The most important thing I remember from my teacher was that he told me always focus on what I was hearing, not reading. It was easier for me to learn guitar with my ears and not so much with my eyes.

Teaching is really fun! However, there is a huge drop out rate I’d like to know some techniques to keep students going! Thanks

Even if you haven’t been playing long yourself, you can teach guitar – if you have the patience and really want to help people learn. Focus on beginners when you first start because your current level of knowledge will certainly be of benefit to them. As your own playing develops, you will have more to offer intermediate players too.

Hey! This is a great topic! Teaching guitar and playing guitar are too totally different things! You may think you can teach. But, there is so much you forgot about. Like how difficult it really was to get your fingers and hands to move that way. I learned the hard way. Teaching was very difficult for me at first. When my students failed? I felt like I failed! It sucked!

That’s a great post, I’m mainly self-taught and wish I took lessons at the beginning since I would have improved so much faster… and better.

Learn some of your favorite songs. It is always best to start learning with songs you are familiar with. CleanTab.com has a great tab archive. I highly recommend their site for guitar tabs.

I agree when anyone wants to teach anyone to play the guitar getting the students is the easiest part. It is difficult to know what to teach when they are there. I think we should teach a student as per his or her needs.
