I am a guitar beginner and I still do not know any guitar techniques. I've got some books on learning and playing the guitar with related guitar techniques, but the text is very difficult to follow for somebody who is a novice. Direct input from the pages of a book to your fingers is much easier for a professional musician. I started first to look for help from my own family.

But without professional help to pass on the learning of guitar techniques, I'm not able to start my adventure of playing guitar. I think the best idea is to search the internet. Research all the Ads of people who can teach me professional guitar techniques.

Anyway, I've been recommended to John Mizarolli who is reputed to have taught over 25000 guitarists! That's enough proof for me - I'm sure I could pick up a few Guitar Techniques from him.
