There are a lot of different ways to learn to play your guitar. Some are a bit more unusual than the classic idea. First thing you think of is ofcourse that you make an appointment at your local music school with a renowned teacher. You go once or twice a week to master your instrument and eventually after months you can finally make some noise on your guitar that doesn’t sound bad at all.

But there are other ways. Every once in a while you hear of someone who thaught him or herself to play the guitar. A couple of the best guitarists in the world are self thaught. Dave Grohl for instance. He started when he was twelve with some lessons. But he didn’t like this very much so he started to teach himself. And you have to admit, when you see them live or even hear them, you can’t really complain about Dave’s guitar play. This means that it is possible. But if you are just a normal average guitarist you can probably forget it. It takes a significant amount of talent and discipline. Because you already need to have a very good feeling for music to learn it by yourself.

Next to that, and by far the most important ingredient, is discipline. When you try to teach yourself you will be faced by problems and disappointment very often. There is no teacher that gives tips about what you do wrong and how you can improve on your play. You also have to sort all steps out by yourself. Because how do you know where to start without the help of your guru? And what do you do when you have some basic knowledge and want to get better? (more…)

I can remember when it was the summer of 2000, more than 11 years ago at the moment of writing. The radio was on, but on such a volume that I could actually ignore it. But I probably would have ignored it anyway since I just received my guitar. Can’t recall the brand or type but it was a rather cheap instrument. I had a little bit of experience. With a little bit I mean that I had 2 or 3 guitar lessons at the age of 8. So I could barely read the tabs.

One moment I was fully focused on my guitar but a moment later I totally forgot all about the guitar. Even forgot that I was trying to make music. Because this was when I first heard Californication by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. The DJ announced a new single by the band from Los Angeles. The first notes reached my ears and I was estatic. I just sat there with the guitar on my lap, enjoying every single second of the 5 minutes the song. (more…)
