It's pretty intuitive, but if you want to go beyond the basics to hone your existing guitar skills after a long hiatus, or you're completely new to music and want to learn to play for the first time, formal guitar training with a guitar teacher may be in order.ĭue to those aforementioned lockdowns, this may seem easier said than done. What I like most about playing guitar is that the guitar is an instrument that rewards the player - there's no feeling like writing your first song, getting a riff right, learning a guitar trick, picking up a tune by ear or earning those callouses on the tips of your fingers. I admittedly I fell away from the practice over time, but being quarantined during the coronavirus lockdown is the perfect time to pick a rusty skill back up or learn a new one.
When my parents gave me a Takamine acoustic guitar for my birthday as a teenager, I consulted those same songbooks for my first foray into guitar playing. My father played the guitar when I was growing up and always kept a stack of well-worn songbooks from Harry Chapin, Don McLean and John Prine nearby.
