  Speaker 2: Hey, it's your Chief Guitar Instructor, Miles, and today I'm
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: going to tell you how to learn guitar in 2026
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: the easiest way. I'm going to break it down into
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: five simple steps. Number one, you'll want to start by
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: buying the right guitar. Decide if you're going to play acoustic, electric,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: or classical. And you'll want to buy something playable, which
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: means it'll usually cost a little bit more money. But
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: you'll want to do this because a really cheap guitar
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: will be more difficult for you to play, which will
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: make it harder for you to learn guitar. I recommend
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: going to a guitar store or a pawn shop because
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the people there can help you make a better decision
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: than you can make on your own. Step two is
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: you'll want to get a method book that uses guitar tabs.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I recommend checking out the Hal Leonard Guitar Tab Method books.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: In those books, you'll learn common guitar techniques, common chords,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: how to play popular riffs, how to read tabs, and
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: foundational guitar theory. For the third step, once you've learned
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: how to read tabs, you'll want to check out the
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: website Songster, where you can learn how to play your
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: favorite songs. And number four is you'll use YouTube to
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: answer any questions you have along the way. There are
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: millions of guitar lessons on YouTube. So it's a spectacular resource.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: And number five is optional, but it's get a guitar
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: teacher if you're struggling to learn guitar by yourself. A
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: guitar teacher can help you remain accountable, and he can
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: also help you develop a good practice routine and help
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you to not feel alone in your guitar playing journey.
