Want to play guitar? Don’t know how to go about it? Here are your options! We’ll help you go through the easy steps!

Wow! Now you’ve decided to play the guitar! The problem now is, “where do I start from?” never fear, for there are a lot of reasonable ways by which you can launch your guitar learning career. Depending on which suits you – and which seems more fun – there are many options available. One of these is the internet. You can access online guitar lesson via the web – using e-books. You can arrange for a private tutor to teach you, or have a group guitar lesson. Alternatively, if you are one for AV’s   – audiovisuals – you may savor the opportunity to learn using videos, CD’s and DVD’s. My personal recommendation is that you have brief but steady lessons over a period of weeks. Believe me, I’ve seen it work magic before.

I am almost 100% sure that your first lessons on guitar training will begin with simple stuff as lessons on the basic parts that make up the guitar, the guitar pick, how to place your fingers on the strings, chords and chord notations, how to strum the guitar and the pressure factor. You might to learn how to play a couple of songs, too. You may learn how to make minor repairs to the guitar, as well as how to tune it.

For your first lesson, you won’t be needing anything fancy: just a simple setting with three basics: your guitar (six stringed, mind you), the guitar pick and an armless chair. The point to harp on here is the choice of pick. Since you are a beginner, I suggest that you get as many picks as possible of various sizes to see which will suit your palms. If you are thinking that is a little bit extravagant, hey, look on the bright side! At least if you misplace one, you have spares! Here’s a tip from much years of observation: most beginners tend to favor the medium gauge pick.

For your subsequent lessons, your guitar should be tuned. I expect that by now, you should have been taught how to tune your guitar. If, for some reasons whatsoever, you are unlucky to not have been taught, you could purchase a guitar tuner to tune your guitar. This shouldn’t cost much and are quite easy to use.

Before you start splashing in the sea of “real music”, you will have to first learn basic chords. These are chords, G, C and D, all of them majors, of course. When you have learnt these, and become able to interchange and transpose them, then you can be said to have “come into the music”/

Remember, revision is vital. Constantly, revise what you have been taught for at least 15 minutes daily. You should pay more attention to tuning your guitar. Also try to you’re your mind – at least most of it – on your scales and chords.

If your thumbs and fingers ache dully at the beginning, fear not. It is a normal part of the process. You might remedy the situation by switching to a guitar with less taut strings.
