Anyone who wants to learn to play the guitar willy-nilly has a hundred questions of a similar plan: "how to learn to play the guitar?", "Is it difficult to play the guitar?", "How much can you learn to play?" etc. Once, about 10 years ago, I asked the same questions, but I did not have the Internet - and I studied on my own, collecting bit by bit information from my friends ... Now everything is much simpler.
I want to say right away that - it’s not difficult. It all depends on your endurance, desire and the time that you are willing to devote to training. If you are patient, you have a great desire to play, then everything will work out!
So, you have a guitar and a desire to learn how to play. Putting our motivation in a fist ... let's go!
First you need to familiarize yourself with the tuning of the guitar - you can’t play an instrument that is not prepared for the game. Tuning a guitar can be done entirely independently, or you can tune it using a tuner or through online tuning. A tuner is a special device that shows whether a string is tuned or not. If it shows that it is not tuned, then the string must be raised / lowered. Thus, by tuning each string, you will tune the entire guitar. Is the guitar tuning done? So, you can proceed directly to training.
First you need to familiarize yourself with landing while playing the guitar. Usually everywhere you can find disputes about how to sit when playing the guitar. For example, in a music school they teach classical landing when the neck is higher than the deck. However, many professionals, while playing the guitar, keep it straight, without tilting ... It's up to you. In my opinion, there should be no clear rules for landing; you need to sit as you feel comfortable.
After you need to read what chords are, what battle is, brute force. Find out what movements are made with the right and left hand when playing the guitar. Fighting and brute force is a complex of movements that are performed by the right game, near the resonator hole. Chords - a special position of the hands (fingers) of the left hand on the fretboard. After learning several chords and a beat, such as 6-beat and Am, Dm, E, C, G, A chords , you can easily play your first song. Often their first song is played, having learned only 3-4 chords and one battle - battle 6. For example, many as their first song play "Pass", "Star named Sun" or "Pack of Cigarettes" of the group "Cinema". You won’t become a guitar player from this yet, but learn the basics. After that, you should increase your knowledge in the number of chords, fights and enumerations. It will be obligatory to learn the chords Em, H7, D. After them it is worth moving on to the study of barre chords. Begin with the chord F.
The most important thing is that after the first song played you will have a huge charge of motivation, which will steadily push you to increase your skill in the game. On the Internet, by the way, there are very high-quality video lessons and analysis of many simple songs that you can easily master in a short time. I would advise you to start by studying the songs “Pass”, “A Star named the Sun”, “A pack of cigarettes”, “The bend of the yellow guitar”, “What is autumn” , etc. Many simple songs can be found among army songs or hiking.
Having learned a sufficient number of chords, learning how to quickly set and change them, you should familiarize yourself with the tabs. Tablatures are a special way of recording how to play music. It looks like drawn 6 strings, which alternately indicate where and how to clamp the strings. If chords can be learned, then the tabs are from the category "the more I know, the less I know." There are a myriad of them, every day they are replenished. Tablatures allow you to study modern music and songs of different orientations and complexity, starting with "Grasshopper" on one string and ending with complex arrangements. Having learned what tablatures are and learning how to use them, you will discover a huge world of songs and melodies played by modern musicians, bands, etc.
Together with the study of chords, tablatures, fights and enumerations, you will meet many different techniques of sound production, for example: flagolets, pull-offs, hammers, vibrato, glissandos, etc. For example, flagolets are performed by tweaking the string and simultaneously drowning it. Natural flagships are performed on the 12th fret, artificial - on any. All of them make the sound more beautiful, complement the game with special notes. They are not complicated, if you study everything gradually, and not jump to a level that you can not do.
In this way, not as difficult as it may seem to you at first. Advice for those who want to start - get started !. The sooner you start your training, the sooner this topic will drag you in - the sooner you can play the guitar. All in your hands! A short tutorial in front of you, you just read it ... Good luck!
