Learning The Guitar For Beginners
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Learning the guitar is an amazing and rewarding hobby but do not think it is going to happen overnight. Even though it may look simple and there are some very easy songs to play out there, it will take a significant amount of time and practice to master. And where you go once you have mastered the basics is up to you. There are certainly many avenues that will open up when you are ready.
You should also be aware that your music taste may well change throughout your progress. You will here things that you have never heard before in a song that you think is good. Before you know it, you will go work it out and find you like it so much you'll listen to more of this particular artists work. You'll discover this particular person had influences they learnt from so you'll go and give them a listen too. And on and on it goes.
So, to get started, you're going to need to get to know some open chords and where some important notes are along the neck of the guitar. These will come in handy later on and I can give you a hint that most of them are where the dots are on the fretboard. If you learn what notes are on the uppermost two strings on the dots from 1 to 12, that's a good start for a beginner.
Be open to all forms of music or at least be aware there are many different styles out there. Believe it or not, heavy metal, thrash metal and all that kind of stuff has its roots in blues. It may not sound like it and you've probably never even listened to blues guitar but after a while you'll realize that many styles have the same origins.
When starting out, you will proabably have a few songs in mind. But don't limit yourself to one style. Your newly learned talents may well fit nicely in another style and when you play guitar, there is great satisfaction playing even songs you never even liked!
Don't get bored when you have to work on a song for hours upon hours. Its all part of the process. Once you have learned one song properly, you will find that other songs are very similar and use the same chords.
Once you have a knowledge and ability to play the basic chords reasonably well, you'll be able to play most songs out there without even practicing them. Don't tell anyone but most songs these days use only 3 or 4 chords. Also, most of the chords used like bar chords, are the same shape but in different places up the neck.
