We all need a creative outlet to express ourselves, and if poetry, writing, and making art aren’t your things, then why not pick up an instrument like the guitar instead?
Even if you don’t feel a strong urge to create, there’s something about playing an instrument that many people can’t do without.
For many, the guitar symbolises so much more than an instrument that produces pleasant sounds.
It’s a cultural icon, a facilitator of romantic gestures, and a way of connecting with others.
Let’s head to Spain for a moment to see what the guitar can mean for a culture or a group of people.
In the south of Spain, in the region of Andalusia, flamenco is an art form appreciated by all.
The base parts of flamenco are as follows:
Each person contributes equally to the overall performance, and watching the guitarist stay in sync with the dancer during the performance is quite a spectacle. In this context, the guitar provides a melody to accompany the visual, varying in pace from one moment to the next, demanding an incredible amount of dexterity and improvisation.
As such, in Andalusia, the guitar is revered as an essential ingredient for any flamenco performance. It sets the mood of the room, and at times dictates the pace and rhythm of the performance for the audience.
You could contrast this example with the lead guitarist in a rock or metal band, and you’d start to see just how versatile the guitar can be.
Aside from what a guitar can add to a performance, there are also the skills you pick up along the way as you learn. For example, it requires a great deal of focus and discipline to stick with the instrument, and your time management needs to be spot on if you’re to make regular progress.
When you pick up the guitar, you can either work with a tutor or learn it all by yourself.
Needless to say, going it alone is by far the most difficult option, for many reasons.
Going it alone requires a lot of courage, motivation, and discipline. To go this route, you need to be sure that you can stick with the instrument even when you reach a plateau or get stuck on a particular technique. You’ll have no guide to show you the way out, so it’ll be all on you to figure out the road to success.
When you work with a tutor, you have a lot more freedom to make mistakes as there’ll be a safety net in place to catch you. A tutor can help provide accountability so you show up and put the work in every day, but he can also teach you how to make progress with personalised feedback and insights that would be hard to come to by yourself.
The moment you decide to start learning guitar, you may feel full of hope and optimism that within a few months you’ll be playing your favourite tracks and jamming with your friends in the garage.
However, if you don’t reach these goals as quickly as you hoped, your motivation can fade quickly.
This is the biggest challenge of learning to play the guitar: it’s easy to quit after the honeymoon period wears off and you encounter real adversity.
To make sure that you don’t end up as just another person with an old guitar gathering dust in the corner of your room, hire a top tutor and stay on the path by focusing on the process of playing and drawing motivation from within.
If you want to work with a guitar tutor locally, and you live in Leicester or nearby, head to the Superprof website and use the search filters to find a good fit for you.
You’ll also have the flexibility of choosing whether you want to work with a tutor in person or stick with online classes.e
