I thought i would do another quick post about some more research into our e-learning project.
The first method would be to have lessons. However these have some major disadvantages. The main one being that they can become expensive if you don't learn the guitar in a couple sessions (which you won't). Another drawback is that the average student would only have the one lesson a week, these sessions tend to only last for about 2 hours, which is not enough time, which means you have to put in extra sessions on your own.
The second method is to teach yourself. There are plenty of success stories of doing it this way, however like everything you do on your own, your going to pick up bad habits that limits the quality of your skills. Also if you use books to learn, not all the information in them is relevant.
