Guitar Lesson of the Day- How To Find The Right Instructor

Finding the right teacher or instructor can be challenging depending on your level of playing, music style and seriousness of your playing. As i mentioned I have taken a few lessons from time to time. One of the main reasons I never stayed with one teacher was lack of interest in what they have to teach. A good instructor will cater to his or her students, helping them achieve the level of playing they strive for, and keeping it interesting at the same time.

For example, in most cases, if your a rock player or metal player for example, and your instructor is highly into jazz, and thats what he pushes on his students, you will probably lose interest fast. A good instructor will be open to teaching you things YOU want to learn, or giving you lessons that pertain to your style.

I suggest, if your going to spend money on lessons, make sure the person teaching you is knowledgable, has experience, and of course, is at a higher level of playing than yourself. Now Keep in mind, you can learn from EVERYONE, even those with less experience than you, but if your gonna pay, you want a return on your money. Make sure to ask alot of questions at your first meeting with the instructor to get a good idea if he or she is right for you. As always, i hope this lesson helped you on your journey to the top, and Keep Rockin!!!!!
