Learn To Play Guitar Songs By Following A Few Fast Suggestions

By Emma Madison


If you want to begin to play guitar songs, you will need to start off with a tuned guitar. If you don't, when you play your song, it won't sound like the song you thought your were trying to play. You will also need to become skilled at reading the guitar tabs for you to play guitar songs.

The trick is not stopping with the guitar tabs but also to train your ear to be able to listen to music and pick it up. This skill will make sure you learn to play guitar songs that you love. Even if you're only a beginner - that's alright, just start off where everyone does: simple songs. Begin with only 3-chord songs at first, and you'll learn as you keep practicing.

Whenever you are trying to listen to a song, make sure you are getting a feel for the timing and rhythm of when the chords are played, and when the strings are being picked. When you simply make time to listen for a while, then you should follow the song as it's played by reading the appropriate tabs. Repeat this practice on a song you want to learn, keep track of timing and rhythm.

Once you are done with the steps of listening numerous times, then reading along with the guitar tabs, then it's time to pick up your instrument. When the song is playing, simply strum along. Don't play so loud you don't hear the song - you are trying to copy what you hear.

If you feel comfortable with the timing of the piece and how to strum it, then you should turn off the music and try to play it. If you need a reminder, you should listen again to the song and try again. Keep repeating the process, one song at a time. Master the music, before you move onto some other piece. Keep practicing until you can begin to sing the lyrics as well.

A great strategy to learn to play is to use a video camera when you're playing. After you play, you need to watch the video. The point is to catch your errors and correct your errors with the proper techniques.

When you seriously want to learn to play guitar songs, you need passion. You will need to grow in patience as you keep at it. It is OK to make plenty of mistakes along the way - this is usual. However, if you find that you are repeatedly making the same errors, it may be time for a break. Don't allow frustration to grow in you, just put down the guitar for a while and pick it up when you feel relaxed and motivated.
