Choosing songs to play with your band can be as hard as choosing a new electric guitar or pair of trainers. Here’s some handy ideas on how to go about it.

Perth is one of the most isolated cities in the world, but we are lucky to have a buzzing music scene with lots of live music venues and bands. And that means there are lots of Perth guitar teachers to choose from.

So you’ve finally decided to get some drum lessons. There are lots of online courses, webinars and You Tube videos out there – and many of them are free – but there is no substitute for personal one on one drum lessons. Let’s be honest – you wouldn’t try to learn karate, soccer or hang-gliding online, why would music lessons be any different? A set of videos cannot give you personal advice like a drum teacher can, based on observation of your playing and knowing exactly what you want to learn, at your own pace.

Starting out on the journey of getting guitar lessons is fun and exciting, but it can also be daunting for the absolute beginner. There are different types of guitars, just as there are lots of different styles of music. There are different ways of holding the guitar, different techniques for strumming, plucking or picking, and lots of different ways of learning – books, online videos, or private guitar lessons.

The good news is there are lots of people around who can help you navigate through these options and get you started. Rock Scholars offers Perth Guitar lessons for anyone in Western Australia just starting out.
