well...if you play guitar and can offer me lessons, that is. or you know someone who does. or a place that does. in english, of course.
i've been playing on and off since a kid, so i've taught myself a lot of stuff...i don't consider myself a beginner anymore, so keep that in mind. let me know your rates and location, please. i'm in seoul, west city of the city. |

You should title this thread something like "I Need Guitar Lessons" or something. Wasted a click.
Now I'm wasting even more time just typing this. Wow. I should probably stop... Wow, twenty-five seconds... keeps adding up... %!#% |

jlaskie--What kind of stuff do you like to play? I think lessons are highly overrated. Learn the songs you like--that's the best teacher.
If you're into country or alt rock let me know as that's what I usually play (admittedly, not very well). |

| Lessons are important to develop technique. Some of the best lessons I've had were ones where I was taught how NOT to do something. A lot of self-taught guys carry their bad habits all the way through to the advanced level and then find it extremely difficult to get rid of them. |

I thought for a second this thread was about women. Not long ago, one of my Korean friends sent me a text when she was a bit drunk along the lines of "I want you, you know what I want"  |

| to the OP, send a pm to Harpeau on this site. Not sure if he still teaches guitar lessons on the side, but he builds'em, so he'll definitely be able to direct you to a teacher |

Too true. I hate it when famous rock stars say you don't need lessons. That's a bunch of B.S. I have a friend who never took lessons. He still hits the strings too hard; he doesn't play in tune; he never bothered to learn barr chords (or even basic open chords, for that matter);he doesn't strum correctly; when he bends stings, he only uses one finger, and he doesn't alternate pick!
So, yeah, lots of musicians should take some lessons so that they don't develop bad habits. |
