Many people would like to be able to learn to play the guitar. If you want to learn how to play the guitar, then there are a few things you must remember when learning to play the guitar :
The first tip is all about practice, but as you practice your fingers will begin to hurt very badly. In some case, they may even bleed. Now that has never happen to be much I'm sure it has happened to others. If you keep playing through the pain, you will eventually build up calluses on your fingers. Basically, a callus is a thick layer of skin. They will build up on your finger tips, making playing the guitar painless.
When starting out playing the guitar, you may experience a buzzing sound when you play a string or strings. This happens because you may not be pressing your finger down on the correct position behind the fret. By pressing too far back from the fret can cause the buzzing to occur. It is best to position your finger directly behind the fret. Or the buzzing can occur is if your finger is positioned on one string and is slightly touching another. To help prevent this from occurring, arch your fingers so your fingertips touch the strings at a 90 degree angle.
The thing you need to know is proper positioning. By this we mean sitting positions, holding positions, fret hand positions, and pick hand positions. Included in positioning is how to fret strings, how to hold the pick, positioning the guitar, etc. This may sound somewhat elementary, but the benefits of doing this correctly are numerous. You will be comfortable playing/practicing guitar; you will have minimal tension in your hands and arms. Overall, this makes guitar playing an enjoyable experience and pave the way for great playing.
Guitar tablature is a very common method of writing guitar music, in guitar tab, there are six horizontal lines representing the 6 strings of the guitar. The numbers you will see represent the fret that should be played on that string. Also, chord diagrams are written in tabs. These chord diagrams spell out exactly which notes to play to play a certain chords
The next step is understanding chords. At the most basic, chords are 3 or more notes played together. One note is the root note. The root note is the same as the chord. For example, the note A is the root note of the A chord.
Guitars need to be in tune to sound correct. There are 2 main ways to tune a guitar. You can use an electronic tuner, or you can tune your guitar to itself, tuning the guitar to itself is a vital skill and will train your ear. The best part is that you start developing your ear for pitch early in your guitar playing.
You can use chord diagram tabs to learn specific chords. Chord progressions are nothing more than 2 or more chords played sequentially. For example, you may strum a D chord and then change to an A chord, playing chord progressions will help you determine which chords, and your ear will confirm this.
There are many avenues for more advanced guitar instruction, but learning these simple steps will lay the best foundation possible for successfully learning to play.
- Make a commitment, I guarantee in your journey to learning how to play the guitar that you will at some point either loose interest, or get frustrated and not know how to move on.
