Learn to Play The Guitar

Welcome to Part Four of the Beginners Mini-Course on Learning How to Play the Acoustic Guitar. In today's lesson we have a lot to cover. We will be playing all of the chords that you have learned: C, A minor and D, and we will be trying a new time signature with these chords. Don't worry too much about what this means it will be explained. By now you should be able to play and change between these three chords. If you followed the lessons carefully you should find these exercises a logical and easy progression from what you have previously done. It's great to have you with us...

There are three main types of guitar that you will encounter. They are: Classical Acoustic - Acoustic - Electric Chances are that if you have asked someone if you can use their guitar for a while, it would probably be an old classical acoustic guitar or maybe a steel string acoustic. These guitars are excellent to learn on because electric guitars require things like leads, amps, speakers and power. With acoustic guitars you only need a pick. The other great thing about acoustic guitars is that you can’t turn them up loud. When you are learning it is probably better to play on a guitar that isn’t going too be loud, only loud enough so your ears can hear your errors and your good performances. If you don’t know which types of guitar you want to play on, ask yourself, ‘what kind of music do I want to play?’ Pick a song that you like for its guitar sound. Listen to the guitar sounds and only the guitar sounds.

Guitar Lesson - How to Read Guitar Tablature TAB or tablature is the most common method of writing out music for the guitar. It is different from classical music notation in that; TAB uses ordinary numbers and keyboard characters as opposed to standard musical notation which uses symbols. Because of this format, anyone with a computer can write or read TAB making it the most user friendly way to read and communicate guitar music and therefor the easy way to learn to play the guitar. Also TAB relates directly to the fret board of your guitar meaning that you may easily see where you put your fingers. In the full version of Jamorama, both standard musical notation and tablature are used. But for this six day course we will only use TAB. The reason for this is that tablature is very easy to read and you should have no problems learning TAB in a few short minutes of reading.
