I brought a guitar last month, from Lajpat nagar (Delhi), my tutor told me its good, i have started my guitar classes but been in Xth class (CBSE) i dont get time to attend my classes, but i am really intrested in playing it. i have got a electronic tuner onto my pc which is working good for now, and i use Guitar Pro 5, to learn a couple of songs.. but i still cant understand sometimes stuff like whats a dead note 'X' and whats the differnce between playing, ------6-------- ---5----------- or -------6------- -------5------- are there any good online guides which can be used for learning over the net, or anything that i am doing wrong here.. thanks for reading!
Dead note: you muffle the string with your left finger. And then pick. You will hear only percussive sound like "thik" or "thak" depepnding on your guitar tone. ------6-------- ---5----------- means you first play teh 5th fret, then the 6th fret. -------6------- -------5------- means you play BOTH 5th as well as 6th fret, simultaneously
whats the difference between playing. 5th fret then 6 and playing them together they will sound same, or should i have a pause between ------6-------- ---5----------- and the dead note, can you please tell me what do you mean by muffling the string// thx btw :]
