3 Brilliant Tips for Playing the Guitar

April 10, 2020 by kj Leave a Comment

Playing the guitar is so cool. However, not everyone who plays it. One has to get lessons on how to do it or simply learn by themselves. The best advice, however, is to find someone who can teach how to go about it. You see, there are many things to learn, and you may not know them if you lack someone guiding you.

It may prove to be hard to strike a good tune at the beginning. However, be patient as you keep rehearsing. You have just begun the long journey. You are not like guitarists who can produce creep chords, but you will soon be able to sound better. You should not yet expect too much, especially when you are starting out. Things will turn out slowly as you learn and just be assured that being a pro is just around the corner. Here are tips to help.

Begin here: Learn Guitar chords

When starting out, a lot of people wonder how they can really play the guitar fast. This should not bother you, though. You see, the baby steps you are taking will lead to you to the pro level. Thus, if you want to be playing it first, you first have to learn how to play the chords slowly and correctly. You could start by listening to chords to knocking on heaven’s door.

Speed is actually not crucial when starting out. The most important thing to think about is learning to play chords. Start doing is slow and correct. You will eventually be able to play the guitar as fast as you wish. But speed comes naturally once you have mastered the art of chords. One thing that many beginners overlook when learning the guitar is the playability of the instrument. If the guitar is difficult to play then there is a chance that the setup might be off. One can look at the guides online or on MusicCritic to properly setting a guitar.

Know the chords you are playing

You should make sure to know which chords you are currently playing. In some cases, one can slightly alter chords for a better effect. However, knowing the chord, you are currently playing can help you not to get into bad habits. Thus, you should find a way to get corrected when you get astray with chords. Perhaps, an app can be a powerful tool for that purpose.

Keep off distractions

Yeah, it pays off to even close your eyes while playing the guitar. You do not have to face everyone or even everything that passes by. You should concentrate entirely on the guitar. This also helps even the experts. You will see many musicians on stage playing their music without looking at the guitar.

Thus, when playing the guitar, that is after you have mastered a few chords, just look away from the guitar or close your eyes and do it perfectly. That way, you will become better. Once you know how to play it well with eyes far away from the fretboard, then you can even stage some music for your friends at a local pub and have them enjoy your tunes.

Conclusion

The above tips are about helping you to better your skills in guitar playing. You can start today and, with time, become a great guitarist. Do not be afraid to start and even slower. Learn the basics, to be able to identify the chords you are playing, and finally, try to look away from the fretboard when playing the guitar.
