Here's my thought on music teachers.

I suggest you try and learn on your own while using the internet for resources. You'll become a better "natural player". I feel that teachers do nothing but hold you back and keep your style from developing. They try to teach you "their way" and all this crap about what's the right way and the wrong way of doing something, when it comes to music this is just wrong. I'm not saying all teachers are like this, but it's best to be careful who you pick for a teacher, because a teacher will always think their way is the best. Teachers are good for learning other things, like theory and all that stuff, things that definetly have a right way.

That's the way I feel about it. I'm self taught myself and proud of it. I wish I had a nickel for everytime someone told me I was doing something wrong, I'd be rich.

The whole point is people have their own way of doing things. In music, this is where it shines and legends are born.


It depends on your teacher!!!
My teacher asks me what I want to play and he teaches me that. The only thing I was forced to learn was the basics. When I got past that, he told me to see what I want to learn and come back and he'll show me and teach me. With what I've learned from the songs, bands and the basics, I wrote my own song. He is awesome. If you get a teacher that tells you what to play (besides the basics.) then quit and learn from somone else.

That is stupid. Teachers are the best way to learn. You can learn better than any other method, but like I said,if worst comes to worst, then go with online.


I agree. Just have to make sure you do learn the basics. Whe i strated i took 6 or 7 lessons and all i wanted to do was kearn songs, and that is what the dude taught me. it didnt take me anywhere, then i quit and went on my own way and just jammed with older and much better musicians and that is how i started learning
