Dream On And Take Charge Like A Guitar Superstar

By Eric J. Griffiths


The only thing constant about the music industry is that change happens. Lead singers change, band members change, instruments change, managers change, labels change, and management changes. In such an environment, a musician may find his or her growth as an artist is compromised. You might not be where you would like to be as far as your abilities. The good news is that you can take charge of your development. Learning to shred like guitar superstars is easier than ever before.

Old school independent study was all about correspondence courses. Colleges and universities followed the approach of books and mailing in assignments. The internet transformed this concept to offer broader and more varied online education. The online educational concept is also available to musicians. Musicians can also develop their abilities and their careers.

Obtaining guitar lessons can involve a lot of variables for those in the market to consider. Finding a teacher is just the start. You have to figure out what kind of instructor background is a match. As much as a band is born every day, someone steps into the spotlight to be a guitar teacher. Teachers can be made, some can be born, but not all are capable of turning out guitar musicians.

All teachers are not created equal. Some teachers are not good at translating the methods of teaching to others. They might be players but they might not be good at demonstrating or helping a student pick up skills. Some may be teachers by default of being unable to make a living as a musician. There is the adage about those who can, doing, and those who cannot, teaching.

Personal instruction also highlights the fact that time is money. Typically, students reserve blocks of thirty minutes to sixty minutes of time. Musicians who are serious and want to study and practice as much as possible, may soon realize how expensive a traditional approach to study can become. The cost of studying with an experienced music instructor can be compromised when your funds are limited. To gain additional training time for whatever reason, whether remedial or not, is less focused when you are concerned about billing. If you need remedial training in an area, you might be forced to settle for less than exceptional skills.

Unlike real life training, online guitar training options allow students to rewind and revisit study areas. Time spent reviewing and working on problem areas or on areas in which you want to become exceptional, do not sideline further progress until your next lesson. That lesson may be the following week. With online education, your studies do not have to lag behind. You are not paying for remedial training.

In any occupation, career or endeavor where a task is performed, practice can improve your skills. When you study at home, you can practice anywhere, anytime, even during inclement weather. Cancellations and schedule changes will also not hinder your progress. In fact, setting your own personal training schedule will further support your learning, retention and long term goals.

Students can maximize their training strategy by using self-paced training to supplement or replace a real-life personal instructor. Students can design their own training curriculum. Lessons can set up to achieve particular learning objectives. Students can learn from experienced guitarists. Students can master aspects of guitar playing by taking control of your own education. Students can effectively and efficiently bridge the gap between themselves and guitar superstars.
