HOLY COW ARE THESE PEOPLE KIDDING?(guitar related)
 

Well heres the story...
I've recently wanted to play the guitar because ya know I need a hobby to fill the time so I was gonna get some lessons. The thing is the lessons cost $15 bucks per half hour and I was like wtf? I had no idea that they would be this expensive. Are they always like that expensive?

That seems a little expensive. $30 an HOUR? Jeeze man, just download some tabs and learn yourself. I learned by buying guitar mags and playing along with tunes.

Is that alot, 30? IMO, that sounds cheap. I took drum lessons for 22 bucks an hour.

well, my trumpet lessons cost $17 for a half-hour. So, yeah, private lessons are very expensive...especially if they are with someone who plays professionlly.

yea, i learned by taking a song i knew by heart (deftones), and finding the tab...and figured the tab out, and played it...now i can tear it up wink:

Thats what I was talking about I was like are you kidding? I was expecting like maybe 20 bucks per hour... Gimme a break I'm only in highschool I'm not made of money

just find a mate who knjows a little about the instrument and get him to fill u in on the basics... thts all i did

.. and i'm getting pretty good now biggrin:

i took guitar lessons a while ago and they were not that much, maybe 10 an hr

Just hang around a friend or two that plays well, and just learn that way. I have several friends who are awesome on guitar.

The problem is I don't have any friends that play guitar, oh well I'll have to figure it out myself.

here this is really good for beginners. i learned how to play guitar from this guy

hop on kazza search for "yngwie maimsteen instructional video"

Yeah, they are a bit spendy. I took them once a week for about two months...enough to learn the fundamentals. Then I taught myself from there.

bah, i tried taking an instrument. But ive had a bad memory since Jan '00, so i always forgot notes and how to play without a book, so i just quit. I took it because we had practices during class evil:

But i sucked, so i quit
