A Note About Taking Guitar Lessons Vs. Learning Without A Teacher:
Alex is one of countless guitar players who chose to improve their skills by taking lessons with Tom Hess.
Taking lessons with an experienced guitar teacher is the best way to improve your guitar skills in as little time as possible.
Why is this better than learning on your own?
There are several reasons. Here are just a few them:
- Without a guitar teacher to guide you, it’s challenging to know exactly what to do to achieve your musical goals and how to practice this effectively (even if you do know what to do)
- It’s sometimes very difficult to overcome plateaus in your playing, because it simply is not clear what needs to be done to get better when you don't have expert advice to help
- Learning on your own can feel overwhelming without someone there to motivate you when things feel very challenging or you don't know how long it will take to get results
