Thanks to the video game industry, some people think that playing the guitar is no more difficult than pressing buttons on a Guitar Hero controller. But 5 buttons are nothing compared to the unthinkable 150-note combinations you can play on the 24-fret electric guitar. If it doesn’t affect your desire to become a local rock star (or world famous, depending on how ambitious you are), we can start our first lesson. The bad news is that we will not refund your funds if you decide to stop practicing. The good news is that the lesson is free and introductory. And… what compelling reasons do you have for fleeing like a rat from a sinking ship? It is an impressive guitar world – world, where Tom Morello uses a screwdriver instead of a mediator and the Who destroy their instruments overflowing with emotions.
Not having the desire to demolish is your thing? It’s okay: neither I nor your tutor will encourage you to saw your instrument. Do you have allergies to both screwdrivers and mediators? Play with your fingers then! Referring to the Dismemberment Plan, “It’s a life of possibilities.” When it comes to guitar, you can insert “endless” if you want.
where to go
A man becomes a musician after buying the first tom-tom, dulcimer, or whatever instrument is in stock at the nearest supermarket. Although, no: supermarkets will not do at all. You’d better buy a guitar at the music store and buckwheat at the supermarket.
electric vs acoustic
What you will see after entering the music store is a bearded headbanger whose fingers move so fast that no radar could track his turn. These same headbangers will help you choose your instrument, that’s their mission on Earth. They’ll tell you that the electric guitar is powerful enough to drown out the hum of an airplane engine, but when it’s unplugged it’s barely audible. So you should also buy a combo amp, and you really do, don’t think you’re being ripped off.
The acoustic guitar costs a little less and is perfect for playing Bob Dylan’s songs, but if Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath posters serve as wallpaper in your room, go electric.
Success Guarantee
Practice is what makes one come true. Make sure you play guitar every day – and don’t tell me you don’t have much time to work out – if you hadn’t, you wouldn’t start. It’s in your best interest, seriously. Even if you play half an hour once a day, it’s better than playing 5 hours straight once a week. You will spend much of this time adjusting, and isn’t it better to move on?
“Now I’m ready to start”
Well, you bought a guitar and promised you wouldn’t give up for the next 50 years. Whats Next? How to deal with your instrument as soon as possible?
Tabs are here to help. If you don’t have a musical education, it’s not a problem: you don’t have to spend your best years learning to read sheet music; this is the case when you can leave for tomorrow what you can do today. Musical notation was Greek for Paco de Luca until he was 44 years old, and he is a virtuoso guitarist!
Many free tab stops are available on Google. Once you’re sure a band has a guitarist in its lineup, just type “Some Band Tabs” in there. The only thing, make sure you’re not looking for “Foxy Lady” by Hendrix or the first thought that comes to mind when you see a guitar will be “Wow, this is unplayable.”
However, what are you waiting for? Not everything is possible immediately, but in perspective it is. Learn to play the guitar and show us a thing or two, young Padawan!
