As A Child Learns How To Play Songs On Guitar

By Frank Morris


Guitar songs strike different chords for people when they hear the instrument playing. Some think of slow romantic ballads while others think of the classical feats of a Spanish Guitarist. If you are so interested in the instrument, then perhaps you will be keen on knowing how to play songs on guitar.

The easiest way to begin is with a guitar and someone who is very skilled at playing chords on the guitar like C, G and F. These three chords are suggested first because you can actually strum a tune if you know them. The other major chords to learn to play are D, E and A. All you need to begin is a few days of practice getting used to making the correct sounds as you learn to move your finger positions from each Major Chord to the next.

Many youth and young adults begin learning from a skilled friend who will mentor them along the way. A fortunate person will be able to pay for private or group guitar lessons. Most musicians believe lessons are needful for any artist to go to higher levels of development on their instrument. This means learning notes on your instrument and how they blend together to make other harmonies.

Find out where you can begin. If you are a child or a teenager, there are often opportunities to learn music in school. Learning rhythm is especially necessary for any instrument. Playing on clanging cymbals or sticks, both teach you how to keep rhythm. As an adult these concepts should now be familiar to you. Working in a group of students learning to play will require you to review and learn things like rhythm, notes and chords. You will do the same thing in private music lessons, but the pace of learning can depend more on you.

If you are anxious to give your skills on the guitar a try, then begin to learn the major chords suggested earlier. As you practice finger positions begin strumming and moving from each chord. Start humming along and match the sounds to Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. Do not be surprised if your fingers become sore as you press down strings to make the chord sound. Your finger tips will grow tough and the pain will become unnoticeable.

You guitar teacher will give you assignments to help improve your skill. Practice is the key to playing an instrument. Soon you will begin reading music and playing scales, chords and little songs. It is the way you learn so be patient and remember everything from your training.

It does not take long to learn how to play songs on guitar. Some learn faster than others depending on musical experience with reading notes and chords. However, many can play a few chords in a short time which leads to a few primary tunes. Soon you will begin to strum your day away!
