How To Become The Best Guitar Player?

By Jack Wogan


Some people are looking to play guitar as a hobby, while others see in it a lifetime dream or a professional career. No matter how they perceive this activity, the process of learning is quite the same. Motivation is very important to begin with. This is why sometimes learning is left only at the theoretical level. Unfortunately without practicing no one can become a good guitar player. You should also know that you need to invest time in this if you want to play professionally.

A first tip would be considering a guitar playing course. An instructor can be very useful at least in the beginning when even the basic things might seem very difficult. You should know that playing a guitar is not learned through the same process as other activities or hobbies. Music knowledge in general and talent can only be 'stolen' from the teacher. Moreover, it is the teacher who can tell you with accuracy if you stand a chance in the music industry or whether you should play only for your close ones. He knows what needs to be improved and what you have to do to grow as a musician.

After learning the basics in class, rehearsing at home can be the next step towards becoming a good guitar player. You need to find your own way of learning, but also of playing. You need your own style, that differentiates you from the rest of the musicians. This particular style might even make you famous one day. So, don't be afraid to stand out in a crowd. As for feedback at home ask for your friends and family to help. They might be more supportive and honest than you can imagine.

Get all the information you need about your instrument and how to play it. You can use magazines, books and even websites to look for news from the industry. They can be excellent guides for you. In addition to that, these are the places where you can find out about the best instruments and the best accessories that can help you become a better guitar player.

Buy a good guitar. Without one you cannot practice guitar playing at its best. Moreover, if you sound good you might feel more motivated to go on. You will also need some accessories like amplifiers, guitar effects pedals, home recording systems and so on. With the professional instruments and accessories your sound will be the best.

If you think that this is your lifetime dream, start practicing playing guitar like a professional. Get your own recording room or even better build one in your house. The room should be soundproofed and have all the necessary equipment. The only thing you will have to do is to make sure that you are ready to be greater than Eric Clapton or Carlos Santana.
