I want to learn how to play guitar to sing praise songs at my church but i was wondering how difficult it is to learn. Do you need a private teacher to learn or is it possible to learn yourself?

No it is not difficult, I hae took a few lessons but I always had to give it up because i am too buzy or can't afford to pay for lessons. They have free online lessons. here is one I think it is the right link, www.yellowgutairbooks.com tell me if you like it? go to youtube and put in search button gutairlessons free.

Hey, I play bass guitar, but two of my friends play electric and acoustic ones. I can say, that you can learn acoustic, electric or bass guitar on your own, there is plenty of different websites that will help you with that. Acoustic guitar is in my opinion a little bit more difficult than bass, but still it isn't impossible to learn it on your own. You don't have to take lessons from a professional teacher, all you need is guitar and a willpower. I'll suggest you to learn to play some songs and not to learn the theory only - you still need to apply your theoretical knowledge.

Guitar is fun! I love the guitar! I took a few lessons but I never really picked up on it. I guess not everybody can learn I don't no or maybe it was bad timing in my life I don't know. But I wished I would of learned. Only because I like praise and worship or if I have the blues I can sing whatever comes to mind.
