How to play the guitar (1st Tips)

The 1st tips on "How To Play The Guitar"

When You Start (before playing)
Make sure your equipment is well organized and your guitar is properly tuned because there is no point playing your guitar right and it still sounds wrong. Besides that, try to find a quiet place that is free from distraction and a spacious place so that u can feel comfortable while you are playing. This helps to learn fast because you can concentrate better and it will make things easier.

Be Familiar With Your Guitar
Try to be familiar with your guitar like learning some parts of your guitar. For example, how many pick-ups does your guitar have or how many frets does your guitar have. This is because different guitars make different types of sounds. You will start to find out as your experience grows and hopefully you will be able to enjoy making sounds from your guitar.

Be Familiar With Your Skill Level
You would not want to learn songs that are too difficult for you to play because you will be having a tough time trying to play and you will not enjoy playing guitar. My advice is to begin with easier songs or songs that fits your standard. Especially for beginners, pick up some old songs that involves easy strumming patterns. REMEMBER an eagle must first learn to walk before it can fly. Similar to learning how to play the guitar, you must first start small and then work your way up until you feel more confident to continue your progress into a more advanced level.

Stick To Your Knowledge
When you have the basics sorted out and are ready to move on into a more advanced level, try to find songs that you know or heard before. Songs that you like or familiar with. After picking a song, try to play exactly what the songs sounds like. Not just that, music sheets or scores of songs are available everywhere and this is one of the most benefit way to learn how to play the guitar.

Increase Experience And Confidence
Whenever you feel that you are ready to progress, try to focus your time on a specific song. When you have mastered that song, call up your friends or family and show of your skills to them. This is a really good training because it boost up your confidence and experience playing infront of people. Besides that, playing guitar is to be enjoyed by everybody, not sitting alone listening to youself play.
