Hope this helps!

Answer 2

When my daughter started taking guitar lessons, I wanted her to learn to read music. I think it's better for people who play musical instruments to really know what they're doing rather than play exclusively by ear. It helped her when she picked up the cello. She can go through a sheet of music and actually hum out the melody. A lot of people who play musical instruments do learn to play more than one and being able to read music really helps.

Answer 3

You don't need to learn to read music. That has scared more people away than you would believe. You need to train your ear to hear chord changes and remember melodies and the best way I found was to learn chords first. Find a local music store with a teacher who offers beginner lessons and go for it. Everyone moves at their own rate so don't feel you're too slow - or fast! Good luck!

Answer 4

do you have a guitar yet? even though you're a novice, it helps to hold something that feels the most comfortable (test "drives" are a good idea); fits your fret hand well (gonna be a lot of action there); plays (action); and sounds the way you think it should. regardless of the instruction, if you're constantly fighting with your instrument for control, you're not going to enjoy the experience and your progress will be affected.

Answer 5

I would suggest that you take lessons from an instructor, or go to your local library and check out some how-to-play-the-guitar books. They are free at the library. :)

Answer 6

well, a good way to start with guitar is tabs. their pretty easy to read, and you can basically start straight away. also youtubes good for lessons

Answer 7

of course you must start it from the master of it. or you can buy some book of it to learn it yourself, then one think you should remember, it's very important.
" keep training "

don't be bored to do it, OK?
