| SS | If you were to take guitar lessons would you want to learn songs already written or learn theory and technique? - Thu, 10 Oct 2002 5:25pm | ||
| Anonymous | both are important, already writen songs help you understand the theory and technique - Thu, 10 Oct 2002 5:31pm | ||
| SS | Thanks for your response. I never learned cover songs. I studied theory while picking apart songs. Now if I can get 19 more oppinions I will have an average for this area. - Thu, 10 Oct 2002 5:39pm | ||
| Anonymous | written songs - Thu, 10 Oct 2002 5:41pm | ||
| jason User Info... | best lessons I've ever had have been a combination of both. haha bet that doesnt help! - Thu, 10 Oct 2002 5:55pm | ||
| Anonymous | theory and technique - but i think you'll find that the answers are going to be very dependent on each person's circumstances. for me, for example, i took theory and technique lessons years ago and since then have learnt songs and taught myself. now, i'd like to pick up lessons on theory and technique again. it could have just as easily happened the other way around though. - Thu, 10 Oct 2002 6:01pm | ||

| Rob | I tried to learn theory when I started..couldn't get it..so I went a few years learning songs and then tried theory again and it was much easier - Thu, 10 Oct 2002 6:31pm | ||

| virge User Info... | if you just teach theory your students will get bored and restless so you have to give em a spoonfull of sugar in the form of a song they want to learn. you'll pretty much have to teach both. if they learn the theory then they can decipher their own songs. my guitar teacher put it like this: you can give a man a fish and he'll be able to eat for a day, or you can teach a man how to fish and he'll never go hungry again. pretty deep, eh? - Thu, 10 Oct 2002 8:18pm | ||
| virge is and idiot | if you give a man a fish you FEED HIM FOR A DAY, if you teach a man to fish you FEED HIM FOR LIFE - Thu, 10 Oct 2002 11:05pm | ||

| arwet | Why pay money to learn songs?? Also, theory is something most teachers don't seem to know, and something you can read in a book. I say learn songs on your own, and learn technique (much more difficult and important) in lessons. - Fri, 11 Oct 2002 3:09pm | ||
| STBP | I learned by playing along with my favorite records. It's a bit of a shortcut, and I think the fingering technique that evolved is now causing some wrist pain. But I still wouldn't pay some half-wit to impose his musical opinions on me. - Fri, 11 Oct 2002 3:28pm | ||
| SS | My idea for giving lessons has always been like what Arwet stated. Jason and Verge brought up very good points.. - Fri, 11 Oct 2002 3:45pm | ||
| sleez-e | you should contact Gerod Staaf. I took a few lessons from him when i began 3 months ago, he is very good, though i don't have his number anymore i lost it. james - Fri, 11 Oct 2002 9:05pm | ||
