Teach Yourself Acoustic Guitar
Can you teach yourself acoustic guitar? It's a common scenario - you see a guy strumming an acoustic guitar, maybe doing some fingerstyle playing and you think, "How hard can acoustic guitar be?" Maybe you could just teach yourself enough to play some folk songs. It could be just a dream, but there's no harm in trying.
If you want to teach yourself acoustic guitar, it would be very handy to be able to call on a friend to help you with stuff like chord changes or finger picking patterns. Then, if you have the time to practice, you will be able to teach yourself. Working on challenges buy yourself can sometimes be more useful than having somebody show you.
First you need an acoustic guitar. Don't spend too much money on your first one, wait and see how your style and musical preferences develop. If you have money to throw around, start looking at, say, a Takamine for around a thousand dollars. Make the first day of looking at guitars a trip around music stores and secondhand dealers to see what's available.
Wherever you can, try the guitars out. See how the different brands feel and decide whether you want to teach yourself acoustic guitar on a nylon string or steel string guitar. A nylon string will be kinder to your fingers while you are learning but you might find later that you prefer the volume and sound quality of a steel string acoustic guitar.
Where do you go for material to teach yourself acoustic guitar? Some tablature of Bob Dylan songs would be a good start, but there are easy songs by other artists you could learn. There will be suitable songs in the tutor section of a guitar store but you can download guitar tabs and chord charts from the internet for free.
If you are a complete guitar novice, you might want to learn some chords and practice changing them before you start learning songs. Don't get too into learning a mountain of chords and no songs, though. Playing songs will help you learn chord changing and it's encouraging to hear yourself playing a familiar song.
Once you have a song or two that you can play right through, it would help you immensely to start jamming with other people who play acoustic guitar. Apart from the fact that they can give you tips on how to play, the very act of learning to keep up with a singer or another guitarist will flatten the learning curve.
An additional thing to think about when you teach yourself acoustic guitar is the need for exercises to get your hands working and make your playing more versatile. If you do an internet search for licks, riffs and strumming patterns and use them as part of your regular practice, you will find it will boost your confidence.
