The Internet in an amazing well of info and today you can learn almost anything from the comfort of your home. There are many great tutors with great eBook, Video Courses as well as Books and DVDs and you can use them to teach yourself guitar whenever you wish. You just need some determination and the world is your oyster.

After you choose a good tutorial you need to set realistic expectations a healthy practice routine. A good starting point would be to practice a little bit, six days a week. That is the secret when you teach yourself guitar, to do a little bit every day instead of a lot every now and then. You will see that in the long run the benefit is greater.

Like in anything else the more time you spend practising the better you get quicker but be realistic about it and give yourself a chance to get into it gradually. I recommend a minimum of 30 minutes each day six days a week of practice. Practice is different than playing. Playing songs or riffs by yourself or with a band over and over does help you improve but it’s when you sit by yourself and work on new exercises that is challenging for you that you improve your playing.

Time is important especially if you only have a little aside for guitar therefore don’t waste it. Jamming along and doing random exercises will not take you anywhere and you will eventually loose interest in the instrument.

Your first goal when you teach yourself guitar is to master a few open chord shapes, a few rhythms and with that you can start practicing basic songs. The trick is to make the song flow by keeping the beat and off you go.

That’s all from me. I know I’m making it sound a bit too easy but in a nut shell that’s the secret that made many great guitarist.
