So you want to learn the guitar, the right way. Well, you've come to the right place. In fact, the best part about it all is it's entirely free. That's right free! I could make this some members site but to tell you the truth you won't learn the guitar as effectively if you have to pay some membership fee and then find out the material isn't that great.
Here at how to play guitar for beginners you will learn the guitar the right way. This isn't one of those sites that will teach you all the theory and meaningless babble that won't help you when it really counts. Instead, you will learn the street smarts of playing guitar. If fact I will break things down to their simplest form so it will make it even easier for you to learn.
I will also break down how you should practice and what is all involved as far as equipment is concerned. I will give the dos and don't of playing. I will even show you how to get into a band or start your own.
You will also learn the guitar though a few different formats. The first is by written format, which I will use to show you how chords and leads are played. The second is audio so you can hear how the guitar should sound, and the third will be pictures and video so you can see the guitar in action.
The reason I decided to do it this way is because it will help you to start using your senses more. This is very important. One of the biggest mistakes people make is being to visual and not really listening to what they are playing. I've seen a lot of people do this. In fact I was recently talking to a guy I work with and he was showing me the chords he knew how to play on the guitar.
Well he knew all the chords but he couldn't tell me the name of any of the chords. On top of that he couldn't tell me what a chord sounds like. The only way he knew is if he was actually looking in some tab book or magazine like, Guitar World.
Why is this so important you might ask?
Great guitar players are great listeners. In order to learn the guitar you have to be able to sit and listen. However the problem with most people are is they just want to play and not listen.
Next Weeks Lesson
Well, that's enough learning for one day. This weeks I want you to take some time and listen. You don't have to play your guitar to do this, just use your ears and listen.
Listen to the people around you. Take time really understand what people are really telling you. I know people who don't listen very well. I can pick'em out easy. They're usually the type of people who start talking before you get done telling them something or they cut into every other word you are trying to tell them. Then they have to ask me what I just said. These kind of people annoy me.
In the next lesson I will be talking about the right equipment for the job. If you want to learn how to play the guitar you have to have the proper equipment.
Till Then,
CJ
