Choosing the right way to approach how you learn and understand the guitar is all about the lessons you take and the material you study. It can be quite an overwhelming experience to get to the personal playing goals that you desire and aspire to when you are having a difficult time comprehending the various methods that you have tried in order to move forward on your instrument.

The guitar instruction method you choose as a beginner,Acoustic Or Electric Guitar Visual Learning Course Articles intermediate, or advanced rock, metal, blues, or classical student to learn and practice chords and progressions, scales and modes, lead soloing, songwriting and music theory is critical to an easy, fast, accelerated way to understand the guitar.  You need software to learn at home without going to a music school or private instruction that has the tools and teaching all in a single interactive program.

For example, a guitar player will often ask if a program is for the acoustic guitar or electric guitar.  Perhaps they are interested in classical theory versus rock theory.  Of course we explain that there is no significant difference and there should be none between either types of guitar or the learning path one takes depending on the style.  Short of the fact that there are some tricks, such as distorted amplification on an electric guitar, that is different, but a hammer-on can be done on either acoustic or electric.  So it is important for you not to get caught up in the misleading marketing claims to learn one type of guitar versus the other.

Sometimes the guitar player gets a little so focused on the instrument, that they haven't really asked themselves if  a modal scale pattern is actually played differently on an acoustic guitar fretboard from one on an electric guitar, or that the tonal tensions and tonality being expressed is somehow different musically or theoretical from one instrument versus the other.  This applies to blues versus rock, or jazz versus metal.  The speed of the guitar lines played, or the level of musical expressiveness may or may not be different but the core essentials are the same.

Blues guitar arpeggios or chords are what compared to metal arpeggios or chords, which are different from rock arpeggios or chords? Which really are of no interest to those interested in funk arpeggios or chords because even funk scales are of course totally different from metal scales.  Hopefully you see that sometimes we over think too much based on styles versus fundamentals.

Guitar students don't feel that they can find a program that delivers the kind of serious education they need.  Until they have experienced a great guitar learning program, most guitar students simply can't comprehend one actually exists until they have tried it and realize there is guitar software that is far more intense but clearer and more rewarding than anything they have used prior.
