I think that lessons are great.... Though I have never taken one


Ive been playing guitar/bass for 3 years now and have taught myself everything. Tommorw I go for my first lesson, kinda.... My friend who is a music major is teaching me some stuff.

I'm currently taking lessons and I love them. Although the lessons are just teaching me to read music, I have found them extremely helpful, as I can now put the songs I wrote in guitar tab in rhythm, so I can remember how to play them later.

i also am tryin to learn thr guitar ,, i know theroy from piano and band when i was in school,but i need help with the guitar i think lessons will do it ,, keep going if its helpin you then that awsome

Thank you everyone for inputs.
I play a gig on Sunday December 14, 2008 in Toronto with some of my teacher's other students.
We are playing Rebel Without a Cause and I have the main part and the out solo.
Today, we just continued with the song and I've learned almost the whole thing.
Just working on speed now.
This is my 18th lesson.

From a teacher, you only need to learn proper technique and how to read music. this also includes flamenco rythms, proper arm movements when playing scales, ect. if a teacher wants to give you lessons on something else, you're wasting your money. I'm almost done with a BA in music minored in education. I've taught over 60 students. lmk if you ever need help.

Today we continued with the song.
Lesson 19.
