Learning Instruments

I am trying to learn the guitar for how many years now and it was still difficult for me but I can play some songs. How did you learn on your own?

Well, i learned a lot from playing the keyboards, i got familiar with each sound, each note. So i tried to find similarities between all the notes in one scale, with every string (without pushing them with your left hand, then with 1st,2nd,3rd freat and on... in each string ) In that way its also easy because with pianos or keyboards you know (visually) where you have a tone between two notes, and where you have a semitone. Then i practice a lot with the speed that i play each note, which really helps (specially if you like to play or make guitar solos ) I learned the chords from a friend and some scales. And from there i tried watching lots of live performances videos, which really helped a lot. Try to develop your ear, listen to lots of guitar playing. And you will get used to the sounds, and then you will see its more easy to play any song, figuring it out by yourself. And better if you add some speed and coordination training.
