Learn How To Play The Violin

By Ned Dagostino

People come up with lots of excuses when they try to talk themselves out of learning an instrument they have always wanted to play. If you love the violin, perhaps you've told yourself that it's too difficult. Or maybe you think you're too old. The truth is that you really can learn how to play the violin no matter what your circumstances.

Find a good teacher you can take private lessons from, or you may know of a relative or friend who plays the violin and who could start you out. The first thing you're going to need to learn is how to hold the violin. If you hold it wrong, you'll be very uncomfortable and may even eventually suffer stress injuries from trying to play the violin the wrong way. To hold the violin properly, you position your left arm underneath the body of the violin and then grasp the neck of the instrument with your left hand, curving your fingers over the neck as you do so. Your hand and fingers will be positioned over the strings and the violin's chin rest should be between your left shoulder and your chin. You hold the bow in your right hand and a bow or pluck the strings with that hand.

One thing you'll notice about the violin is that unlike a guitar, there are no frets on the neck. You'll essentially be learning the notes by ear until you get to the point where you know exactly where every note is on the fingerboard.

For this, you'll need to identify four positions on your violin. The first position is located the furthest away from your face and has low pitched notes. The last in fourth position is the highest notes and is the furthest up the neck. The strings themselves are tuned to specific notes; lowest to highest, they are tuned at G, D, A, and E as "open" strings, whereby there are no fingers pressing on the strings when you play. Other notes can be played by placing your fingers as instructed by your teacher at various places on the strings themselves.

There are two ways to play these notes. Most start out by plucking them. This is called pizzicato. The other way most people are familiar with is by steadily drawing the bow across the strings in a long stroke.

In addition to learning how to play the violin, you'll also need to learn how to read music. If you don't know how to read music before you learn how to play, you can begin by studying music in a more basic fashion either by taking classes, having someone versed in music teach you, or studying on your own to a certain degree by going online and searching out various tutorials.

Understand going in that the violin is not an easy instrument to learn. It will take plenty of practice on your part before you are really good. But that's OK, it's worth it because it's a fun instrument with a beautiful sound. - 18758

Guitar Chords and How To Learn Them

By Payo W Perry

Of all the basic foundations required for playing guitar, guitar chords are the most fundamental. This is due largely to the fact that even music based on melodic lines are in fact being outlined by an invisible chordal background when composed.

A great common myth is that you must learn 100's of different chords but in reality all it takes is a simple set of 10 to launch you into 100's of popular songs!

We group guitar chords into respective families based upon their type and how they are built. As a beginner you need only concern yourself with 3 main families of chords. They are Major, Minor and Dominant 7 chords. Using these you'll have the basic structure required for songs.

For beginners it can be quite a challenge to sound guitar chords clearly, even the easier ones. Most find that learning the shapes are relatively easy however. If you are not used to playing guitar it's likely that your fingers will hurt until a layer of harder skin has built up. This normally takes a month or two.

All players go through this process when learning to play guitar chords. It can get painful until that layer of harder skin builds up however once done, playing chords will no longer hurt you.

The main distinction we make between chords is whether they are moveable or not. Chord shapes which cannot be moved are normally referred to as Open Chords and generally involve the using of open strings on the guitar. These normally represent the beginner guitar chords we all start of learning.

Barre chords on the other hand are movable and by transposing the shape up or down the neck you can produce different chords. A fair amount of strength is required to perform Barre chords so that all notes sound clearly however once you achieve this it's easy to form them anywhere on the neck.

A common beginner mistake is to try to learn lots and lots of chords. This is of no real use to you when first learning to play. It's far better to concentrate on a smaller group of guitar chords and ones you'll use consistently in many different songs. - 18758
