Guitar Lesson Number 1

It's about time i have this free online guitar lesson like every Guitar blog should have.
I wanted to do this ever since geocities started to host free website for noobies like myself.LOL
So for you all that wanna take the next step after Air Guitaring, Get a guitar and start Real Guitaring with Music Star Academy's Free Online Lessons!!!!!

Step 1) Get A Guitar - Doesn't matter what type, acoustic? classical? electric? just get one. But don't get a toy guitar or something that looks like a guitar but not playable. Go to a guitar store and get an entry level or Beginner's guitar. It wont cost you much. When you get it, make sure you can have it in standard tuning. If you have a friend to tune ,good. If not get a tuner and ask the store guy to teach you.With the power of Youtube, find a guitar tuning video. Not that hard with a tuner.
Getting your guitar in tune is the first most important thing to do.

Step 2) Guitar Anatomy - Learn it, know what is what. Headstock, tuning peg , bridge , soundhole, bla bla bla. If it's on your guitar, get to know what it is called and what does it do. You're a guitarist , when someone ask you what does the black thing on the end of your guitar do? you answered " Huh? i also don't know" , what a shame. ROTFLOL

Step 3) Holding the guitar - Learn the position of holding the guitar, the important thing here is comfortability. Make sure you're comfortable, if it's not. You're probably holding it the wrong way. Then , Learn what your right hand and left hand do. Right hand for strumming/holding a pick. Left hand holds the chord on the fretboard. Leftys vice versa.



Step 4) Learn Them Chords - This step, you will need to spend some time doing them. A chart is provided here, learn to hold all of them/ memorize them. then try changing them, from one to another as much as you can. Know them by name. This is where separate the ones that have passion in learning the guitar or the ones that have none. It's not easy but hardwork and passion will get you through. The more the better for now. Print it out. Practice whenever you can.
numbers on the black dots indicate your right hand fingers exclude the thumb. The line on the left = to the 6th string on the guitar/thickest string.
