You can use a guitar to play anything from death metal to
classical and everything in between. Learning to play guitar is more
approachable than many other instruments, once you master a few basics. You,
too, can learn how to get started teaching yourself to play Learn Guitar In

Important things In Playing Guitar
Identify the parts of the guitar. Whether you're playing an
electric or an acoustic guitar, the instrument is essentially wood and metal.
Copper-wound strings vibrate to create sound. The wooden body resonates that
sound to create the warm tones we associate with a guitar.
• The strings
run between the headstock of the guitar, where they are affixed totuning pegs
that can be rotated to tighten and slacken them, and the bridge, where they're
fixed to the guitar's body. On an acoustic guitar, the strings are fixed to the
bridge with removable pegs, and on an electric guitar the strings are generally
strung through a eyelet.
• The neck of
the guitar is the long wooden piece of wood, flat on one side (this is called
the fretboard) and curved on the other. The fretboard is inlaid with metalfrets
that demarcate the different notes.
• An acoustic
guitar will have a sound hole in the body where the sound will resonate, while an
electric guitar will have as many as three magnetic pickupswhich will channel
the sound through an amplifier.
Hold the guitar correctly. Before you start wailing like
Hendrix, make sure you're holding your guitar right. If you're right handed,
you'll play the guitar by strumming about halfway between the sound hole and
the bridge with your right hand and fretting the strings on the neck with your
left hand.
• To play your
guitar, sit up in a straight-backed chair or stool. When you orient the guitar
to your body, the smallest string should be pointed toward the ground and the
thickest string should be pointed up at the ceiling. Hold the back of the
guitar so it touches your stomach and chest and rests on the leg of your
strumming/picking hand.
• The guitar
should be held mostly with your leg and by cradling it in your body. Your left
hand is used to stabilize the neck and fret the strings. Hold the neck in the V
created by your thumb and forefinger. You should be able to smoothly move your
left hand up and down the neck without having to hold it up.
• Even if you
hold the guitar correctly, you may experience some discomfort while getting
used to playing. Do not become discouraged if your shoulder hurts in addition
to your neck, arms and hands. You will eventually get used to it.
Tune the guitar. It's no fun to play a guitar that's not in
tune and can lead to some bad habits when you're first starting out. Tuning
regularly will also familiarize you with which string and fret combinations
correspond with which notes.
• First learn
the name of each string. From the lowest to highest pitch (thickest to thinnest
strings) the strings are named E, A, D, G, B, and E (after the note played when
the string is plucked with no fingers touching it). Use a mnemonic to remember
this order, such as Eddie Ate Dynamite Good Bye Eddie.
• Electric
tuners are easy to use and very accurate. Hold it to the guitar and pluck the
high E. The tuner will tell you if the guitar is "sharp" (too high)
or "flat" (too low). Pick each note and tighten the string to make it
go higher, or give it some slack to lower it. Make sure the room is quiet when
using a tuner because the microphone on the tuner can pick up other sounds.
• If you
cannot afford a tuner, you can also tune your guitar without one by matching
each note to the corresponding note on the piano.
Practice fretting the strings. The frets are the metal
strips that run perpendicular to the strings that mark each note. To play a note,
press your finger down between the metal strips, not on them. To say that
you're playing the third fret means that you place your finger on the string in
the gap between the second and third fret. Hold the string down firmly so that
it only vibrates between your finger and your strumming hand, with the tip of
your finger doing the pressing.
• Every time
you move from one fret to another, the resulting pitch will be half a step
higher as you move toward the body and a half step lower as you move toward the
headstock. Practice moving up and down the fretboard, pressing the frets and
getting a feel for the pressure you need to use to play a note.
Hold the pick. A pick, or plectrum, is a small tear-shaped
piece of plastic used for picking out individual notes and strumming the
guitar. They're cheap and available at any music retailer. While it's not
essential to learn to play guitar with a pick, it's most generally the way to
start.
• Make a fist
with your picking hand and your thumb flat on top of your curled fingers. Hold
the pick by grasping it perpendicular to to your fist between your thumb and
index finger, with no more than a few centimeters of the smaller end sticking
out of your hand.
Playing Chords
Learn first position chords. A chord is a harmonic group of
at least three notes. For beginning guitar, there are two basic chord types:
first position chords, and barre chords. First position chords can be played
with a combination of open strings and pressed strings in the first three frets
of the guitar.
• Commonly
major chords are C Major, A Major, G Major, E Major, D Major.
• When you've
got the shapes down, practice switching between them as quickly as you can.
Write out more or less random arrangements of the chords you want to play and
switch between them, strumming once.
• Make sure
you play the appropriate notes. In A Major, for example, the low E string is
not strummed. They'll be marked on the tablature with an "X". Develop
good habits now for success in the long run.
Practice getting a clean sound. After you had placed all
your fingers on the fretboard, play through each of the strings of the chords.
Make sure that the strings that are supposed to ring are not muffled or muted.
• If the notes
are not ringing out properly, chances are that you are not pressing hard enough
or parts of your fingers are touching that string which prevents it from
sounding out clearly. Are any unused fingers touching strings?
• Keep the fretting fingers curled at all
times they're touching the strings, as if you had your fingers resting over an
imaginary glass ball, or a marble in the knuckle of each finger.
