Guitar basics

0 Comments 25 October 2009

So you have your first guitar and you are very excited, but you wondering how should i start playing?
So, First the most important thing that you have to remember is that guitar is no magic instrument you have to work hard in order to be a good musician, after hours a daily work and years of practise will you be able to succeed in your goals. I will not lie to you mastering guitar can take you the rest of your life, but even this will happen if you constantly practise and practise and practise…

A few things that you should know about your guitar–Pluck a single string any one, What you hear is called a note. This is a simple note and every note has its name represented by a letter of the alphabet (A through G only) and sometimes the notation “#,” which means “sharp” or “b,” which means “flat.”So when you see this “F#,” it means “F sharp.” “Bb” would be read as “B flat.” In western music, there are twelve possible names for all the notes.

Now every time you pluck a string you get a note, u get different notes when u place your fingers on the fretboard, which has frets(which is a space on the fretboard between any two metal strips) you create a new note. Now when you listen to songs you here a rhythm going on behind these are called the Chords and are basically a lot of notes put together and played in one single strike. You can also play individual notes , which come in handy when you play a solo/lead.

A player should always keep this in mind that as great a tool that internet is for learning anything, one should always rely more on books and teachers, a teacher can explain you a lot more and in a very better way. Even if it’s only to learn how to hold the guitar and to put your fingers on the fretboard.
