Learn to Play Guitar

Learn to Play Guitar

Learning to play the guitar has never been easier. Today’s guitar methods, with learn to play CDs and DVDs, can bring world-class guitar teachers into your home for a private lesson whenever you are ready. And our books with CDs and DVDs cost less for a whole course of study than a single half-hour lesson with a live guitar teacher. When you purchase a guitar method from our leading publishers, such as Mel Bay, Alfred, Hal Leonard and others, you’re getting a method of guitar study that has proven to be effective with millions of other students. And with accompanying CDs you’ll get backup tracks that make practice fun.

We’ve got learn-to-play guitar guides for every player and goal. If you want to learn a specific style of guitar, maybe rock, funk or jazz, check out our Style Guide categories. If there’s a particular technique you want to learn or work on, maybe tapping or ear training or crosspicking, check out our Technique Guides categories. Maybe you just want to bring it all together, and work on playing better with other musicians – then check out our Playing Guides categories for items such as playing rhythm guitar or learning to improvise or solo. For libraries of licks, ricks, scales, chords or arpeggios, check out our Finder categories. For specific help with equipment check out our categories on Effects or Guitar Equipment and Maintenance, or even How to Tune the Guitar.
