Ok I started formal guitar lessons from... 3rd January (2005!!) i.e. 9 days. Before that I had no idea about how to play a guitar. My sir started off by first explaining the technical ters like what are Frets (Blocks!!) and Paces in a musical notation.

theguitaristofm, ur lesson was very inituitive from the fact that it at least taught me how to type notations!! (No pun intended!)

I don't know anything about chords, etc! Presently, I am told to play Do (G), Re (A)... as fast and as distinctly as possible!

I am just sharing my teacher's knowledge as, I presume, that might help others to learn along with me!

If these be the lines in a notation book! Then:


X
-------------------------------X---------------------
X
------------------------X-----------------------------
X
-----------------X------------------------------------
X
----------X-------------------------------------------
X
---X--------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------
G A B C D E F g (top G)
String: 3 3 2 2 2 1 1 1
Fret: 0 2 0 1 3 0 1 3
Finger: 0 2 0 1 3 0 1 3

If we play sequential... i.e.
First: 3rd String open (no finger anywhere)
Secnd: 3rd String with 2nd finger on 2nd fret
and so on...
In notation book, The first note (G) (i.e. 3rd String played Open) is written by a mark on the 2nd line and second note (A) is written in the gap between the 2nd and 3rd line! (Don't ask me why or why is the first note called 'A' I have no idea!)


Well... those experts out here, if you think this information is worthwhile or if I did any good by putting down these details, then please do reply.
And if you (which I don't think you would) want me to put everything that I am taught in every class, to be put up on this forum, I may then initiate a new thread on this! What say you? All depends upon your feedback and comments!


Looking forward to hear from everyone!

@shamasis we will b really pleased if u could share now of what ur teahcers explains or teaches with us so that we could also improve our guitar knowledge thnx
 
@shamasis well i would like to request u sth
as u said u r a beginner n have a teacher
well many members i igt r learning from others
n dont hae teachers to guide them n so on(i am one
of them)
so if u could plzzzzz post some of the impotant tutorials
or tips u learnt weekly or monthly which will b helpful
to our members

thnx for ur help

well for the other parts of my tutorials i thought abt including signs like
hammer n so on but recently a thread has been made for it
 
playing chords


hi
well first thing this thread is mainly a help for newbies to learn playing
chords
any help or improvement will b appreciated
thnx



well when we play chords we need to know 3 main things
the song(obvious)
the strumming pattern
n the chords to b played


well hope thats clear up to now


we will start part one

how to read chords

ok at times u c things written as C A D Am F or other such things


well chords r playing two or more notes at the same time

u can download the chords dictionary from igt or u have it in guitar pro

one example of a chord is E(easiest one to play)

Its sth such

E---------0--------------------------------------------
B---------0-------------------------------------------
G---------1-------------------------------------------
D---------2--------------------------------------------
A---------2---------------------------------------------
E---------0------------------------------------------


well the zero means u let it open

ie play sting E (thin) B E(thick open)
the 1 means u put ur fingers G in fret one
2in D means u put ur fingers on D in 2nd fret
2 in A means u put ur fingers on A in 2nd fret

well thats seems eay enough


sth else in chords when u c the sign X on a string it means u don't
have to play that string

hmmmmmmmmmm seems easy enough

to begin try with chords like C A E Am G they r relatively easier ones

chord C
E---------0--------------------
B---------1--------------------
G---------0------------------
D---------2-----------------
A---------3------------------
E---------X-----------

chord A

E---------0----------------------------------
B---------2-----------------------
G---------2-----------------------------
D---------2---------------------------
A---------0-----------------------
E---------X-------------

posted a really nice n educative thread
