I’m 15, and I have become really interested to learn how to play the acoustic guitar.
I would like to know if it is hard?
& i know perfect practice makes perfect.

thanks for answers

It’s not hard to learn as long as you have the desire to learn. Some people think that if they take lots of lessons that they will be a good player. NOT SO. You either have talent or you don’t. Music is a gift !
If your really interested, go for it. Hopefully you’ll love playing as much as I do.
And if by chance you make it big one day, I want front row seats at your concert. LOL

The only experience I’ve had with instruments is playing the alto saxophone for three years.

the best way to learn the guitar is to take lessons with a good qualified instructor in your area. explain what you want and a teacher can help you pick out and learn appropriate material. Start off with simple folk songs and campfire songs (they are easy to play and sing)

I’ve heard that this is "the best" book/dvd to learn guitar. I could get it for around $150-$200. The price seems pretty ridiculous but it does come with a money back guarantee (minus shipping) in case I don’t like it.

Is it worth it?

Great question!

Private lessons would be the best way to go if you can find a good teacher but that’s hard unless you happen to be surrounded by fabulous music schools.

There are a lot of not-so-great teachers out there - mostly because musical education overall isn’t so great - way too many people are self taught and they don’t even have many of the basics right.

I’ve found video lessons to be a good cost effective alternative. You were nervous about that $200 cost, but that would only buy you 8 half hour private lessons. You won’t get far with that.

I tried several of the video programs and the best by far is Scotty West’s Absolutely Understand Guitar. Scotty is a great teacher and his program is very well organized and complete.

You can even call or email if you have questions and talk to Scotty directly. Learn and Master Guitar was good for some things (and they sure are everywhere on the ‘net these days…) but L&M didn’t provide the real understanding that I was looking for.

I’m in a band now and writing my own music thanks to Scotty.

Good luck with your guitar. Here’s the link

PS: There’s something on YouTube that will give you a taste of what Scotty’s all about:

I am a beginner acoustic guitar player who has been playing for 3 weeks. How do I develop calluses on my left hand finger tips faster. Any Tips?

practice for forever and a day… and dont run your fingers through water or soak them or else it'll soften up and make it harder to develop them…
