Finding yourself with my guitar lessons

Don’t be a guitarist fooled, influenced or manipulated by peer pressure, or a group of jealous friends who are feeding your ego by telling you that you don’t need any guitar lessons to become a good player. All superstar status guitarists at some point had guitar tuition, whether official or unofficial. Even Hendrix had lessons from Wes Montgomery when he was a kid, but once in the limelight, 'I just feel it man' . All the 60's guitarists struck me as big phonies when it came to admitting that they had been helped by other musicians and actually took lessons ..... It wasn't cool to have had lessons. It ruined their rock'n'roll image and consequently thousands of guitarists took to pure drug taking to solve their musicianship problems! Well my answer to that is: Here's a ton of hash, a kilo of cocaine, 50000 tabs of acid, some crack, a bag of speed, loads of smack, some good skunk, hawaian and columbian grass, A box of pills and thrills and come back to me when you can play like Hendrix! That type of advice is as healthy as the first cigarette smoked under the influence of the same group of posers. Everything in moderation works for most of us - that's personal choice. Are drugs and drink abuse a legal problem or a social and spiritual problem?

Don’t be a fool, ask yourself, what do you really need before you resign from taking professional guitar lessons. The majority of people cough and choke through the first cigarette but are afraid to admit they don’t really like it. That's obviously a mark of immaturity, but what's the difference between that and the constant unsuccesfull trials of learning how to play the guitar, being in the same place for ages and then telling your friends how great it was? Many young musicians are trying to blow their own trumpet to prove how original, talented and independant they are but there is a limited time you can pretend something like that and still claim you don’t need any serious guitar tuition. Sooner or later you're gonna have to strut your stuff, and have to play out to show what you're really made of. How are you going to do that, if you've been bluffing the large, were only playing big all that time and you need 10 shots of pure spirit to stop those knees and fingers shaking. You, in yourself, know you never progressed into a confident stage performer. So when you're ready to burst your ego - I can give you what you need.

Plan to get guitar lessons. Not to impress other people, but reach your goals and become a really good player. You will never achieve that by pretending that you can do something which is impossible to do, without guitar lessons. You should always be your own judge as you know best what you need and what you don’t. I can only tell you that as a rule of thumb, all novices need some sort of helping hand and if they don’t have a good player in their family, they simply book guitar lessons. That’s what they do if they are serious about playing the guitar, if they are not, they refuse to admit they need guitar courses and as a result, they never progress. I used to play when I was younger but gave it up! Heard that anywhere before?
