Worlds greatest guitarists mesmerize an audience making great music by strumming the strings of their guitar.

Which method is the best one to achieve what you want is hard to decide.
There are a lot of different opinions on the different methods and that only makes it more difficult to choose.
You have to look to at your situation, motivation and the goals you want to achieve in order to make the right decision.
A lot of people go to a teacher who (in most cases) is a great expert in guitar-playing.
In order to have the ability to give good lessons he should be patient, he should know the best learning-methods and should also be experienced with guitar-playing and teaching other persons to play guitar as well and some knowledge of the techniques is also an important aspect.
Another important thing is that the lessons will be provided at times that fit into your schedule.
Most people believe in serious practicing being the best possible way to learn guitar-playing.
Some of them think that the best way is practicing the guitar-basics by themselves with information and (video) instructions they will find in books or on the internet.
These people believe you will be best off doing this by yourself without a teacher by just practicing the learned techniques a lot to perfect the skills you have learned this way.
However, this is a quite cheap way to learn guitar-playing.
Depending on a lot of different factors the best method of learning to play guitar differs per person.
Something that is excellent for me might be not so good for you at all.
I think practice makes perfect and a lot of great experts agree, so out of all the different ways to learn the guitar-playing techniques, the best way is practice.
