First Things First: This is information people should know before they even have their first lesson on the guitar. It is also good for people who are even just thinking of learning the guitar. I highly recommend that you read thru the first 5 or 6 blogs below. It can be a bummer to get all worked up for your first lesson only find out you bought the wrong stuff and have to bring it back.

Just went through all of these to force myself to review the basics and ensure I didn’t miss anything from learning on my own through books. Learned the importance of a strap, practicing multiple times a day, always slowing down and striving for consistent quality, and a few other goodies. Basics are always good.
Every now and then it’s good to review the basics. Depending on ones level that may mean different things to different players. Sometimes it’s just going back to something you thought you had down but realize there’s still more you can do with it.
This blog is really helpful.
I really appreciate your taking the time to convey this information
