Maybe you’ve tried teaching yourself and ended up burned out and stuck copying songs off Youtube instead of playing actual music. Or, worse yet, taking lessons from an inexperienced teacher who made learning or progressing on guitar so frustrating and overwhelming you gave up. Being shown where to put your fingers using scribbled out tab or taking lessons for months and not hearing any improvement can make learning guitar feel like an impossible goal…
Talk about discouraging!

You’re definitely not alone! We work with students who’ve believed these myths and experienced similar setbacks in their own playing all the time.
