Big Time Hunters

Are you on a lookout to find the most effective and reliable source of teaching guitar? Well, there are a few qualities that you need to look for in your guitar trainer – technical expertise, remarkably high patience levels, ability to answer your queries, support you at times when you feel low and are frustrated with your slow progress, indefatigable nature (to repeat the same thing over and over until you are confident that you have mastered that particular aspect of guitar training), must not charge unreasonably high fees, must be easily available whenever you need help with technique and a few other minor requirements like teaching in an interest and non-monotonous manner. Well, that’s quite a long list, huh? But is it feasible to find such a guitar teacher who possesses all these virtues?

Let us consider the scenario if you opt for a private guitar trainer in order to learn master guitar. Firstly, the teacher would charge an inexorably high fee for conducting private classes at your home for you.
 Secondly, the patience levels can vary from person to person. So, you never know whether you will be allowed to learn at your own pace or be rushed through the class, which greatly disrupts your learning process.

Thirdly, availability at the time of your need is impossible – you cannot expect to get constant technical guidance and support whenever you sit down with your guitar for practice. Another very significant problem is that you might not even find a private guitar tutor in your locality in the first place, so you would need to shift your base to a place located near to your guitar tutor’s home or institute.

Therefore, in order to avoid such problems, more and more number of people are opting for Guitar books and virtual guitar trainers these days.

Most guitar books are not very helpful because guitar playing is a practical skill and needs more of practical training and guidance than written instructions. Moreover, it becomes quite difficult to refer to the book and play the notes. Just imagine how helpful would the printed book be in explaining the concept of rhythm and melody or in teaching you how to play different notes, chords, progressions, small songs, guitar licks or riffs? Therefore, many great guitar experts and professionals agree that guitar books have a limited role to play in teaching you how to play this instrument.

So, we are left with the option of online courses and DVDs. Well, there is a plethora of information available on the net about “learning to play guitar”. There are thousands of websites devoted to teaching guitar but most of them are hopeless and contain all assorted topics collected from different sources. But there is one excellent virtual instructional package – Learn and Master Guitar with Steve Krenz, which is highly reliable and contains all the qualities that you are looking for in the guitar teacher of your choice.

The instructor Steve Krenz has a degree in music and is a great guitar maestro. In fact he is considered by many as the ultimate Rock God and his technical expertise is widely acclaimed. With the DVD series Learn and Master Guitar you can get professional guidance and support through an online student support portal, to help you at times when you feel low and are frustrated with your slow progress. In addition you get 20 professionally produced DVDs (which clearly explain and demonstrate each lesson in an interesting and non-monotonous manner, punctuated by songs and free guitar licks to take the pressure off the student while learning to play), 5 Jam-Along CDs (where you get an opportunity to jam-along and play the guitar lead or just play the rhythm along with a real band). You also get a free lesson workbook containing several songs and exercises, which allows you to learn at your own pace. So you can now learn playing guitar right from the comfort of your home and you get all this at a fraction of the cost of what you pay to a private guitar tutor.
