EDIT: my mom said she get me a guitar, but with no lessons. is it worth getting the guitar and learing it on your own or is it too hard and pointless getting a guitar with no lessons?
I’ve been playing the paino for 9 years now. I know how to read music.

My mom said she would get me a guitar for Christmas if I wanted. so should I get one? or is it too hard and it would be pointless to get one without lessons?

    you can read notation it isnt gonna be hard mentally, physically you mean, it isnt unless your trying to shred it can get tedious, just practice, you basically have half of it down already shimeonD

    hell yeah you may need help with the chords & that’s it just look up the tabs & play it one part at a time & play it slowly & get faster & faster & the tempo i don’t care

    Yeah if you learn the basic skills and concepts, with practice it can be easy.

    Your lucky! I really want a guitar for christmas. I say get it! Try something new. It really is different :)
    Have a great evening! *šŧǻř*

    Hello there.This is how I learned guitar: I watched a guitar dvd, I learned the chords, and then I started. I simply learned songs from Youtube, tabs, etc. I have only been playing since July and I am starting to learn to tap like Eddie Van Hallen. Also, for guitar, unless if you are going to be playing classical music, reading music for guitar is pointless (or if you are going to play in a school band). Jeff

    guitar for me was pretty easy. i guess it all depends on how dedicated you are to it.
    i read tabs and just started with easy songs to learn off of like system of a downs hypnotized gabe p
