You're Not Alone. I Too Struggled To Learn
I remember learning electric guitar on my own, looking at things on the internet, and even taking Wausau, WI, guitar lessons with local teachers. I felt frustrated, overwhelmed and lost. Many of my students, before taking lessons with me felt the same! Although, it doesn't have to be this way. With the right information and the right training at the right time, the frustration and struggle will melt away.
Want To Know Why Learning Guitar these ways DOESN'T WORK?
Learning From UNTRAINED Teachers
Learning from an untrained guitar teacher is like shooting in the dark. One teacher could be good or very bad. MOST guitar TEACHERS ARE NOT TRAINED how to teach guitar lessons. Untrained teachers, teach out of books or they come up with things on the spot. The teacher doesn't have a plan for you based on what you want to achieve. So this is why you may feel you know a lot of stuff but still have a hard time playing guitar the way you want. With other guitar lessons in Wausau, WI, you will get some Q&A and feedback, but the checking for understanding doesn’t happen until a week, or more, later. This means tons of wasted time practicing wrong. Frustration builds because you could have forgotten what the teacher said or you misunderstood the lesson. Then, after that long week all you will hear is “Oh you are playing that wrong” AFTER A WHOLE WEEK!!! This happens because other guitar teachers in Wausau have never been trained how to teach electric guitar lessons or acoustic guitar lessons.
Learning Guitar Online
​Through websites like YouTube and even paid websites you get tons of information but your missing a key part in learning guitar. Feedback and training. The information you get can be at the wrong time, and in some cases incorrect information can really get you stuck in your guitar playing. This could lead to bad habits, massive frustration, a TON of WASTED TIME or even worse you quit playing the guitar all together because you get overwhelmed.
Learning Guitar From Books
Books present topics to the learners in a linear way. Meaning you will spend a very long time on one topic or one part of your guitar playing and never move to another topic that is needed. Up front that seems great, you stay on one topic until you master it! Answer this question: "do you like feeling like a beginner?" most would answer no. That is how you will feel once you move to a different topic after "mastering" only one. That is because you have spent all this time working on only one part of your guitar playing so you may feel good about that one topic but once you go to another you will feel like a beginner. It can cause you to feel like you are not growing fast, that's because the approach is wrong. You need to be taught in a geometric way.
Teaching Yourself Guitar
Teaching yourself is one of the slowest, most frustrating paths to take. The problem with teaching yourself is you don't know what you don't know. So If you don't have a game plan, and a direction as to what, how, and where to learn things you will be lost.
Why These Methods DO NOT WORK
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
There is no feedback, Q&A, or checking for understanding. All you get is the information. Another problem is getting information at the wrong time FOR YOU, and in some cases wrong information altogether. This could lead to bad habits, frustration, or even worst quitting the guitar all together!

No Q&A
No Checking For Understanding

“Before taking lessons for electric guitar with Dakota I tired taking lessons on youtube, 'A do it your self kinda thing'. It was very overwhelming because it has so much content and it was hard to pin point what was important to learn first and second" -Becky
