What You Need To Know To Learn To Play The Guitar Quickly
If you want to learn to play the guitar quickly, you need to build a solid foundation. I'm serious, it may seem tedious, but this is truly the fastest way to learn to play the guitar. The first thing you must learn is guitar tuning. If you try to learn to play with your guitar not in tune, you will either never be able to get the right sound, or you will totally train your ear to not recognize the right sound.
While you are there, you may as well pick up a chart that shows all the notes on the guitar. Now with your guitar tuned, and your chart by your side, you're ready to begin learning. Start by memorizing the notes, all the way up the neck. If you find this super boring, you can do this while you watch TV. The important part at this point is the fingering of the notes, not the actual playing of them. Memorize those notes.
Once you have memorized the notes on the guitar, you can learn some basic chords. The G chord is played at the third fret, sixth string - which is the bass E string- is played in the third fret, preferably with the fourth finger, The A string, next one down, is played in the second fret with the third finger, and the first string, high E or bottom, is played also in the third fret with the baby finger. The rest of the strings are open, strum this and you're playing the G chord.
To play the D chord simply place your number 1 finger on the G string, or third string from bottom, in the second fret, your number 2 finger on the high E string, or bottom, in the second fret, and your number 3 finger on the B string, or string between E and G, in the third fret. Now, you guessed it, strum this and play D.
The A chord is really simple, The B, G, and D strings are all played in the second fret. Many people are able to play all three strings with just their index and middle fingers, while some of us use index, middle and ring fingers. That's the A chord, now if you play it with your third finger on the B string, your second finger on the D string and your first, or index, finger on the G string, it makes switching to A7 really, really easy. Simply lift your index finger off, and now you're playing A7.
Practice playing these chords and switching around between them. Learn as many chords as you can find the positioning for. The more chords you learn, the more your flexibility will increase.
An alternate practice method you can play with, is to practice picking the notes on your guitar, I know you've already mastered them, but now you can use them to master training your ear. Pick a note on your guitar, and try to sing it.
Once you can play a note, then sing it, you can try reversing the order. Sing it, then pick it. Then listen to some of your music and try playing along, and guess what. You have managed to learn to play the guitar quickly. - 23812
