Learn to Play Guitar the Right Way

What's the best way to learn to play guitar? The answer depends on your unique situation. There is no "one size fits all" way to learn guitar.

One good choice is to take in-person lessons from a private instructor. This usually involves meeting with the instructor one a week for 30 minutes. Depending on where you live, the cost per lesson might be in the range of say $15-30, or $60-120/month. This works out to $720-1440/year. Although the quality of the instuction can be good depending on who your instructor is, this is still a pretty big chunk of change. Another consideration is that in-person lessons can be inconvenient, in that you need to travel there and it can be hard to fit it into your schedule.

A popular substitute to in-person lessons are home study guitar courses. These have the benefit of a reasonable one-time cost upfront ($50-250), and give you the flexibility to learn and practice when you want, and at your own pace.

The problem with home study learn guitar courses are that the quality varies all over the place. Some are crappy and cheap. Others are good and fairly priced. Some are outstanding and represent solid value for the money spent.
