The Basics of Playing Guitar:
Tune the Guitar
Learn to tune the guitar or invest in a tuner to ensure that you achieve the best sound.
Read Music in Standard Notation and Tablature
Learning the basics of rhythmic notation (values, bars, measures, dividing beats) will go a long way to advancing your musical development.
Learn Notes Before you Learn Chords
Familiarize yourself with the notes on a fretboard to make scales, patterns, and chords much easier to master.
Find the Right Pressure
Reduce buzzing or muffled strings by applying proper pressure, which will allow you to produce clean, full sound every time you hit a string.
Get Comfortable
Practice good posture when playing not only to be comfortable, but also to bring out better sound.
Learn to Strum
As a beginner, strumming a steady rhythm while fretting chords is difficult, so practice strumming a simple up-down pattern and switching between chords every four counts.
Perfect the Barre Chord
Practicing with your index finger rolled on its side and slightly curved will make you a barring expert in no time.
Go Slow
Take your time if you are having trouble and isolate individual problems.
Listen to Other Guitarists
Listen to a wide variety of music to inspire you to come up with new ideas for your own playing style.
