About how to use this blog and do the self practice 

This guitar lesson was designed for those who have difficulty in learning how to play the guitar only with learning materials. 

There are two major reasons causing difficulty in self learning: 

-People cannot figure out whether they are playing the guitar in a correct manner for themselves. 

-Plays recorded in those learning materials are model ones and therefore they cannot figure out when they have to advance to the next step while focusing their learning on those plays. 

I will upload the courses of this lesson targeted on those who start to play the guitar for the first time in their lives. 

The lesson will begin on October 18, 2012 and each course will be posted on this blog once a week. 

Now I am planning to provide a 3-month basic lesson and the lesson aims at making people sing and play songs they want only with scores. 

If you want to get effective outcomes in a relatively short period, you need to invest your time for practice on a daily basis. 

It would be better for you to have an hour of practice a day and you need to continue your practice on a daily basis rather than doing a midnight cram. 

The most important part required for you to play the guitar will be covered by this 3-month lesson. 

It would be better for you to have a right posture to create good sounds, learn basic musical theories and learn the practicing method from the very beginning. 

-Do the correct tuning before practice and practice your guitar with a metronome. 

-Correct tuning improves your sense of pitch and the metronome improves your sense of rhythm. 

Have a habit of singing along while practicing your guitar. 

-It is the purpose of this lesson. If you keep practicing your guitar without singing along, you will have much difficulty in playing and singing at the same time. 

How to Practice 

When you practice the second course after completing the first one, you need to practice from the first one to the second one. It would be better for you to begin your practice from the first one followed by the next ones although the number of completed courses increases. If you don’t repeat practices for the finished courses, you will easily forget what you’ve learned. In addition, you will also find new things from the finished courses while repeatedly practicing them. You will be accustomed to the finished courses as you repeat such practices thus reducing the time of the practices and ensuring that you have learned those courses completely. 

How to Use This Blog 

If the lesson is provided only with videos, you will have difficulty in quickly finding what you need while practicing previous courses. Thus, I will try to explain the contest of the lesson in texts on this blog and videos will only be taken for part that needs demonstrations. You may use Ctrl + F (Windows) or command + F (Mac OS) to search for what you need. If you need specific information of the lesson, you may use the search function at top of this blog.
