Course Structure

For the longest time, you mull over what musical instrument you wanted to learn to play and have finally decided to take up the guitar.The next question is what type of guitar?

Objective: Classical or Acoustic?
Before signing up for a guitar course, it is important to know what your objective is so that you choose the type of guitar that plays the songs of your choice.
If you are taking up guitar as a career choice, then the classical guitar (nylon strings) will be the type of guitar you need for the practical exams.
The acoustic guitar (steel strings) is for leisure playing ie entertaining friends or just for fun.

The Game Plan: Group or Individual
The next step is to go for guitar lessons either in a group or individually depending on your preference.

The Home Run:
To win the game ie to be dammed good in playing the guitar, all you need is a good mentor in your choice of the guitar instructor and your own effort in consistent and regular practice.
