Country: USA What instruments do you play (singing counts)? Guitar only How long have you been playing? Owned 15 years. Serious playing the last 5. What inspired you to pick up the instrument? My dad, he can't play but he always had one when he was younger so he decided to see if I would enjoy it so I had something other than video games. How did you learn the instrument? Started with a teacher for about 2 years, self-taught after that. Would you have done it differently today (self taught vs teacher)? If so, why? I would have stuck with a teacher but tried to find one who played the same music I enjoyed. I think thats a big reason why I gave it up for 10 years. -------------------- Guitars:

Hey, I am writing a paper at the university where I talk about pros and cons considering learning music in an autodidactic way, and the methods in which it is done. In that regard, I was hoping someone on here would be kind and answer a few questions which I can use in the research paper. Thank you very much! Age: 28 Country: Colombia What instruments do you play (singing counts)? Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboards, Vocals How long have you been playing? 15 years What inspired you to pick up the instrument? A videoclip from Guns n Roses How did you learn the instrument? The basics from a private teacher, then through imitation from videos, and after a couple years from instructional videos from advanced guitarists such as Paul Gilbert and John Petrucci. Would you have done it differently today (self taught vs teacher)? If so, why? I would've contacted a master in the instrument and try to make a program with him\her to follow a logic step by step process but at the same I would've kept the habit of learning pieces of music by ear. It would've been much faster in this way I think. -------------------- Visit my:

Country: USA What instruments do you play (singing counts): Piano and Guitar How long have you been playing: Piano- 9 years Guitar- 4 years What inspired you to pick up the instrument? Piano- Listening to Vince Guaraldi play the "Peanuts Theme" in "A Charlie Brown Christmas" Guitar- Started playing because a buddy of mine was learning, and that made me want to learn how to play as well. He eventually gave it up, and I stuck with it! How did you learn the instrument? Piano- Lessons with an instructor. Guitar- Lessons with an instructor and Internet resources(Read: GMC!) Would you have done it differently today (self taught vs teacher)? If so, why? Piano- Would not do anything differently. Guitar-I don't really think I would have done much differently here either, because with a live instructor and resources such as GMC I feel I get the best of both worlds, so to speak. Perhaps I Should have been a bit more organized in my learning, but other than that I would not do anything different -------------------- My Sound Cloud Profile: http://soundcloud.com/casinostrat
