Should i buy a guitar and learn from the internet or learn from a music school. Pls enlighten me. im from Ipoh btw. Anyone know where can learn to play a guitar. thanks

If you got money and time, why not go for lesson where you can learn correctly

haha, if you got the money really, go for classes. its a good kickstart. then only you decide whether to continue or not after 2-3 months.

the only place i know off in Ipoh which provides lesson is Ebony. But the boss sucks big time :S

proper school or a proper teacher.

learn it yourself if ure really commited to your instrument.

i learned to play the guitar myself...since 1993.as a schoolboy back then i loved the guitar.

nowadays just sitback and jam to my accoustic. my electric era died when pearl jam did.hahaha.

Plus... if you want to learn guitar, go to a music school.

You cannot be smart without going to school. (I mean, in some particular ways).

i know where is Ebony. My friend bought guitar from there. i thought they are selling guitar only. got teach 1? + usually how much is the fee? im very free. got daily class ?

Normally fees are RM100 per month (standard from most music school) + RM20 registration. Usually one class in a day.

Keep in mind that one class in a week is quite a lot because practicing hours are always depends on yourself of how much you practice after the class. In the class, you will learn a technique or two that requires you to practice a lot. So it is good that you are free, so make sure you practice everyday at least an hour.

But I dont really look the people there. Kinda arrogant, wont simply let you touch their guitar

Guitar Collection and The Guitar Store are like that. Well, nowadays got a few more other shops will not let you to simply touch their guitars.

Ask for staff permission, this should be formal and polite..

why not do both? Taking classes will help get your techniques right and motivation.
Search through youtube, you will find some really good lessons and best of all learning on your own pace.
If you could find, guitar DVDs are pretty good too.

Good but I think every teacher should tell their students to do their own research.

lol
since you're so "free"
why dont you call them up and ask?
AFAIK there's different kinda package that you can get from them. do enquire
but again, the boss suck biggg time

maybe i'll go and ask next week. just ebony is giving guitar lesson at ipoh. no other places? btw if i want to buy my first guitar, i should go for the cheap one or more than RM100 one?

go for decent wan is safest bet if you're serious about playing the guitar.
maybe a budget about rm300?

lick library

dun got for the super cheap one, even the $90 ones suck. it suck in terms of tone but it suck in terms or hardware and the build quality. cos i got a santa crus RM$90 i can get a decent tuning, intonation, etc...etc.. right. the string action also very high makes playing really hard. get a entry level accoustics should set u back 300-400 and will last u a long time. before u decide u wanna buy a 3k-4k guitar. bring a friend that plays guitar a long and hear it when he plays and hold the guitar and make sure it feels good in your hand before u decide to buy.

but my friend also not too pro. they are using rm70 guitar

for me...
self learning first..
then only go for proper teacher for advanced learning...

any good website that teach how to play a guitar?

I suggest u try learning some simple song by reading tabs. That way u can practice ur finger movement and be familiar with simple chords. Use Guitarpro software and the .gp files can be downloaded for free at ultimate-guitar.com.

u dun need to follow by $70 ones right? the yamaha seems to be a good one to start off with tho

youtube has lots of good videos to practice... might not get some stuff that teachers will tell you (experience and stuff)....but yeah, most self taught guitarists go there.

I'd recommend getting a tcher tho, will probably speed the learning process up much faster. Provided you practice diligently too

anyone from ipoh here? can part time teach me how to play?

ipoh so far away. come down to subang, ill teach u

now I am trying to get a guitar first
(two kapoks has warped and cracked )

youtube is a very good source to learn play guitar

but i think you need some one to teach you the basics first, up close and personal

I am from butterworth, penang

but too bad i am very-very lazy to go around....

start of with basic open chords Am, E, D, C F G
