Acoustic Guitar DVD Lessons: Be Aware Of Your Potential

By Dhani Johnson

As a beginner learning to play the guitar can seem like a pretty steep hill to climb. There are notes and chords to learn and correct finger placement and technique to establish. Don't be discouraged to quickly by letting these things get you frustrated.

If you are just beginning acoustic guitar, then you have taken the first step towards a very rewarding and interesting hobby. I have been playing acoustic guitar for nearly 20 years, and I can honestly tell you, looking back, I have never regretted the hours of sweat and toil I have put into it. "Sweat and toil?", you ask. Well yes, I'm afraid so.

MAKE A COMMITMENT RIGHT NOW TO CONSISTENTLY PRACTICE YOUR GUITAR. Now, this is the point where practicing the guitar can be like a diet...it works for a little while, and yet you eventually fall back into the old habits that you are used to. Dieting is not what we want here.

Look, you need to get yourself a guitar tutor to show you the scales. They won't help your broken heart, they won't BUY you a guitar...but if you got those first two covered, then all you need to do is learn the scales right?

If that describes you, if you are just learning the guitar or only recently desired to learn to play guitar, these sites are perfect for you. Oftentimes through these types of online guitar lesson sites that are geared to novices you can become exposed to a wide range of different techniques, including things like the funk-skunk. Beyond websites that are up and running to assist novices, there are interactive sites that can be a great resource for a person who is interested in learning basic or even more advanced guitar playing techniques.

Also, there are larger sites that offer a wide range of different types of educational tools to assist you in learning guitar online. For example, these sites might offer to you video presentations that can assist you when it comes to learning guitar, including such techniques and practices as finger picking.

These are songs that everybody in the world knows the words to, or at least they can fake it. Some artists that are always popular at singalongs are James Taylor, Leonard Cohen and Greenday. Oh, and maybe Suzanne Vega. Billy Joel's "Piano Man" and "Captain Jack" are songs that get a crowd going but maybe you need some vocal skills for those.

Here's a few suggestions from a wide range of artists and genres. "Feel" and "Angels" by Robbie Williams, "American Pie" by Don McLean, "From the Beginning" by Emerson Lake and Palmer, "Cecilia" by Simon and Garfunkel, "Feelin' Groovy" by Simon and Garfunkel, "Blowin In The Wind" by Bob Dylan, "Big Yellow Taxi" by Joni Mitchell, "More Than Words" by Extreme, "Under The Bridge" by Red Hot Chilli Peppers, "Yellow Submarine" by The Beatles, "House Of The Rising Sun" by The Animals, "Wild Thing" by The Troggs and "Runaway" by The Corrs. These are songs that everybody in the world knows the words to, or at least they can fake it. - 18758
