Guitar tips?

[4Everbee 1,365]

Hey hey hey.

I been trying to learn guitar for a while now. But eh I'm failing. I been trying to learn it on my own but it isn't working so well.

So does anybody have any tips on how to play? Like witch cord is witch and stuff.

I'm a noob sorry.

I named my guitar Doctor BTW. Yes , I know. I'm sooooo cool.

if your trying to learn how to play other peoples music learn how to read tabs

Practice a lot of chords (you can find them on the internet pretty easily) and maybe once you get the hang of those, try playing some beatles songs. They are really simple and fun to play.

 

and then you shall be shredding like this

I do agree that chords and what not are important to learn but the best thing you can do is play

 

It does not matter if you know what chord is what. If you dont play the guitar you will never get good at it

 

So in the end just practice. It does not matter if you make noise (like me) or make soft ballads (then fall asleep shortly after) or rip out some insane sweeps as long as you are playing in a way you are learning something, ^^ You may not notice it but your mind does.

Some guitar videos that you can study. 

 

Final Fantasy stuff

Some Metal Stuff

more acoustic stuff. 

 

Pretty much how i picked up chords (or some of them. Most if not all the chords i play i dont know the names of it) is through trying to play guitar tabs and what not. Best thing i can say is dont start at the top . work your way from the bottom up

 

And if guitar playing is not your thing you can always go to clapping

Well it takes a lot of practice, time, effort and such. I do suggest reading Guitar Tabs though as they're the easiest to read
