1. Practice Daily
This cannot be stressed enough. Putting effort into learning a new skill takes persistence and dedication. Chances are, you'll be much more efficient at guitar if you set aside time each day to practice, than if you just pick it up 'when the feeling strikes'. Don't have hours a day to practice? You don't need to. Even just 15 minutes a day goes a long way in building your guitar skills.


2. Find Your Motivation
Some days you just won't want to pick up the guitar. Other things will seem more interesting, more pressing, or just easier. Maybe you feel like your calluses deserve a break. No they don't! Find your motivation before distraction strikes. Is there a favourite song you really want to play? Do you want to impress a certain someone at the next party? Always keep your motivation in front of you so that when you want to cut yourself some slack, you won't.


3. Practice with Friends
Practicing with friends can be motivating and lots of fun. Don't worry about how your skills match up to theirs; just enjoy the simple pleasure of playing along. It's a great way to pick up new skills and new songs, too.


4. Practice with a Tutor
Hiring a guitar tutor helps greatly with learning guitar for beginners. You might even be able to convince a guitar-playing friend to give you lessons. At the least they can tell you about the best guitar teachers in town. Having the accountability of weekly lessons can give additional motivation. Can't afford private guitar lessons? Try bartering your skills or services instead of cash. Or, find a teacher who will give you instructions for a few weeks instead of paying for a whole year.

5. Don't Despise the Basics
Every guitar great has their style, but even Jimi Hendrix started out with the basics . Ok, so maybe not every guitar great practiced scales for hours a day, but that doesn't mean you can't benefit from the basics in your own practice. Practicing things like those repetitive scales helps with speed and agility. And, learning the notes of the scales lays a framework for music theory, which makes it easier to create your own music in the near future.


6. Keep Your Guitar in Prime Shape
Guitar care is as important as daily practice. Keep your guitar out of the heat. This can stretch out the strings and wear them out faster. You'll want to change the strings too, every 1-2 months depending on how much you play. A case protects your guitar from scratches. Finally, check out your guitar bridge. The condition of the bridge impacts the sound of the strings. Bonus: if you're really having trouble pressing down hard enough to eliminate that pesky buzzing noise when you play, you can have a professional 'lower' the bridge. This places the strings closer to the fretboard so you don't have to press so hard.


7. Find the Right Tools
If you don't know what strings or picks to buy, ask an employee at any music store. You'll soon know what you like and what works best. Also, check out the various apps for guitar tuning, lessons, and more. With these tips, you now know how to learn guitar fast!
