Have you ever tried taking guitar lessons and ended up quitting infrustration, because you felt you weren't making enough progress? Or perhapsyou have considered taking guitar lessons but because someone you know had adisappointing experience with a guitar teacher, you began to doubt if lessonsare worth investing your time and money. This perception prevents you fromgetting all that you want from your guitar lessons. There can be many reasons why people quit guitar lessons. Sometimes it isbecause the teacher failed to inspire you, or because the lessons weren'tfocused enough on your specific musical goals, or because the teacher was onlymediocre and didn't know how to help you achieve a specific result. (To avoidthis problem download this free guide about how to choose aguitar teacher) However, another (often misunderstood) reason might be thatyour own approach to guitar lessons wasn't as effective as it needed to be inorder for you to make real progress.After teaching tens of thousands of music lessons to all types of guitaristsand also mentoring guitar teachers around the world on how to teach moreeffectively, I began to notice similar patterns used by most students forlearning to play guitar. I also noticed that the specific approach the students applied to studyingwith a teacher had a direct influence on their progress. Very often 2 differentpeople can get very different results by studying with the same guitar teacher,because the ways in which the students approached the learning process ingeneral are very different. For example, one student believed that he knewbetter than the teacher did about how to reach his musical goals and resistedsome of the instruction his teacher was giving him. It later became very clearto him that he did not know better. Click on the link to hear his story abouthow he failed to improvehis guitar skills. The other student soaked up everything his teacher wasinstructing him to do and quickly became a world class guitar virtuoso.I have found there are 3 types of students who become easily frustrated withtheir guitar lessons. As you read the rest of this article, be honest and askyourself if any of these 3 descriptions sound like you. I'll be the first toadmit that at one point I had the characteristics of each of the"ineffective student behaviors" presented below. The "Teach me something new today" student type. You maythink it is common sense that guitar lessons should consist mainly ofpresenting new content, and expect that the guitar teacher's primary job is toshow you things that are "new" to you. However, if we examine thisapproach a bit deeper, you will see that focusing "only" on seekingout new information will not bring big results long term. First of all, too much new content quickly leads to overwhelm and burn out(and does not allow enough time to apply the information you are learning).This feeling of overwhelm is what causes you to become frustrated and quitlessons (or worse yet, quit guitar). Second, simply "learning newthings" does not lead to mastery. I have had many students come to mebeing able to do some cool things on guitar. For example, they may have goodtechnique, or a good understanding of how music works, or have good ears. Butmore often than not, their ability to APPLY and INTEGRATE what they"know" to playing music was very poor. At this point, "learningmore new things" is not going to help these students to significantlyadvance their guitar playing. Simply being "aware" of a concept isnot enough. You don't truly "know" something until you can apply andintegrate it with your other musical skills fluently. When you take lessons for the first time, you may think that it is greatthat your teacher shows you something new in each lesson. But if your teacherdoes nothing else than "show you things", then as more lessons go by,you will start to notice that you are not really making any significantprogress (because no application and integration is taking place). Most peoplewill quit lessons at this point, and will continue to perpetuate the myth thatguitar lessons are ineffective, without really understanding the real reasonsfor their lack of progress. Of course, receiving new information is a part of any comprehensive lessonplan (and certainly you will learn a lot of new things by taking lessons), butit is the order in which this information is presented, and the way you aretrained to USE, APPLY and INTEGRATE that information that makes guitar lessonswith a good teacher so valuable. If learning "raw data" in a linearfashion (and practicing) was all it took to become a great musician, thenanyone could buy some books and after studying them for a few years and practicingon his/her own become a highly advanced guitarist. Of course most of the time,this doesn't happen. The moral of the story here is to remember that you came to your teacher tolearn and grow as a guitar player. In order for this to actually happen youwill need to have some patience through the process and realize that sometimeswhen you 'think you know something', you in fact may not really know it yet tothe point that you can apply it and integrate it with your other musicalskills. "The Perfectionist" The next type of student wants tomaster every little thing their teacher presents in a lesson (or that theydiscover on their own) before working on anything else. While on the surfacethis seems like a good idea, it is far from the most efficient approach to becominga great musician. Learning music is best done in a non-linear approach, meaningthat multiple things should be worked on simultaneously without stressing outabout totally mastering everything in a linear order. Discover more about whythe typical linear approach guitar players follow often fails in this videoabout how tomaster the guitar.I like to compare learning music to baking a cake. You don't make a cake bycooking one ingredient at a time and then finally putting them together wheneach one is ready. If you baked your cake in this way, it would take you a longtime to finish and more importantly the cake would not taste as good as whenthe ingredients are cooked together! The same goes for musical skills. If you waited until you became a greatvirtuoso master of technique before beginning to work on (mastering) musictheory, then turning to songwriting, and then switching to improvising, itcould take you many decades to finally become really good and your skills wouldnot likely be integrated together. What I recommend to you is to follow anon-linear approach (as described in the video above). When learning a newskill, don't wait until you completely master it; only make sure that you havethe fundamentals down and begin immediately to look for contexts to apply it.Then work on integrating this new skill with everything else that you know howto do/play. Application and integration are unique skills that must be practicedseparately. This key link will enable you to go from being "thestudent" who is able to "do lots of things" on the guitar, tobecoming a great player who can use all of his musical skills to achievecomplete musical expression. This (non-linear) approach will also prevent you from getting out of balancewith your skills and at any level of your musical development, you will be ableto apply and integrate everything you know. It is important to note that a'non-linear approach' is not an 'illogical' approach. So if you are looking fora systematic and logical approach to learning guitar, you should understandthat this systematic, geometric (non-linear) strategy IS in fact the mosteffective, most efficient and most logical path possible. The challenger This personality type often comes out in a player whohas been playing for a while and has studied with other guitar teachers in thepast. This student may come into their first lesson full of preconceived ideasabout what lessons should be like, and dictating to the teacher what and how toteach. I should clarify here that I am not talking about asking questions whenyou don't understand something or telling your teacher about your goals. Thereis a big difference between doing that, and trying to dictate to the teacherwhat and how to teach. If the student knew that much more about teaching thanthe teacher, then the student would BE the teacher, right? If you know how tosuccessfully learn guitar on your own and you are TRULY happy with yourprogress without a teacher, then maybe you don't need guitar lessons. But ifyou seek help from a qualified guitar teacher, this means you realized thatwhatever you were doing on your own wasn't working as well as you wanted it to.Therefore, you should accept the fact (or at least the high probability) thatyour guitar teacher knows many times more about guitar playing and teachingguitar than you do and can successfully teach you to play well. (Otherwise, whywould you give the teacher your money?) Of course not all guitar teachers arethe same, and some are much more qualified to teach than others. If you followthe advice I give in the guide for choosing a guitar teacher, you will be sureto find the best teacher for you. If your guitar teacher has already created many great musicians, chancesare, he knows what he is doing and will be able to help you as well. But hisability to help you will be limited (and the process will take much longer), ifyou constantly challenge everything he tells you to do. Again, asking questionsabout something you don't understand is normal, and is part of the learningprocess. But creating the overall lesson plan is your teacher's primaryresponsibility, not yours.Want to know how to choose the right teacher for you? Download the freeguide on how tochoose a guitar teacher
