How to learn to play the guitar?

Anyone who wants to learn how to play the guitar willy-nilly, there are hundreds of questions of this kind: "how to learn to play the guitar?", "Is it difficult to play the guitar?", "For 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 information from my friends by bit ... Now everything is much simpler.

Just want to say that learning how to play the guitar - it's not difficult. It all depends on your self-control, the desire and the time that you are willing to devote to learning. If you are patient, you have a great desire to play, then everything will turn out!

So, you have a guitar and a desire to learn how to play. We collect our motivation into a fist ... let's go!

First you need to familiarize yourself with the tuning of the guitar - you can not play an instrument that is not prepared for the game. The guitar can be tuned completely independently, and you can adjust it using the tuner or through the online setting. The tuner is a special device that indicates whether the string is tuned or not. If it shows that it is not configured, then the string needs to be raised / lowered. Thus, having tuned each string, you will adjust the entire guitar. Is the guitar tuned? So you can start directly to learn.

First you need to familiarize yourself with the landing when playing the guitar. Usually you can find arguments everywhere about how to sit properly while playing the guitar. For example, in a musical school they teach a classical planting, when the neck is higher than the deck. However, many professionals when playing the guitar keep it straight, without tilting ... It's up to you. In my opinion, there should be no clear rules for planting, you need to sit as you like.

After that, you need to read what chords are, what a fight is, what they are . Find out what movements are made with the right and left hand while playing the guitar. Combat and brute force is a complex of movements that are performed by the right game, near the resonator opening. Chords - a special position of the hands (fingers) of the left hand on the neck. After learning a few chords and a fight, for example, fighting 6-ka and chords Am, Dm, E, C, G, A, you can easily play your first song. Often, their first song is played, having learned only 3-4 chords and one fight - fight 6-ka. For example, many as their first song play "Pass", "Star named Sun" or "Cigarette pack" of the "Cinema" group. Guitarist from this you still will not, but the basics of assimilation. After that, you should increase your knowledge in the number of chords, battles and bruising. It is compulsory to learn the chords of Em, H7, D. After them it is necessary to proceed to the study of barre-chords. Beginning follows the chord F.

Most importantly - after the first song you will have a huge motivation charge, which will steadily push you to improve your game skills. On the Internet, by the way, there are very high-quality video lessons and analysis on many simple songs that you can easily master in a short time. I would advise you to begin by studying the songs "Pass", "Star by the name of the Sun", "The pack of cigarettes", "Bending the guitar yellow", "What is autumn" , etc. Many simple songs can be found among army songs or marching songs.

Having learned enough chords, having learned to quickly put and change them, it is necessary to familiarize with tablatures. Tablatures are a special way of recording how to play music. It looks something like six strings drawn on which are alternately indicated, where and how to clamp the strings. If the chords can all be learned, then tablatures - from the category "the more I know, the less I know." There are a myriad of them, they are replenished every day. Tablatures allow you to study modern music and songs of different focus and complexity, starting with "Grasshopper" on one string and ending with the most complicated arrangements. Learning what tablatures are, learning how to use them, you will discover a huge world of songs and tunes that modern musicians, bands play on the guitar.

Together with the study of chords, tablatures, battles and busts, you will meet many different techniques of sound production, for example: flazholets, pull-offs, hummers, vibrato, glissando, etc. For example, flayoletons are performed by tweaking a string and simultaneously drowning it. Natural flageolets are executed on 12 fret, artificial - on any. They all make the sound more beautiful, complement the game with special notes. They are not difficult, if you study everything gradually, and do not jump to a level that you can not do.

Thus, learning how to play the guitar is not as difficult as it might seem to you at first. Advice for those who want to start - start !.
