xEoMxMoAxx · Aug 6, 2007, 07:10 AM

I would like to learn guitar this year, just a few questions though. Is it very hard to learn and is the equipment really expensive. also what the best way to learn from a teacher a book or a computer program?

Oh and guitar hero never hurt anyone

Well, it hurt people who think it's anything like playing a guitar

Please excuse my naiveté. But, what is Guitar Hero? I have heard it mentioned previously on another thread.

a game for consoles where you are a guitarist. You have to buy a guitar controller and its fun. I use it to get me in the mood for learning the guitar, i suck, so when i play the game i feel like a champion. lol

Thank you for your explanation. Now I see Capuchin's rationale for the answer that he gave.

It's 5 buttons on the neck and you have a strummer type thing at the base and there's a whammy bar too, but it's more about rhythm than any kind of technique or musicianship.

That's the guitar hero 2 controller.

first learning from friends and yourself, it's free. Second, practicing on some books and music-sheet (just a few bucks). Finally, Learning from 3 of them: yours, books - computer stuffs, and a good teacher. Good luck.

honestly brother i think guitar is the easiest instrument there is to learn, i tought myself with no instruction at all its that simple (well to learn the basics anyway) i just sat there one day staring at a tab i found on the net, figured it out and went from there, and no for a begginer its not too expensive at all u can get a deacent starter guitar for like $100 in stores, its obviously not gunna be greatest guitar on the market but more than suitable to learn on and tips on ways to learn ummm dvd's seem to work really good, its defitally alot eaiser than reading a book or something on computer because somebodys acctually showing you what to do, can pause, stop and rewind anything and you can buy the dvds at any music store for maybe around $15

good luck
