The problem with learning from books, DVDs, or the Internet is they don’t and can’t take into consideration your specific personal goals, your current level of playing, and your strengths and weaknesses.

One of the great benefits from taking guitar lessons with a great guitar teacher is that he knows where you’re at in your playing and understanding. He knows what you are trying to accomplish and how you specifically learn so instead of you receiving instruction meant for the masses you receive material that is specific to your goals and needs at that moment in time.

How do you get feedback to see if you’re physically doing the techniques correctly that you learned on the Internet or from books? When you learn a new technique or concept it is vital to not only see it done correctly, but to also get instant feedback to know if YOU are doing or understanding it correctly as well.

Regularly seeing a good guitar teacher is the best way of ensuring that your playing is on the right track and that you are moving forward with your guitar playing. You will know what you are doing right, what you are doing wrong, what your strengths are, and what areas need more attention to keep you on the straight and narrow path toward your reaching goals.

You could spend months or even years wasting time on instructional books, DVDs, online courses, or poor guitar teachers and still not make much progress. The purpose of spending your money and time on books, DVDs, and lessons is not to say you did but to get a result.

By taking guitar lessons from a good guitar teacher you will not only get results you want but you will also save all the time, money, and frustration you would have spent on ineffective methods or courses.

You can find a ton of information from books or the Internet. However, it is usually up to you to piece it all together and most guitar players end up:

Learning with a great guitar teacher will help you learn the right content in the right order so you don’t develop bad habits, misconceptions, or “holes” in your playing that limit progress. This will greatly help you to avoid plateaus and continue progressing so you don’t get frustrated, quit, or have to back track.

Guitar lessons alone don’t make you a better player. It’s how you spend the 7 days between the lessons that really counts.

A great guitar teacher will help you use your time wisely, by helping you come up with an effective and personalized practice strategy for maximum results in the shortest amount of time.

If you don’t know how to use the information you learn what did you learn? Instructional books and Internet lessons only give you information but what do you do with that information? How will this material help you to integrate what you learn into what you already know? Many guitarists find themselves not knowing what to do with what they have already learned so they continue to learn more and more when in reality they need to learn how to use what they already know.

With a great guitar teacher you can expect not to be given tons and tons of random information or “cool stuff” to play but you will be trained on how to use the information and “cool stuff” you are given so you can apply it and make the music you want to.

One of the biggest advantages of taking guitar lessons from a great guitar teacher is that each week you will be encouraged and inspired to pick up your guitar and play. Knowing that you have someone to support your development and learning as well as someone to hold you accountable for progressing are two of the greatest benefits of taking guitar lessons.

Consequences of Learning on Your Own:

1. Very slow progress compared to those who take guitar lessons with an experienced and effective instructor.
2. Making wrong assumptions of how to learn the guitar.
3. Lack of strategy to insure progress.
4. Lack of quality feedback.
5. Learning things in the wrong order.
6. Development of bad habits that are difficult to correct in the future.
7. Bad guitar technique that leads to sloppy playing and poor guitar skills.
8. Risk of hand injuries and back problems.
9. Lack of confidence and low self-esteem due to slow progression.
10. Constant frustration and doubt.

There are a lot of guitar teachers here in Salt Lake City, but here are a few things that I do different to help my students become better guitar players:

	What You Can Expect From a Normal Guitar Teacher	What You Can Expect From Me.
How will you find out what I want to do and what I really need to progress?	Most guitar teachers only ask few simple questions regarding your favorite bands and songs and then begin teaching. Usually they don’t even write that information down either.	I have you fill out an extensive student assessment sheet and in my free evaluation session we talk about your interests, your current knowledge, your struggles, and your goals. I keep this information on file and refer back to it when planning your personalized lessons.
How will you develop a plan for me to make sure I can be playing the way I want to in the shortest amount of time possible and with the least amount of frustration?	Most guitar teachers usually do not have a long term plan for you and often teach from lesson to lesson with no effective long-term strategy or goal for their students.	From the evaluation lesson we will agree on a plan of action and decide what your short term and long-term goals are. My lessons in general are designed to “build you” as a well-rounded player so you don’t hit any walls and have to back track.
How will you develop a plan for me to make sure I can be playing the way I want to in the shortest amount of time possible and with the least amount of frustration?	Most guitar teachers are not concerned with this and only teach their student songs or superficial “stuff” without focusing on the core issues that are holding them back form reaching their guitar playing goals.	From the first lesson we will pin point what your problems are and the root causes of them. Whether it is a lack of knowledge, lack of skill, bad practice habits, or a self-sabotaging mind-set.
How will you record my progress?	Most guitar teachers do not record their student’s progress and some don’t even care, but just want the student to continue paying for lessons.	I keep a file for each student to keep track of what is taught in each lesson to help me effectively plan your future lessons. Also, once a month I will send you an email of what we have gone over so you will be able to see your progress. I will also record you periodically so you can critique your playing and progress as well as have something to show your friends and family.
How will you help me to practice effectively and make the most of my time between lessons?	Most teachers don’t bother with any of this, they just give you a load of material each week.	Each week I help you to organize your practice time into how much time you should practice the material each day, as well as how to practice the material given.
Do you provide support outside of the lessons?	No, the help stops when the lesson ends.	You may email me as often as you like for help on the past lessons. Additional learning resources will also be available on my website. (More and more resources are constantly added for your benefit).

So are you ready to stop talking about learning how to play the guitar and finally just do it?

Are you ready to get on the right path to becoming the awesome guitar player that you were meant to be?
