Sure, the acoustic guitar has its own unique sound and is fun to play, but nothing can ever compare to playing electric guitar.
If you’re starting lessons later in life, don’t worry: you’re never too young to play the electric guitar!
Learning to play is probably easier than you think. Still, you need to be dedicated, committed, and motivated to the electric guitar. If you’re not fired up and motivated every single day, you will never learn to play more than a simple song or two.
You must make a big commitment to this amazing instrument. You need to set up daily goals and weekly plans, and you must meet them. If you’re willing to do as such, you will truly learn how to play an electric guitar.
Follow these four steps:
1. Get yourself an electric guitar.
2. Find a quiet place to practice.
3. Find a good home study course or a private teacher.
The first two steps are pretty obvious. You’re going to need an electric guitar and a place in which you can play it. This place can even be your own bedroom. The third step is to locate a private electric guitar teacher or a home study course. What’s the fourth step?
The fourth step should be obvious: PRACTICE!

So, what’s the best option for guitar lessons for you?
Now, there’s a wide array of options for learning electric guitar, ranging from private lessons to print books and from DVD’s to e-books. There are also software games that will teach you how to play! Some are top-notch resources while others are a waste of money. You need to be very careful when choosing.
Many new electric guitarists put their trust in a private instructor. There’s nothing wrong with that; the majority of private instructors work at music shops and are obviously talented musicians who can play the guitar really well. It’s tough to beat that kind of resource because they will sit down next to you and help you work on one-on-one skills.
The major drawbacks, however, are that private instructors charge a lot of money, and the lessons themselves are huge time commitments. You can expect a few half hour lessons every week along with “homework”. As for price, you will be paying AT LEAST $15-$16 per thirty minute electric guitar lesson!
If you’ve the money and time, then by all means, take this route!
However, you need to understand that this isn’t your only option. It’s not the end of the world if you don’t learn anything from a private instructor. Some of the best guitarists in the world learned by themselves!
Bookstores and the internet will provide just as much—if not more—information on how to play as a private instructor would. Many of these resources provide:
- An overview of the electric guitar and its features
- Lessons on playing
- Instruction on tuning
- Guitar tabs for a variety of songs
- Advanced tricks and techniques
Learn & Master Guitar is by far one of the most popular choices. It’s a course that provides a CD/DVD/book set with all the info you’ll need for playing electric guitar. This course is also cheaper than lessons with a private instructor.
Once you get your electric guitar, practice space, and lesson plan, you will then be able to truly learn how to play!
Each instructor or lesson will teach you in a different way. All you have to do is follow their guidelines and practice every day. There are a few things that all resources will teach you, however, including:
- How to strum evenly
- Resting your left thumb on the bottom part of the neck, not the top.
- Working on rhythm and gaining familiarity with the way each string sounds
- Keeping the finger close—but not on—the fret bar.
- Pressing down hard on the string when playing a chord or note.
