Hello fellow guitarists; I have been playing guitar since last 2 months; I can play following chords very well; C, F,G,E,D,A, Am, D7,Dm, Em; With help of these chords I play following songs; 1: Humko sirf tumse pyar hai 2: Papa kehte hai 3: Yeh shaam mastani 4: Yeh dosti 5: Baatein kuch ankahi se I also can play the tabs of following songs 1: Happy birthday 2: Jingle bell 3: Jiya dhadak dhadak jaye 4: tuje dekha to yeh jaana sanam 5: papa kehte hai 6: AAnewala pal. What I am trying to say is I have finished the phase of guitar in which I have started liking the guitar. Now I want to learn theory, I want to learn more chords. I have discovered interest in guitar. Now can anyone guide me through the theory lessons. What needs to be learnt. MY majo problem is picking up the rhythm. I am decent at changing chords. But i know only 2-3 rhythms. the one of papa kehte hai is the one which I just cant get rid of..lol ..I mean any song I TRY to play I invariably end up playing same rhythm. I need guidance... cheers, Jay
hey mate its good u have played my fav songs well about theory and practicing u have to sure on thing ur self that what u wanna learn .. a rythm guitarist of leading its two different way .. its take too much time to carry both i have submitted here on IGT two chord books advanced and common guitar chords https://indianguitartabs.com/showthread.php?t=30822 and i m attaching common guitar chords ------- for finger picking practice you should understand the fret board first .. NOTES ON FRET BOARD! whats the note definations C C# D D# E F F# G G # A A# B C C# D D#..... and so on look after B note its repeating C note then .. try to put notes ur self on fret board =1=2=3=4=5 E-F-F#-G-G#----------------------------- A-A#-B-C------------------------------ D-D#-E------------------------------- G--------------------------------- B--------------------------------- E--------------------------------- write it ure self and remember to what actually notes on fret
help well mate i always consider tabs as much easier than rhythm. i consider rhythm as the soul of the guitar. u said u know to play some few chords but i would really prefer some systematic approach. for this first master the 24 basic chords in open positions eg. A,Am,A#,A#m,B,Bm...... this will be ur 1st step. then u should learn the barre shapes as these are of great utility. while u note these things its extremely imp. to LEARN THE NOTE NAMES ON 5TH AND 6TH STRINGS. this is most imp. the note names on the other 4 strings can easily be found from these 2 by some formulas. and then comes the hard task of going deep into chord theory. u must know 7th, 9th, suspended, slash, add, dim,dom chords as well as inversions etc. also be extremely careful when learning chords that r style dependent like power chords which r meant only for electric guitars and not acoustic. since the above is very exhaustive i m going to recommend a purchase- 1.The essential guitar guide by Dale Churchett and if u wanna go much much deeper into music theory- 2.The modern method of guitar by William G.Leavitt thats it..........milesfastguy hopes for an answer.
