every day. Ask questions if you find yourself confused about any new information and never forget to have fun with music.
