Thanks

hey thanks for that dude.. i am new to guitar.. and u knw wat... its been just one week since.. i have been learnig..

so can u tell me what is the first step i should do .. so that my learning is better and faster..

thanks,
Tarang

 

practice practice and more practice. The more time you dedicate to practicing, the faster you will pick up things.

 

first step will be to start listening to songs which has tons of guitars in it ... by that i dont mean u pickup Malmsteen and start listening (better if u do so ) ... but just simple plain songs where u can make out the guitar being played ... something like "Hotel California" ... :grin: ... almost everyone who started playing guitar listened to that song ...

in parallel u will havta learn the chords (atleast the commonly encountered ones - like the ones mentioned in this thread ...

now u try to get the chords for the songs u have been listening to ... u may get it from here ... or from google/clusty/any other search engine u prefer ...
and play the songs ... try to be as close to the original song as possible ... here your non-playing friends will help ... (yeah u will havto sing along coz many ppl cannot recognise a song just from its chords) ...

if your frends find it acceptable ... then probably it is acceptable ... and lo you have learnt a song ... (plus a few chords nd chord progressions) ...

 

ok my advice pick u an easy song the easeiest guitar song with easy basic chords
try to get the strumming pattern

then start to strum one chords after the other

try easy songs like lucky ali's oh sanaam

it has G C Am E i think




but if u r an absolute beginner try tabs first to adapt ur fingers to fretboard!!!!!

 

cool work dude. hopin newbies can get benifit frm it

 

welcome

welcome dude ...
me guess this was your first post ...

 

Good post dude ,,,

Welcome to IGT ....

well everyone thanks for comments but all newbies should first work on tabs to get their fingers wild over the board ......

first play some easy tab songs

thanks again

 

Well good work for the newbies.....welcome aboard n00bs..

 

Thanks alot !!!!!!!

 

i dont understand wht ur telling faraz.. for example take F chord, you say tht u have to hold 6 frets, one each in every string, how the hell can i do tht? i have only 5 fingers and i cant use my thumb(noone can).. i know i'm sounding kind of dumb, but pls help me out

 

@farhana

lets hope this ends your confusion.

the f major chord implements what is caled the great barre shape. in this shape you stretch your index finger flat across the fretboard parallel to and just behind a particular fret. then you use your other fingers to finger the remaining positions. for example in f, you stretch ur index finger across the first fret, then put ur middle finger on 3rd string 2nd fret, ur pinky on 4th string 3rd fret, and ur ring fing on 5th string 3rd fret. then you see you have executed the chord exactly the way its written, without using five fingers.
