Tips For Beginner Guitar Songs
If youve been practicing your chords and strumming patterns for a while now these beginner guitar songs are probably starting to look pretty tempting but how do you know which ones are best?
Luckily for beginners there are lots and lots of them available but please make sure you have done all the necessary preparation " dont rush into easy guitar songs too soon or youre going to be frustrated.
Of course everyone will know of the standard beginner guitar song classics such as Stand by Me, Knockin on Heavens Door and A Horse with No Name but there are hundreds more to choose from. It all depends on your musical taste.
One of the most important things to own is a Capo. This simple device will allow you to play in many different keys and avoid, should you wish to, the challenge of mastering Barre chords.
A quick look through beginner guitar songs will show you that they are almost always built from open chords and not the harder Barre chords. Having said this, by using a capo even harder songs can be converted into open chords and made suitable for beginners to play!
It takes a little bit of music theory to be able to convert songs this way but if you cant do it on your own perhaps a tutor or sources on the internet can assist you. Its main advantage is to widen the number of beginner guitar songs you can play by 10 times or more.
Although beginner guitar songs can seem very easy at first glance you should still prepare properly for them. If you rush in before youre ready you risk becoming frustrated and losing motivation, perhaps even (falsely) thinking you have no talent for guitar.
I would advise that daily practice of the chords and strums youll need for around 4 weeks should be adequate preparation before starting to learn beginner guitar songs.
A technique well worth considering is to identify and separate each element of the song you are trying to learn. Isolate the strum required and practice it without chords, isolate the progressions involved and cycle them with single strums. Do this rather than attempting everything at once.
When you follow this process youll give yourself the best possible chance of mastering beginner guitar songs quickly and easily. Good luck! - 18758
