A few sincere employees looked up Web sites to learn guitar. And a story was born…
Learn from someone
First of all, get your hands on a guitar, beg, borrow or steal is our motto-no compromises with a passion like music. Good thing that we had guitars coming out of our ears this month.
The next step is to find someone who knows something about guitars. Easier said than done! You could choose to sign up for classes, but this involves money. We’ll stick to asking one of your friends or colleagues for help in their free time. After all, it’s generally when you see someone playing an instrument that you get the urge to learn!
The few people who had the determination to learn at work just kept bugging the maestros to show them a few tricks. The snag here is that when you’re free to learn, the other is generally too busy to teach!
Time taken: It’s hard to get exact time limits here, but let’s just say it’s a lot more than a few hours of waiting.
Learning from real people has the advantage of being able to ask questions, and since we’re all individuals, our questions may differ. We found that getting a question answered was much easier when face to face with a real teacher. Also, people seemed to learn faster this way.
Total Time Taken: A few hours of practise; many more chasing the teachers
Cost: Nothing (not counting the cost of treating your friends to coax them to teach you)
