Set goals in your mind while beginning to learn guitar yourself. It is very important. Have good targets that will help you learn step by step. Do not be too hurried and do not be too slow that will take away your interest. First figure out your expectation. Do you want to be part of a band or want to play just for fun? Figure this out and it will help you set perfect goals while learning. This helps you discipline yourself while learning the art. Also it helps you motivate yourself better and measure your progress clearly. Refer to as many resources as you can while learning guitar yourself. Earlier the various books, magazines, videos were the only resources available. However these days the information is studded on the world wide web. Also searching for the information is pretty easy by googling the terms. No doubt, each thread of information can be found pretty easily on internet whatever you wish for. Make use of logic and progress yourself gradually instead of hurrying up. Learning the basics of guitar is crucial enough instead of jumping to playing songs. Have small targets and strive to reach them at regular intervals. Lot of information in short time may not be digested well and your progress may hamper as a guitar player.

When you learn guitar by yourself, you have enough freedom to decide your schedule. You are never tied down by the conventional ways of teaching. You can also experiment enough and think novel ways to learn on your own. This many times helps you create your own style instead of sticking to conventional ways of playing guitar.

Your own progress however helps you remain motivated to learn higher skills and work hard to achieve them. Well, don’t be bogged down by learning experience.
