It’s many a young boys guitar dream—to take some rock lessons, practice like crazy, and become a guitar god —not to mention make a million dollars. I’ve been teaching guitar for a long time and I can lay it all out for you, exactly what you need to do to fulfill your desires. You need a plan of attack and here it is. Now before I let you in on the plan of attack, understand that there are many “music purists” out there who would recommend that you learn to read notes and learn all about “music theory.” I’m telling you that it’s not necessary. Learn to play and get rich first then you can hire the best teachers around, learn to read notes and pick up the theory.
Here is my plan in a nutshell, guaranteed to work.
(1)Learn some scales as well as how and when to use them.
(2)Learn some licks. “They”say you should eventually master about one-hundred.
(3)Learn techniques and tricks. These put the icing on the cake, so to speak.
(4)Practice at least two hours a day—good practice—get fast. Think of anyone you know who is really successful, whether it be a musician, an attorney, doctor, athlete or automobile mechanic. How much time does he or she put in learning or actually practicing his/her trade? Comparatively speaking, two hours is certainly not too much to ask.
Of course not! It’s going to be a way of life for you and a good life at that. Playing the guitar is going to be your trade! Get some Lessons and start to rock that guitar!
