The tuning of a guitar is absolutely important. Even one or two strings slightly out of tune makes the whole thing sound bad. If you are playing for hours each day, you would want to make sure that the guitar is properly tuned on a daily basis. Otherwise once a week or every few days should be fine.

You can pick up a decent guitar tuner for only about $20 from a music store, and make sure it has a visual display. Tuning each string at a time, it takes only about 10 – 30 seconds to do the whole thing. If you are ever without a guitar tuner for what ever reason, you can still do it manually.

To tune a guitar manually, you need at least one string initially in correct tune. You can hear sound files of the net to do this. Next you want to make sure that every string is exactly five half notes (frets) apart. To do this for example with the two lowest strings, “E” and “A”, hold the “E” string on the 5th fret and make sure it produces exactly the same sound as the “A” string (assuming “A” is already tuned correctly). This is the case with all strings except for “G” and “B” which are only four half notes (frets) apart.

Once all strings are done, make sure that they are all in harmony with each other (E.g. the “A” is exactly 10 half notes from the “G” string, as they are two strings apart). Do this all the way from the highest to the lowest string.

Also, be sure to replace your strings about every four to six months as they wear out.

Playing A Guitar Correctly

As with every other instrument, playing a guitar correctly is crucial to your skill and development. The guitar itself should be rested upon your right leg (everything reversed for left handers), in an upright position.

Your right hand, or playing hand is actually more important that your left (how you control the strings). When picking the strings, with or without a pick, your wrist should be rested on the bridge of the guitar (where the strings are tied off at the base). This way you will easily remember where the strings are. When strumming chords, the timing, speed and power are all very crucial. You really need to work on your strumming pattern and the timing of it as much as you can, as this is what actually produces the sound. You do not rest your wrist on the bridge when strumming.

Your left hand also requires a lot of work. It is important to not get into bad habits of what fingers you use to play particular frets and combinations. The easiest way to avoid this is to quite simply learn as many chords as you can, and generally your fingers will find themselves in the correct positions. A lot of chord sheets and tabs also tell you what fingers need to be where. Another problem commonly facing beginners is the muting of surrounding strings that you are playing. This is annoying at first. But only practice will help you to avoid it altogether. Also when playing, make sure you are putting enough pressure on the strings as well, or this will also cause muting (especially with barre chords).

At first your eyes will be fighting to look at both your left and right hand at the same time. This is ok while you are practicing, but in general your eyes should be focused on your right (playing) hand.

Deciding Which Guitar Is Right For You

Whether your just starting out, or upgrading your old guitar, it is of utmost importance that you make the right choice in selecting your guitar. Of course selecting a style, shape or color is a very important factor. If you’re unsure, just make a trip to a local music store. Usually the staff are more than happy to let you play around with as many as you like.

If you are going electric, then you would want to be spending good money on not only the guitar itself, but also the amp. Find a guitar that has “low action” on the strings as this is easier to play. You would want to spend probably around $400 - $600 on this. You can also get yourself a relatively cheap but good enough amp for about $150 - $200. Once you think you have found what you want, don’t be afraid to ask as many questions as you can think of, for example if it is a good guitar for beginners.

For an acoustic guitar this is a bit more simple. The absolute minimum you would want to spend is $200. Even this is still a cheap guitar. Low action acoustic guitars (easy to play) usually start around at $500 - $600. Also, avoid nylon (plastic) strings altogether. They are literally made of fishing line, produce a cheap sound and go out of tune quickly.

Once you have found what you’re after, you will need picks, a guitar tuner, and if you have an electric, an input cable for the amp. Other accessories such as stands, shoulder straps, capos, carry cases etc. are useful but not necessary.

Playing the guitar is one of the most useful and versatile skills you can have. In fact it has even been proven to increase your intelligence. If you either love playing the guitar, or would love to be able to learn, you have come to the right place!

Of course, before anything else, it is of utmost important that you have a decent guitar. Don’t make a very common mistake made by many others and buy yourself a cheap guitar. In general, the cheaper they are, the harder they are to play, and the harder they are on your fingers, not to mention a less superior sound. Hours of playing on a cheap guitar can make a mess of your fingers, including bleeding and a very unpleasant experience. So don’t let anything like this dampen your determination! Spend at least a few hundred dollars, and avoid nylon strings if you’re going acoustic.

Now first of all I must stress that technique, or the way you learn is far more important than learning a whole bunch of songs initially. As time goes by, you will easily forget songs that you’ve learnt. But by learning the core principles of guitar playing, you will eventually just be able to play any song without even having to look at the tab, or sheet music. Don’t get disheartened when you can’t do everything you’d like to do. Before you know it, it will come. Just keep it simple, and if a song you’d like to learn how to play looks to hard, just move on and come back in a few weeks time, you’ll surprise yourself.

There a many parts of the guitar which you need to know about and use as well. The frets (metal bars across the neck) are a half note each. So for example to go from “E” to “F”, that’s a distance of two frets. Each of the strings on the guitar are five half notes apart (except for the “G” and “B” strings, which is four), starting at “E” (lowest), going up to A, D, G, B, and “e” (highest). Your left hand will be taking care of this. Your right hand is used to pick and strum the strings. While picking, rest your wrist on the bridge (where the strings are tied off at the base), and this will help you to remember where the strings are without having to look at them.

When you first start learning to play songs, you need a tab (sheet music) to read. Either buy this from a music shop, but I recommend downloading them off the net, there’s plenty of free sites. (E.g. Ultimate Guitar). Learning how to read tabs is easy. Look at the string you want to play on the tab, then press with you finger firmly between the two frets. If for example it is a “3” on the “A” string, hold down the second lowest string “A” right after the 3rd fret. Also try practice changing between different strings and frets in a continuous pattern to help your fingers get a feel for the strings, and also to increase your speed.

Learning to play chords is another great way to start. Print yourself up a sheet of all the basic chords (combination of different strings to create a key sound) Learn these off by heart and practice for hours increasing your successful chord changes and the speed. In fact most popular songs commonly use only about 10 or so main chords: A, Am, B, Bm, C, D, E, Em, F, and G are among the most common. Even by playing just these few chords, there are literally thousands of songs that use just these. This is mainly done on the acoustic guitar, but is very easy for beginners to pick up, and within weeks or even days you could be playing simple songs almost flawlessly.

If you want to learn the electric guitar, main difference is you do not generally strum chords, rather, playing power chords. These are usually three of the lower strings played together (the lowest string played being one whole note lower than the other two). These are also based primarily on normal chords any way, but just sound better on the electric. Once you progress, you will learn many other more advanced techniques, for example, playing scales, palm muting, distortion, etc. As well as numerous styles such as metal, blues, classical, etc.

So… If you would like to turbo charge the time it takes for you to become a pro, you must check out this online training system! Whether you are a skilled player yourself, or never even picked up a guitar before, then this is for you.
