You need a guitar! Well that’s obvious isn’t it?

But before you do that in case if you haven’t got one, or you considering to get another one, and since this is a beginner guitar lesson, let’s us start with anything you need to know about guitar. I’m sure most of you have already know what a guitar looks like, how it played, and what the sounds like. But for those who haven’t… Well, I really don’t know what to say to you. I mean common people, it’s guitar! How strange can it be? It’s not some short of super weird traditional musical instrument from out of nowhere. It’s a guitar!

Ok now, you know what a guitar is, but I’m sure not all of you know what type of guitar you have. In fact even some guitar players still don’t know the types of guitars! I’m not kidding! They’ve played it but still some don’t know what type of guitar they’re playing. So I think it would be good if as beginner we should know any of these materials:

• Guitar Types
  It’s just something you need to know about the types of guitars, like what its like, what kinda strings they’re have, what are they used for, etcetera, etcetera.
• Guitar Tonewoods
  As you know most guitars are made of woods. We’re going a lil’ physic here, in case you don’t know that a guitar sound is made of strings struck resonate by its wooden body. That’s why you’ll see a hole in its body, to resonance the sound and make it louder. And that’s why any woods materials a guitar made of should be impact on the sound quality that will produce. And you’ll be step ahead of any guitar players if you know about this stuff.
• Buying a Guitar
  Well that’s easy. But not as easy as it looks. You’ll deal with hundreds choices that will blur your mind. But this cover will help you where to buy a good guitar from.

Right, now that you have your guitar, it’s time to do something about it. It’s time you learn how to play it. And the first lesson a guitar player should have is to work on those weak and lame fingers. Remember, you’ll play guitars with your fingers. And there’s nothing better to train those fingers than chords. It’s a great way to practice.

So I would like you to try these particular chords first:

• Guitar Power Chords
  Okay these aren’t technically chords actually, but it showed up in any songs that requires guitar playing. I mean they’re everywhere. And you can’t call yourself a guitar player if you don’t know any of these chords.
• Basic Guitar Chords
  Now here comes the real parts, after learning those now it’s time for you to move on to the real deal. And these basic are the staple of any beginner guitar lesson everywhere.

Let’s move on then, after you’ve done practicing any of those chords, it should makes you familiar to hold your guitar. Next is to practice the movement of your fingers. Go ahead to guitar playing techniques page where you will learn what the different techniques are and how to tie them all together. Just take it easy. Your speed and technical proficiency will come in practice. Just keep on going.
