How Should I get Started Playing Guitar

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

That is a good and timeless question. I have some suggestions:

  1. Have a friend that plays guitar show you a few chords and some songs to go along with them.
  2. Go online and search for the song lyrics,chords and guitar tab to your favorite songs. Because you are already familiar with the songs you can work out how to play them rather quickly!

These are both good solid workable ways to get started. By doing this you will build up familiarity with the guitar. You’ll get used to holding and strumming, you’ll start to see some patterns in the way certain chords are grouped together and you will start to feel comfortable with your guitar.
