Fuck Price . Overrated 4 ERA bum <| sep |> What is your definition of perfect ? Do you have perfect pitch ? If you ' re going to be learning by yourself and don ' t have perfect pitch , you should get a tuner or its gonna be really hard . I ' ve been playing for 12 years , but ever since I quit lessons I haven ' t been progressing much , let alone someone who ' s starting from scratch , so it ' s really important to get a teacher . If location is an issue , maybe you can find someone to teach you over Skype . However , if it ' s really out of the question to get a teacher , you have to create your own structure and set goals for yourself . You can also post videos of yourself here to get feedback on your playing . Good luck !
