Classical Guitar Lessons
When I first set out to pick up guitar, I didn’t anticipate taking classical guitar lessons. Like most kids my age, I wanted to be a rocker. I figured that I could just learn a few chords, strum my guitar, and magically get hordes of groupies, flocking to my side. This is a common fantasy and a harmless one, but my parents encouraged me to have bigger dreams. They convinced me to take classical guitar instruction to start with. They argued that classical guitar lessons would give me a much more solid foundation in how to play guitar. I would learn techniques, understand musical theory, and really become proficient. Then, I could rock out with the best of them. I was a pretty mature kid for my age, and I had to admit that their explanation made sense.
