Answer 2

-If you have the money and aspire to be a great guitar player, get down to a music store, ask if they have teachers who give guitar lessons (private one-on-one is best), and once you have that teachers contact number, call. If the teacher doesn't have any spaces, keep checking at different music stores. -Practice makes permanent -Don't compare yourself to other guitarists, just look at great guitar players as role models and not as competition. What matters is YOUR progress. -Practice at the same time every day and make goals to reach at the end of each session. Doing this will make your practice sessions more useful and will make you a better player. -Your fingertips (fretting hand) will hurt for a few days or weeks, and will go away once you keep practicing. -Have fun! Yes, it will be frustrating but if you turn that into motivation then everything will be fine and you'll start enjoying yourself more playing guitar.

Listen to "Moya" if you'e fingers aren't hurting, or even bleeding you need to play more. learn all the chords first, how to play them w/o looking at the guitar, b/c any song of any type of music has chords in it, so you will always need these chords in order to play a song. Eventually, you can learn to solo, which is playing lead guitar inside the chords of a song. Good Luck-no matter how good one is at guitar, there's someone better out there!

Answer 4

a tips that i learnt while learning how to play a chord, is to press in the fingerboard the position, strum for perhaps 4 counts, then let go and press back. do it several times till it "gets in". muscle memory. :) have a wide repertoire of songs, and play widely, cos there is lots to learn out there. self learning how the guitar works is great too.

Answer 5

The easiest thing to do is go to a search engine like Google or Ask.com and simple search "(Artist or song name) Guitar Tabs." That should get you just about any song you want to know.

Answer 6

1 - learn to read music, not just tab. if you only learn tab, you severely limit what you can play.

2- take lessons if you can. a teacher can show you proper technique and catch mistakes you are making better than any book.

3- learn scales and techniques, not just songs. learning songs is fun and will keep you interested, but unless you learn the scales, chords, and music theory that goes into them, you wont advance.

Answer 7

The best tip I ever got: If you still have feeling in your fingers after practising, you haven't practised enough.
