Advice needed.

Hey DU Musicians,

I'm looking for a guitar teacher who's willing to take me on as a student. I could sure use your advice, I'm in my 40's and I'd like to hire someone to help achieve my goal. I tend to learn best in a Face to Face setting, which is impossible for now.

Would appreciate your advice. This is important to me.

but you might want to check your local alternative media resources to see if anyone is advertising to teach. With so many musicians unable to perform due to the coronavirus, a number of them are turning towards offering lessons to aspiring learners.

Don't sign any contracts with anyone until you are comfortable working with your musical mentor.

Who taught themselves you mostly get there by practice and growing calluses on your finger tips.. They knew basic music and wanted to learn.

My younger Son was taught to play Mother Maybelles Wildwood Flower by a clasicly trained daughter of the owner where he bought his first guitar.

If you have the desire you can do it.
