Learn To Play And Master The Guitar

By John Wendel

It is no secret that the guitar is one of the most adored pieces of musical instruments of all times. The sound of a guitar could easily melt your heart and make you lose your soul. That may be the reason why girls go crazy over guitar music and why guys try so hard to learn playing it. Our history has shown us great guitarists whom have been venerated just for possessing great guitar skills. So all in all, guitar is a source of inspiration and carries an impeccable bond with human life.

It is a commonly held belief that playing guitar is difficult and I wouldnt dismiss the notion whole heartedly. But if youve got the drive, dedication and a goal in mind, you will most certainly become a guitarist in no time. It is not always necessary to have a private tutor. Simply seek advice, tips and tricks from fellow senior guitar players and you will be just fine!

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.

Also if youre already a musician like a pianist, violinist or a vocalist, playing the guitar would come quite naturally to you. This is mainly because you understand how music work and the basic chord patterns etc.

It is vital to learn minors as well as the majors while you learn guitar music. If you miss out on one type, you will certainly not be able to play a while song, which will be disappointing! Once you know the chords, it is essential that you practice till you drop so that manipulating and changing chords gets registered in your system that will later become an almost automatic process while you play.

If youve got a keen ear, try playing by it. The moment you succeed, you can call yourself a rhythm guitarist. This is what most guitarists do, when they play pop songs that they like. However, be careful not to miss crucial details while you stroll as the rhythm and strumming patterns will need to be matched 100%, if you are to recreate the same piece on guitar.

If youre looking to be a lead guitarist and stun the crowds with your slash-like skills, you may have to start by resorting to a tutor who knows what hes doing. Even though learning the lead at home using the internet sound s tempting it is not good for your future. Some of the finer points of playing lead guitar will be lost and you will have to pay for that later in your guitar playing career. Such things like hammering down your fingers to get the best tones or alternate fingering patterns and runs are almost never mentioned online.

So are you still trying to woo that girl on to your side, or looking to rock your high school prom with your killer riffs? Its never too late to live the dream. Start working on it now itself. But remember, that practice makes you perfect. - 18758
