Learn How to Play Guitar Right Now From Your Couch

It is not that guitar is easy to learn, it requires as much commitment and practice as any other instrument if you want to be good. However, the majority of guitar players are self taught, many of them play only in company, and often they learn on a couch. So, as silly as it may sound, you really can learn how to play guitar right now from your own couch.

There are several very simple steps to learning how to play guitar this way. First of all, make sure you have a guitar and make sure you have a couch. Although, the simple fact is that you could quite easily learn without either. The flexibility on the need for a couch is obvious, but to learn without having a guitar – this you might think is odd.

Let me introduce you to a wonderful thing called guitar tab. Guitar tab, shows you what your fingers should be doing in order to play particular chords, and then what chords you should play in order to play a particular song. Therefore, you can actually learn the chords, learn the finger movements, learn a song without actually having a guitar. But then what would be the point of that?

So, assuming you have a guitar, make yourself comfortable and check out the following diagrams. Consider each diagram to correspond to your guitar strings with the top string, the thin one being the e; and the bottom one, the thick one being the E. If you get confused, look at the numbers in the brackets, these are telling you what number string it is from top to bottom.

The numbers not in the brackets are telling you on which fret to place your fingers for that string. So, for example in the first diagram, you will not place any fingers on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 6th strings, but you will place your fingers on 4th and 5th string, and for both of them you will press down on the second fret from the end. Practice making these finger formations, and then start practicing moving between them.

e (1)|-0————–|
B (2)|-0————–|
G (3)|-0————–|
D (4)|-2————–|
A (5)|-2————–|
E (6)|-0————–|

e (1)|-3————–|
B (2)|-3————–|
G (3)|-0————–|
D (4)|-0————–|
A (5)|-2————–|
E (6)|-3————–|

e (1)|-0————–|
B (2)|-3————–|
G (3)|-0————–|
D (4)|-2————–|
A (5)|-3————–|
E (6)|-x————–|

e (1)|-2————–|
B (2)|-3————–|
G (3)|-2————–|
D (4)|-0————–|
A (5)|-X————–|
E (6)|-X————–|

Once you have made these formations you can now start strumming the strings with your other hand. If there is an “x” on a line, do not strum that string.
