Summer Fun Activity: Guitar Lessons

Tweet

My son chose to enroll in guitar lessons this summer break. He already has 2 guitars, one is in Manila and I bought another one here in the province. I bought the second guitar last summer break when I enrolled him in guitar and piano lessons. Those lessons were unsuccessful because one: he keeps complaining that his fingers hurt after each guitar lesson and two: he didn't practice when we got back home in Manila so he completely forgot his lessons.

But this year he's getting good in playing the guitar. Maybe because I didn't choose what he should enroll in. He also asked his teacher to help him learn "Crash" by Matt Willis, a song featured on the movie "Mr. Bean's Holiday". He gets to play the songs that he likes and he now loves playing the guitar. My niece, who’s taking piano lessons might buy a guitar or a banduria because she wants to learn how to play another musical intrument this summer break. RJ wants to learn how to play the drums. Maybe next year, we’ll see.

Basic Guitar Lessons

I want to learn how to play the guitar. Well, my mom did enroll me in a guitar class when I was in grade school. But when I was done with the lessons, I didn't practice and then I just completely forgot everything that I learned in that class.

Now I'm trying to learn it on my own. My son's guitar is a bit small so I'm planning to buy a pink or light blue guitar for myself. I downloaded apps on my iPod but it wasn't good enough. I searched on youtube and was able to find some useful tutorials. Here is a video series of learning the basics on how to play the guitar.
