Learn & Master Guitar

By John Wendel

The guitar is known to be one of the most loved instruments in the world. Girls go mad over it, while guys try their best to master its secrets. The best guitar players in the world are worshiped like royalty long after theyre dead and gone. All in all, the guitar has been an inspiration to many people around the world, young and old.

Although the stances of adoration are high, learning to play the guitar is no easy task. At least, that is what people believe. Although I wouldnt say the idea is wrong, the trust of the matter is that, it is not as difficult as it seems. All you need is dedication and a clear mind plus some guidance from fellow guitarists who are willing to help you out in the initial phase.

The basics of playing guitar depend on learning the basic chords, fingering on your own and finding chords and the sequences of your favorite song. Although it sounds like a lot of work, it actually is a very simple systematic process that can be mastered in no time. Almost all chord compositions and fingering patterns can be learned via online tutorials. But if you have an uncle or a friend whos willing to help, always follow up on first hand lessons.

If you are already playing another instrument such as piano, violin or cello " you will find solace and comfort in a guitar as the rhythms and patterns will be familiarized for you. So try to use your prior knowledge of music while you try to learn playing guitar.

Make sure you learn the minors as well as the majors or else a playing a full song would be a bit problematic. Once you have learned your chords well, you must make sure you remember it forever and do exercises that help you switch through chords faster.

Once you search the internet for that favorite song of yours and learn to play it properly without any weird noises, you have got your self a rhythm guitarist. Whats important here is that you listen to the song you are trying to play and learn the precise rhythm and the strumming patterns. This is very important.

Lead guitarists are different and a further complex step away. So if you fancy playing lead, you should certainly find a good tutor who knows how to deliver the best. You may be tempted to learn lead over the internet, but this is a huge no-no as you will regret your decision later. Many finer points of playing the lead guitar are not revealed in online tutorials so it is best that you get in to detail with a tutor while learning how to hammer down fingers and how to alternate fingering patterns, from an expert.

Its is never too late to learn playing guitar. So if you are still fancying wooing a crowd or winning that girls heart " the stage is all yours! Simply get on with it and practice. - 18762
