Learn to Play the Guitar — And Let No String Stand in Your Way
No, you don’t want to be a rock star. You do want to learn to play a guitar, however. What’s a girl like you to do? You could either talk the guy next door into giving you lessons or you could sign up for courses online. There are many ‘learn to play a guitar’ crash courses – among them the Jamorama Lead Guitar – that will speed up the learning process for you.
If you want to learn to play a guitar, start with the basics. How? Get familiar with the different chords and most importantly, learn to tune your own guitar.
Make no mistake about it. You cannot ever learn to play a guitar unless you have the instrument and unless you know how to tune it. Naturally, tuning a guitar is not something you’re used to. And, without any reference for assigning notes to, you would most likely find it impossible to tune the E string.
There are solutions you could try.
1. Play the E on a piano. Then pluck away on your guitar’s low-E string until you hit the right note.
2. Use a tuner. Purists would consider it cheating as this does not really help you learn to play a guitar the painful way. But hey, you’re a newbie. You do what you have to.
3. Use the telephone. The dial tone makes the perfect F note. Simulate this sound and you can easily move on to the remaining strings.
Mastering a new instrument is not easy but if you’re determined to learn to play a guitar, how could anyone or any string stand in your way?
