The Right Way to Play Guitar

By Frank Mitchell


Women normally adore the musicians, and one of the greatest instruments to use would be the guitar. The guitar is actually rather easy to play, but it will require a lot of effort and training by you. Not only will you need to practice with your left hand to set your fingers perfectly on the guitar strings, but you'll need to synchronize with your right hand to play the guitar.

First, you need to understand the layout of the guitar. The body of the guitar is the area that you hold, and the neck is a long wooden shaft that's connected to the body. The head of the guitar is the place where the guitar strings end, and are wound in to the keys of the guitar to cause them to become simple to tune. Last but not least, there is the mouth of the guitar from which the music is produced, and the bridge, in which the strings are tied off. A guitar fret is the space in between the 2 metal lines, the first fret is between the metal line and also the plastic bridge at the top of your guitar.

To get started playing the guitar, you have to get your fingers in the correct position. The usual guitar chords that you'll need to memorize are:

E chord: Place your left forefinger on the 4th string on the top of the 1st fret, the long finger on the second string from the top of the 2nd fret, and your ring finger on the third string from the top of the 2nd fret.

A chord: Position your forefinger on the 3rd string on the top of the 2nd fret, your forefinger on the string right below that one on a single fret, your ring finger on the string immediately beneath your index finger on a single fret.

D chord: Position your index finger on the 4th string on the top of the second fret, your long finger on the lower string on a single fret, while your ring finger on the 5th string from the top of the 3rd fret.

G chord: Place your forefinger on the 2nd string on the top of the 2nd fret, the middle finger on the top guitar string on the third fret, your ring finger on the lower string of the third fret.

C chord: Position your index finger on the fifth string on the top of the first fret, the middle finger on the 3rd string from the top on the 3rd fret, while your ring finger on the second string from the top of the fourth fret.

With these basic guitar chords at your side, you can start to practice strumming the guitar with the right hand. Switch the chords often, whilst learning until you end up being good at playing the guitar and also transforming the chords efficiently. After you get these chords down, you can study other basic chords until you can perform any standard song in the book.
