At some point in time you might consider trying to find a guitar teacher.
If you have found yourself stuck in your guitar playing, it might be a good option to consider.
Before you get a guitar teacher you should probably try and learn the basics; memorize all your chords you can, know the notes on the fret board, learn tablature and memorize a few scales.
The reason for doing this is because if you don't, your first month or two of lessons will be about learning these.
It's a waste of money when you can do it yourself.
When you are looking for a guitar teacher, you need to get some basic information.
What style or styles does the guitar teacher teach? Are they good at the style which you are trying to learn? How many students does the guitar teacher have? Will they be too busy to reschedule, or give you more lessons if you want to improve faster? How long has the guitar tutor been teaching and playing the guitar? How much are the lessons going to cost? When and how long will each guitar lesson last? Where and when are going to meet for your lesson? It's a good idea to start off with a teacher on a trial basis, to see if he or she is good at teaching you.
You should get rid of the teacher if they continually miss lessons, are distracted, or aren't really helping you get much better.
There are alternatives to finding a guitar teacher.
You can also invest in books and online courses.
Today many courses have good material with audio and video, making it like you have a teacher right there in front of you.
Granted you won't get the same feedback, but most good courses are about the cost of a few 30 minute lessons, yet you get hours and hours of material.
