My son wants to learn the guitar

Buy the lad a chord book/song book and a guitar and he'll learn it himself.

 

Great hobby!

I have never agreed with Nickalarse before but I have played in bands for more than half my life and most of the good people are self taught.

 

I have the advantage of being a classically trained brass player until my early 20s, and I had free lessons at school and paid for them as a young adult.

I am now a keyboards player who specialises in rock organ and funk electric piano playing.

 

However for a guitar player, I have not met many good ones who paid for lessons, all they need is enthusiasm, and a broad mind, take him to see frank white, and buy him some jimi hendrix cds..

Self teaching is good for the most part but there's no harm getting a few lessons as others can teach you good technique which can be hard to understand from a book. That said there are plenty of good video/DVD tutorials around :)

Can anyone advise us on how to find a teacher who is reliable and charges a reasonable rate. we are in the s20 area

 

 

Hi I currently teach guitar and can enter students for Grades if required

I charge £15.00 pounds an hour which is cheap as most charge about £20

I already have a number of particularily sucessfull students and am Based in the Nether Edge area.

 

Hope this helps

i have a four year old daughter who has started showing interest in guitar. my brother in law plays as does a friend of ours, both are really busy people and live quite a distance from us. we have bought her a junior guitar towards xmas. would the above poster be up for giving her a few lessons as me and hubby dont have a clue although i will have a go at learning with her. hopefully free or cheap.

thanks, lisa x
