[Your Guitarist] Acoustic Guitar Lessons For Beginners

[Jan King]

A building is strong only when the foundation is right. It's the same
case when we begin learning a new art. When we begin learning
something new, we should start building our knowledge on that subject
in a very structured manner. We need to start right from the scratch,
where we need to begin learning everything from the basics, because
without the basics your knowledge will be incomplete and we can falter
at any time.
So, if we are learning to play the guitar, we cannot directly start
with the more advanced chords and advanced techniques. If you really
want to learn and master guitar, then you need to start right from the
basics and gradually build up on your basics knowledge and add on more
and more additional information about guitar playing in order to
increase our knowledge base on guitars. You must learn many different
things in order to get started with playing the acoustic guitar. First
of all, you would need to familiarize yourself with the absolute
basics about guitar such as the different parts of a guitar,
introduction to the guitar strings, how to hold a guitar, correct
posture, tuning the guitar, how to change the guitar strings, correct
right and left hand positioning and movement techniques, etc.
Once you have learnt all these aspects, you can graduate over to
topics of more importance and complexity, such as learning to read
musical notations and guitar tablature, learning about key signatures
and clefs, different types of notes and rhythms, understanding and
recognizing scales (major, minor and pentasonic scales), ear training
techniques, exercises for improving finger agility and strength,
importance of tempo, timing and intervals, finger-picking, etc. After
learning all these basic skills, you can then start learning various
aspects of guitar chords such as the introduction to basic major
chords (such as A major, C major, D major, E major and G major) and
basic minor chords (such as A minor, D minor and E minor), chord
progressions, understanding chord diagrams, how to make smooth chord
transitions, etc.
Once you have learn everything about basic chords, then you must learn
about the basic strumming patterns, strumming techniques, strumming
exercises, identifying melody, harmony, phrasing, and many other
important basic components of guitar playing. Learning so many
different aspects of guitar playing is definitely not going to be an
easy task and will require a lot of your time and efforts but if you
really want to learn & master guitar, then this is an inevitable
target to achieve.
