Learn To Play A Guitar Song

Musical education has changed quite a bit in the last ten years or so. When I was in school everyone wanted to play a musical instrument, but the reality was that few students stuck with it. Who wants to play scales day after day? No matter what the instrument, everyone wants to learn a song. Both my brothers and I learned to play guitar by ear and after endless repetitions of the popular songs of our day, we learned to play a lot of different guitar songs. I’m sure my mother was thrilled when we mastered one so we could go on to something different. She got pretty tired of Satisfaction, House of the Rising Sun, and Day Tripper. The point is that we never tired of practicing. It was so much more interesting to play a guitar song instead of just chords and scales.

With the increase of DVD instruction and online instruction, it is easier than ever to learn to play guitar. Some courses will have you playing songs from the very first lesson. The best selling point for parents of budding musicians is that many sites offer free trials and DVD’s are not very expensive. You will not have a big investment if your child decides they are no longer interested. My cousin’s parents went to a huge expense to buy her piano. She hated piano lessons, hated practicing, and soon gave it up entirely. It sits in their living room to this day some forty years after its purchase. I wonder if she would have enjoyed it more if she could have learned popular songs from the beginning.

If classical guitar is your interest, you certainly will need to do some basic work to begin with, but new methods of teaching will have you playing songs, not scales in short order. There are online courses for any skill level or style of guitar music and many teachers who give private lessons have adopted more modern teaching methods that make music lessons fun, not torture.

Guitar tabs are available in most styles of music with hundreds of songs to choose from.

From folk, to country, to rock, bluegrass and classical, you can choose a single guitar song to learn or dozens of them. With the tablatures, you will learn more easily because it shows you where to place your fingers, and gives you rhythm, bass, and lead guitar songs, complete with words to get you on your way to having fun with your guitar.
