Hi folks.
Just an idea ...
This morning I posted a reply to a newbie guitarist suggesting he think about getting lessons early on. I had a look around the forum and couldn't find anything specifically on the topic, so I provided him a link elsewhere. Then I got to thinking - this is a very important subject for beginners, and since ours
is a beginning guitarist (and beyond) forum and we have several insightful and successful teachers here (grovel, grovel) - why not ask them to come up with an 'in-house' article.
So, here I am putting in a request for such an article - something that may save someone (or many people!) somewhere, years of less-than-optimal progress. Make it required reading lol.
There's loads of great advice here on the forum, and tons of support, but can we completely take the place of a good guitar teacher giving immediate advice and feedback? Good habits need to be developed early IMHO.
Anyway, I thought maybe the article could encompass some or all of:
1. the importance of having a teacher
2. How to find one
3. What to expect from your teacher
4. What a teacher looks for and appreciates from, a student
5. How to maximise your session etc etc
This might be extended to follow-up articles including say - how to plan/maximise practice time, goal-oriented and focussed practice, and so-on.
I realise that every student/teacher relationship will be different but I'm betting there will be at least some things common to all.
Anyway, esteemed teachers - what do you say? Fellow members - would you find this helpful?
Cheers, and thanks for reading
