Why is TheGuitarLesson.com is so popular among beginner guitarists? Tom Fontana, your guitar teacher on the site, has been teaching private students for years, and has found that the best way to keep beginner guitar students motivated to learn and advance is to start playing songs right from the beginning. The reason is simple. Learning guitar is not exactly the easiest thing in the world, and to make it worse by teaching dull exercises is the no 1. reason why beginners quit playing. Our beginner guitar lessons focus on learning to play famous songs right off the bat, which keeps the learning process interesting, since our students learn to play real songs, to which they've probably been listening to for years. This motivates our students to practice, and thus improve their technique. This is the secret to learning to play guitar.
