Guitar Lessons At Sheffield Guitar Studio
Why Guitar Lessons?
Why indeed!
​
Do you feel frustrated with your playing?
​
Do you feel like you are stuck in a rut and can't move forward?
​
Do you want to learn something new but don't know how to go about learning it?
​
Are you a complete beginner, overwhelmed with all the information available online and don't know where to start?
If you answered YES to any of these questions then guitar lessons are for you. Good guitar lessons should be more than teaching you how to play your favourite songs. They should help you with the things that you personally need help with to achieve the things that you want to be able to do, whether this be playing songs for yourself or with friends or writing your own music or playing live in a band.
​
Guitar Lessons Should Help You In Four Key Areas
1. PLAY
​
Good guitar lessons should help you to develop the techniques needed to get the sounds that you want out of your guitar.
3. UNDERSTAND
​
Good guitar lessons should help you to understand the music that you are making so that you not only can make the music that you want to make but also relate them to the theory in a helpful way.
2. PRACTICE
​
Good guitar lessons should show you exactly what you need to do between lessons to make the most of your time and progress quickly.
​
​
4. LEARN
​
Good guitar lessons should help to remove the frustration of not being able to do what you want to do. Part of this is knowing what to learn, when to learn, it, how effectively learn it so that you can use it when you need it. Ultimately this removes the need for lessons entirely making you a self reliant musician.
