Beginners.
Begin here!
When complete beginners
ask if there's anything on AGW for them, the answer is qualified.
Sure there are
players out there who teach themselves from the ground up. They
have a natural and instinctive grasp of the guitar.
But it's equally
valid to say that a lot of people who are complete beginners would
benefit from a few lessons in the real world with a good guitar
teacher before they can really take advantage of AGW's online
and CD tuition programmes.
There's a wealth
of material available online but total beginners may well find
that a few 'real world' lessons will arm them with the necessary
chops to take advantage of these facilities better.
It's really upto
the individual to decide. But why not download the articles to
the right that were commissioned by Acoustic
Magazine to address this very subject of Beginning Acoustic
guitar.
