One of the Big Reasons Why It's So Frustrating Learning The Guitar:
The traditional way of learning guitar usually goes something like this:
you either
A) Buy a bunch of books
or
B) Watch a bunch of YouTube videos/take lessons from "apps" or "video subscriptions"
You practice all of this random stuff in the hopes that one day you will be where you want to be. I tried teaching myself in this exact way.
While DVD's, books, and the famed "YouTube Lessons" can be great, the results of such practice is usually much smaller than getting professional help. In fact, it can take years to start seeing any real changes in your playing.
Why this doesn’t work
1. You’re not learning how to play to get better
2. You’re not learning how to tie it all together
3. You’re not learning the necessary strategies that makes your playing sound great
You're not actually fixing any problems at all! Just adding to them!
Most media platforms are actually good at giving you information, but something they will NEVER be able to do is train you on all of the major details that have the biggest impact on how you progress.
Almost every time trying to teach yourself this way leads to overwhelm and quitting due to frustration.
So, what's the best solution then? It's easy! Find and learn from a professional guitar teacher.
Here's what will happen when you follow my Cleburne guitar lessons program:
"Blake is such a talented teacher. He makes sure that every lesson is specifically designed to meet your individual needs. He takes the time to get to know your personal goals and then does everything he can to help you reach them. I’m so happy with the progress I’ve made. Would highly recommend giving Blake a try if you’ve ever wanted to play guitar!! He’s the best there is!" -Shannon W.
"I definitely recommend The Cleburne Guitar Dojo! Great way to get out of the box and the rut some of us dig ourselves into." -Chris B.
"If you want to sound like George Lynch, BB King or Slash take these guitar lessons!!!" -Christian W.
What you need is not a generic plan, but a plan that fits YOU:
I know EXACTLY what it's like to feel frustrated about the guitar. I've been there. I've helped many people just like you overcome their challenges and achieve everything they could dream on the guitar. You won't find the answers in any book or in any video, but with a personal teacher who has been exactly where you are right now:
- Learn the way YOU learn
- Achieve visible results that will allow you to play all of your favorite songs
- Ease all the frustration with step by step training with a specialized teacher
"Blake is really good at what he does. He really knows how to break things down for you to understand and helps with finger placement to make transitioning between chords a lot easier. As a first time guitar player I have to say I am extremely happy with the progress he has helped me achieve in the short amount of time I have been his student." - Carmel C.
If you've been playing music for a while, you might be familiar with plateauing. Getting stuck at a certain skill level and never getting any better and actually starting to decline.
