Many music lovers would like not only to listen to their favorite tunes, but also to be able to play them on such a musical instrument as a guitar. To achieve this goal, it is worth paying attention to some important aspects.
It is necessary
- - a computer;
- - the Internet;
- - guitar;
- - self-instruction manual;
- - money;
- - nylon strings.
Instructions
Step 1
Purchase a standard classic seven-string guitar (not electric). And immediately in the kit, buy nylon strings to replace the existing ones. They will help prevent calluses and wounds on your fingers. The sound will be much softer and quieter with this kind of strings. They are ideal for learning to play the guitar.
Step 2
Download a tutorial on your computer or buy it from the store. Of course, you can study with a tutor, but you are unlikely to allow yourself to do this every day for several months. There are many useful free sources on the Internet with video tutorials and programs for aspiring guitarists. Choose manuals exclusively for beginners so that complex chords would not discourage your zeal to master this musical instrument.
Step 3
Learn the rules for tuning your guitar. Tune the thinnest string (first) to the tuning fork. Hold the second fret at the 5th fret, adjusting to the first open fret. The third is at the 4th fret, adjusting to the second. Also tune all other strings at the 5th fret, comparing to the thinner ones.
Step 4
Master the most commonly used chords. You can play about 70% of the songs on only six chords: Em, Dm, Am, G, C, E. First of all, learn them from your self-study guide, and in the course of practice - all the rest. After that, master the game by brute force.
Step 5
Learn 2 types of busting: five, three, two, one, two, three, four, three, two, one, two, three (string numbers). A more complex version, but also more melodic: five, three, two, three, one, three, two, three, four, three, two, three, one, three, two, three. Next, search the web for chords for one of your favorite songs. This will be an excellent motivation for work and subsequent results.
