The guitar is a fretted musical instrument that typically has six strings. It is held flat against the player's body and played by strumming or plucking the strings with the dominant hand, while simultaneously pressing selected strings against frets with the fingers of the opposite hand.

My goal is to provide you with the best information on how to get better in playing instruments you’re interested in learning about, and to help you make informed decisions about you and your future.

When it comes in guitar or music, it’s never too late to learn as much as possible. I'll do my best to teach you to become a pro.

HOW I LEARNED TO PLAY A GUITAR

How I Learned to Play the Guitar Guitar is one of the most popular musical instruments to learn because of its versatility and portability. When I was in high school, I had an abundance of leisure time. I wanted to do something meaningful and fun instead of wasting time on playing video games, so I decided to learn a musical instrument. Honestly speaking, I was a good singer; however, singing without a musical instrument to accompany me seemed strange. That is why I made up my mind to learn to play the guitar. Now I realize that I made a wise decision.

To learn to play the guitar, I bought a guitar and a guitar pick. In addition, like playing other instruments, learning to play the guitar requires the love of music, perseverance, and patience. I learned some basic knowledge about the guitar and how to tune it. To illustrate, the neck of the guitar is divided by the strings from the left to the right and by the frets into sections from the top to the bottom. Moreover, every guitar has six strings and each string has a different size and note value. Each time before playing, I need to tune the strings. The tuning process is important for getting the right sound when I play.

Next, I began to learn to play the chords, which are made up of different combination of notes. Each time I played the chords, a unique sound was created. The knowledge of the function of the frets and strings helped me identify the chords’ locations easily. There are a lot of chords on the guitar, but I could only memorize the most common chords. I could search for other chords online when I needed them. Now I can play the most important and fundamental five ‘major’ chords. I spend more than 30 minutes every day practicing without looking at the diagram of chords.

Why you should learn to play a Guitar?

One of the key benefits of playing guitar is that you will become more confident as you progress and become more skilled. Introduces a new way to communicate. Being able to express yourself through your guitar playing should be an exciting experience for any beginner. Improves your memory.

Learning to play an instrument stimulates the brain cells, improving functions like memory and abstract reasoning skills, which are essential for math and science. Music, in general, helps bring balance and harmony in one's life. Children who learn to play an instrument have an outlet for creativity and their emotions.

10 BASIC GUITAR TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW

You can advance quickly from a beginner to an intermediate guitarist by studying and mastering these guitar terms..

1. TUNING

Nothing says amateur like an out-of-tune guitar. Take the time to learn how to tune your guitar quickly and accurately. With modern technology, you can even have a tuner on your phone, so there’s really no excuse for playing out of tune.

2. CHORD

Learning guitar chords is relatively simple, and you will feel a great sense of accomplishment once you’ve mastered the basic chords. A chord is when more than one pitch sounds at a time. (To be technically correct, a two-note chord is called a diad.)

3. CHORD SYMBOL

Guitarists know which chords to play in a song by reading the chord symbols. Chord symbols can be quite simple or very complex. The chord symbol includes the letter that represents the chord. That letter can be followed by other symbols to designate variations. You can learn how to play a chord by looking at a fretboard diagram.

4. FRETBOARD DIAGRAM

You can find fretboard diagrams for almost any chord by searching the online for “guitar chords.” In a simple fretboard diagram, the top parallel line represents the nut, and the lines below represent the first four frets. The vertical lines represent the six strings of the guitar. The dots show you where to place your fingers. The “o” represents an open string. Fretboard diagrams can also include fret numbers and barre symbols.

5. TABS (tablature)

Tabs indicate where to place your fingers on the guitar. Tabs are a little more complex than fretboard diagrams, and they can be used to show melodies and more advanced techniques. In short, the lines represent the strings and the numbers indicate where to fret the string. Learning to play tabs will open up a whole new world of music.

6. STRUMMING

Strumming is the most common way to play guitar chords. Strumming is the act of drawing your fingers or pick across the strings so that all or most of the strings sound at once. The simplest strumming pattern is a top-to-bottom movement that strikes the strings on each beat. To be a well-rounded musician, learn to play a variety of strum patterns.

7. PICKING"

The act of using a pick or your fingers to play individual notes on the guitar is called picking. It’s called fingerpicking when you do this with your finger. Use picking to play a melody or to play the individual notes of a chord one after another, which is called an arpeggio. The tab below has a familiar melody followed by a chord arpeggio.

8. OPEN CHORD

An open chord is played using open strings on the guitar. These are the simplest chords to learn, and are a great place for beginners to start. Here are some of the most common open chords.

9. BARRE CHORDS

You can play a barre chord by laying your index finger over all or some of the strings. You will see a curved line on the barre chords in a fretboard diagram.

Barre chords allow you to play many more types of chords, but they’re much harder to learn and may take some practice before you gain the strength and skill to play them well.

10. CAPO

A capo is a simple device that clamps down on the strings to create a permanent barre over the strings. A capo allows you to play open chords in the higher frets. Learning to use a capo will help you play in many more keys without having to learn all of the barre chords. A capo can also make some keys much easier to play. If you learn these guitar terms and practice the basic techniques, you will be a well-rounded player ready to take on greater challenges and more difficult music.
