Playing Guitar - Tips To Avoid Newbie Burnout

By Adrian Fletcher

Playing guitar for extended periods of time is really stressful for your back if you don't have good posture. Keeping the following key points in mind should help you maintain a good posture and hold your guitar correctly. When you hold your guitar, the back of the instrument should rest against your stomach. For people who use the right hand for playing guitar, the neck of the guitar will point to their left. The guitar body should rest on your right thigh. Your left hand should go around the guitar's neck while your right arm goes around the body so your hand is near the strings. If it doesn't feel right, try to shift your body around until you feel comfortable and relaxed.

If you're a right handed person you will use the left hand for constructing chords. The fingers of the left hand are bent and you will be pressing down on the strings on the fret board.

The back of the neck of the guitar is curved in order for your hands to fit the around it comfortably. Your thumb bends over the top of the neck and this is a universal thumb position used when constructing chords.Even though the technique is used more often when playing guitar scales, many find it useful to press their thumb into the back of the guitar neck. The most important thing is to find out which position is easier and more comfortable for you.

Strum the strings with your right hand to make sounds. Position your right arm over the body of the guitar. Your right bicep should rest on the top of the guitar. Position your right hand in front of the guitar's sound hole. When playing guitar, the sound comes out of the sound hole.

Picks are commonly used when playing guitar. Hold the pick between the thumb and forefinger of your right hand. Then, pull the pick across the guitar strings. This is similar to plucking the strings with your fingers, but you will want to use a bit more pressure.

If you're left handed, you'll be happy to know that guitars are available for left-handed players. If you can't find a suitable one for playing guitar left-handed, simply buy a regular guitar and have re-stringing done to reverse the order of the strings.

Not only does proper positioning while playing guitar allow you to play for extended periods of time, but it also helps you produce the correct sounds. So take time to learn how to hold the guitar and position your body correctly. - 18423

Guitar for Beginners - Learning to become a Rock Star.

By Ari Cooper-Smith

Guitar for beginners is all about starting from the beginning and learning the basics of playing the guitar. This instrument is often said to be one of the easiest ones to learn. In saying that in order to become a good guitar player you need to practice and spend time playing your guitar. Most of all you must enjoy playing your guitar. Practice hard and have fun with it.

After picking up your guitar the first thing you will want to learn is how to play some chords and perhaps some simple strumming techniques. After learning anything new you should go back and apply it. Practice it until you are confident that you can play it and them move on to learn something new. Don't forget to constantly come back and practice things you have learnt in the past.

One of the most trying stages of learning guitar for beginners is the getting your opposite, strumming hand to be able to hold down the notes and chords you are attempting to play. An acoustic is a little more physically demanding due to the strings being larger but they are still essentially the same thing. You will go through about three or four months (if you practice regularly) of getting this hand to go through the motions of switching notes, hitting chords, and finding scales. While the study of music theory is important for any musician, focusing on the physical part of playing should be your number one objective when starting to play guitar.

After you have learnt how to play notes and move your hand along the the different frets the next thing you will need to work on is the way you strum. Nearly everyone strums their guitar a different way and this will create a different sound. It is crucial that right from the beginning you spend the necessary time learn how to strum your guitar properly. You must master this as you will be strumming a lot.

After you have learn to physically play the guitar and strum you will move on to playing actual songs. As you are learning guitar for beginners you should start of with very simple songs and move your way up. Break down the songs into parts and practice each part until you comfortable playing them. Once you have done this you can put it all together. You will see yourself improving very quickly and you will be able to motivate yourself.

Guitar for beginners should be taken at a regular pace. It will take some time before you are able to play comfortably and with out being self conscious around other people. Always keep it in the back of your mind that anything worth doing is not easy to do and teaching yourself to play guitar is no different. - 18423
