It has happened to me on several occasions. But you know what?

You CAN learn guitar fast!!

You really can! I was amazed how easy it was after I found out what to do and then do it right!

I just had to practice with intent. But practice on the guitar is fun, except when your fingers don’t do what you want them to do!  

To learn guitar fast you can start by doing some simple finger exercises to get your fingers used to playing. I got a guitar instruction dvd that taught me a lot!

But before I got the dvd I tried to learn by music books. There is nothing wrong with it… if I knew how to read music.

I don’t know about you but I can’t read music. Sure I can tell what note it is…if you give me a minute to figure it out but I can’t read it to the point that I could use it to play a song. I’d be there for days!

If I was going to learn to play the guitar immediately I was going to need something that will teach me fast.

I first asked myself what it meant to learn guitar fast. I was sure my definition was different than another persons.

For me I wanted to learn a few songs. That’s it! I just wanted to learn to play a few simple songs and then I’d be on my way!

 And you know what?

I did! It was GREAT!!

I was able to learn to play a couple of songs in just a few days. Once I learned the right way to play the chords and how to put them together it was really fast.

I knew I was not going to play lead guitar immediately. I had to learn to walk before I could run but that’s okay. I don’t want to be Eddie Van Halen. I wanted to learn to play and have fun with it too.

And guess what?

I am.

I’m really enjoying my DVD’s and I’m going to tell you all about them and where to get them.

The idea of using guitar instruction books didn’t appeal to me because I wanted to actually see how they did it and hear how it sounded. It had to be a DVD format. Plus I could sit on my couch and learn.

I know there are many of dvd’s available and I know that some have to be good and some are pretty bad.

But, I was on a mission to learn the guitar so here I am.

Since everyone seems to be writing their story on the web I thought I would do the same. I mean, maybe there are other people who want to play and want to know a good way to learn.

I’ll write more on this later as I got a guitar instruction dvd program and it looks pretty good. If you would like to leave a comment or feedback please feel free to do so.

Keep on jammin!
