Teaching yourself bad habits.

We’ve all heard stories about musicians who’ve taught themselves to play just be listening to tracks of their favourite artists.

But if you need some help, there are countless books and videos that will show you any technique you care to mention. But they don’t tell you if you’re doing it right, wrong or somewhere in-between.

Everything you learn builds on what you have previously learnt. So it you get something wrong at the start, you’ll be holding back your playing style for years to come.

However you choose to learn, get someone who plays well, to check you progress regularly. It’s much easier to learn correct technique to start with rather than trying to re-learn it later.
