Whether or not you should take private lessons to learn to play guitar is a tough subject for me. Some individuals really do need someone to get them pointed in the right direction, but I think that the majority of people will learn to play guitar faster by learning on their own. IF and I do mean IF they are learning the right things. What happens with weekly instruction is as follows:
Student goes to weekly guitar lesson
Student learns weekly guitar lesson at home
Student practices weekly guitar lesson for 5 more days until his next guitar lessonYou see, unfortunately the amount of material that your instructor can cover in a half hour lesson can usually be mastered by someone in one to three days. Then the student is left to simply improve their speed or technique for a few days but they’re not learning anything new on the guitar. So I’m not a big fan of private lessons, but perhaps you would feel better if you took some along side of covering this course. It’s really a matter of your personal choice.
