One of the biggest mistakes guitar students make is thinking they should wait "till they get somewhere on their own" before taking a guitar lesson. What they don't know is that most of the playing problems that make playing a struggle for so many people start in the beginning!

A "Principled" Guitar Lesson Is Your Best Chance of Success! The Beginning Is The Best Time, But The Sooner The Better!

The longer you wait to get the right information and the right training, the further you travel from the path of your own true development as a guitar player. Beginning to learn the guitar is a journey. If your first step is in the wrong direction, you have a very long journey ahead of you, a journey to nowhere!

What Is "Learning The Guitar"?

When you learn guitar, you are really trying to teach your fingers to make the moves necessary to play music on the guitar, and to make those moves smoothly, that is what you are really trying to do.

Because of this, it doesn't matter what book or DVD you use, because none of them will teach you how to do this, except "The Principles Of Correct Practice For Guitar" book & DVD. All existing guitar instructional material merely shows you what you need to be able to do, and then says, "well, keep trying, maybe you'll get it (but a lot of you won't)!"

So, whether you learn guitar at all is quite a crap shoot in the beginning, and I believe the rate of success is about 20% of all those who try. And the ones who do learn to play, rarely reach their full potential because of all the bad playing habits that begin in the beginning.

Those bad habits don't reveal themselves fully until later on, when you try to play something a little more ambitious than strumming and singing, something with scale runs perhaps, fast fingerpicking, or challenging left hand work. Then, you will begin to realize that there is something wrong with your fundamental guitar playing ability, and more importantly, your ability to learn new skills, and get better and better on guitar.

That "something wrong" will be the very fundamentals of your technique on guitar, all the bad habits that you got at the beginning, and reinforced in every practice session. The sad fact is that what guitar players really need to learn is exactly what they are not taught. I will make sure you learn :

• The true mechanics of how the fingers make the necessary movements on the guitar
• The true process of how to teach the fingers to do those movements
• The true method for developing your fingers into constantly improving guitar player fingers, regardless of "natural talent".

The sooner you learn these things the better, the better. The beginning is the best time. If you would like to begin the guitar correctly, and reach your full potential as a player, or get rid of the playing problems you have, contact geraldine and schedule a lesson with me.
