I think it depends on how well you are progressing on your own. If the guitar is still untouched and untuned then if you want to learn to play I think you will need lessons.
If you already feel very comfortable with your guitar and have started to learn stuff just by picking it up and fiddleing, then this may be the best way to learn for you. Lots of people I know have just learnt to play by just teaching theselves. You should probably just find someone to tune it for you and show you the basics of how to get it working.
It also depends how much time you have. If you don’t have a lot of time, music lessons help you to progress with an instrument because they force you to make time to play it and practice. Whereas, if you have little time and you’re not having music lessons, the odds are that you may just leave it somewhere and forget to play it, or you won’t play it regularly enough to actually learn. From your desciption it sounds like this is what has happened, it which case, go for it!
Also depends what kind of skills you want. If you want to do grades and stuff (e.g. these give you university points) then your probably best off getting a teacher because teachers push you more. If its just for your own amusement than a teacher isn’t as necessary.
Lessons can be quite expensive and hard work, but if you want to really want to learn, get lessons.
They are totally worth it. I’ve been playing for 48 years and I started taking lessons again about a year ago. It was the best thing I’ve done in a long while.
Yeah, just make sure you take lessons from someone who knows what they’re doing. make sure that you’re getting your money’s worth and you are actually learning from them. I have been playing 11 years now and I am completely self taught. I AM very good…but I can’t imagine how good I would be if I had taken lessons… Lessons teach you things that teaching yourself just can’t
Yes. I found them pretty useful, if the teacher is good. Having someone show you how things work. You can get this online but nothing in depth, and you can’t ask questions. It helped me understand what genres of music I wanted to play and get past those initial moments when you want to drop it. You don’t need a whole lot, the guitar is a relatively easy instrument to pick up in terms of basics its not like drums or violin and you don’t need to have very good hand eye coordination like with the drums. After you’ve had a few you can practice by yourself.
They aren’t necessary but may be helpful. That being said, not ALL teachers are helpful…I took lessons for a month or two and all he did was teach me a new riff every week. Some people find it better to teach themselves. It really all depends on how willing you are to find something new for yourself to learn. Also, it depends on what you want to get out of playing..
