How should I go about learning how to play the guitar?

By admin On September 4, 2010 · 6 Comments

So, I reeeaalllly wanna learn. I have an old electric in my house with the amp but while playing around with trying to tune it, i broke 3 strings lol =P. I wanna learn How To Play Guitar myself because I don’t have the money for Guitar Lessons. How should I start and go along? I know and can play a few chords like G major, C major, E minor, D minor because my friends likes to show me and let her play on her guitar. Should I start like that, just memorizing all the chords?

Help appreciated =]

you could watch free lessons on the INTERNET, YouTube for example (go on and type how to play "the name of the song" on guitar)(or how to play the AM chord)(or "beginner guitar lesson number 1" and they will start from the complete bottom for complete beginners its easy to follow) or "freeguitarlessons.com" (i think that’s what its called) online lessons are helpful and some of them explain really well that’s how i started
but you could start by finding a song you like that has those chords in it and start by practice to move your fingers from chord to chord in tempo. then when you reach that level you could start learning more chords, as to not confuse your self by taking in too much information at one time. you just need to practice ALOT and try not to get bored because everything at the beginning is difficult and a pain when you cant do it at the first, second or third trial you just need to stick to it the first parts the hardest. GOOD LUCK!

Without lessons, get books, charts and videos.

Go on youtube, it really helps. Go onto websites and learn more chords then go onto youtube and type in a song like "how to play taylor swift fifteen on acoustic guitar" and people show you how to play it, thats helped me learn alot!

learn simple chords, practice simple strumming, and its always good to have someone with more experience to guide u and kind of help u get the flow of things. don’tt try to rush it because it will take time and patience truly is a virtue. just keep practicing and perfecting simple tasks.
