Choosing Your Acoustic Guitar

July 3rd, 2010

Before you even start playing, you have to pick out your acoustic guitar. This is a subject of some debate among guitar experts. Should you buy a beginner guitar, or should you go all out and get something more expensive? Many people believe that beginner guitars are the way to go. That way, if you don’t like playing, you haven’t wasted too much money. Other people believe that you shouldn’t confine yourself to cheap acoustic guitars. If you have the money, you should buy a really good ax. That way, it will be a joy to play. The better it sounds, the more you’re going to want to play it!

In my opinion, the best approach is a compromise. Whether you are getting acoustic electric guitars, nylon string classical guitars, or some other kind, it shouldn’t be the bottom-of-the-line. Get something that is decent, but not overly expensive. You can usually find acoustic guitars on sale for less than 200 dollars. Take someone who is experienced along to help you pick it out. Choosing the right guitar, after all, is crucial.

The Ups and Downs of Learning Guitar

June 7th, 2010

For the most part, learning to play guitar is thrilling and fun. However, every guitarist can have the so-called ups and downs in their learning and play. Sometimes your play may be totally breathtaking and you feel up, while other times you can make tons of mistakes and feel down. In this article, we will explain the reason to these “downs” and give advice on how to avoid them.

There are three major ingredients for a perfect play: motivation, patience, and mood. So, if you find yourself in the “down” state, try to adjust these three.

1. Motivation: The main point is to have a strong motivation. Remember why we decided to learn to play guitar. Do you have a favorite song that you want to master? Do you want to impress your friends or family? Do you want to play in a band? Try to remember your motivation. You can even write it down on a sheet of paper, or find an image that would symbolize your ultimate goal, and hang it on the wall in front of you.

2. Perseverance and patience: Many guitarists want to accomplish everything at once, but it does not work this way. You need to stock up with patience and persevere.

3. Mood: If you sat down to play the guitar with a bad mood; it will not work too well, so do your best to improve your mood.

If you have good motivation, a lot of patience, and play in a good mood, you will have all that is needed to succeed and reach another “up” period. The “up” is when you play much better than before. It is when you play some melody the way that only professionals could distinguish your play from that of the original performer.

What else can be done to lift your spirits? Read biographies of the great guitarists and listen to beautiful guitar music. Another good way is “comparison” – try to remember how you were before, and you’ll see that you have achieved tremendous results. You can become much better than now if you keep being positive, stay motivated, and persevere.

Finally, remember to practice each day in order to master guitar. It often happens that a guitarist loses their mood and concentration, such as after a vacation or the holidays. This can lead to making a lot of mistakes, losing the speed of play, and losing plasticity in the fingers. If you abandon your guitar for a couple of weeks, you may soon see the above “symptoms”. The best remedy is daily practice. Playing the guitar every day can boost your progress by 50% compared to playing it 3 times a week.

You don’t have to play for hours. It’s enough to have 30 minutes of daily practice. You can allocate more time on the weekends. The main thing is to take a new step every day, even if it will only be 5 new chords. If you miss a day, try to recover the next day. Also, avoid bad mood. Try to improve your mood first, and only then take your guitar.

Guitar Strings

February 5th, 2010

When I finally found the perfect set of acoustic guitar strings, I was absolutely overjoyed. They were made by a local manufacturer who hand wound them. Hand wound guitar strings are a little bit expensive, but if you find really good ones they are more than worth it. Unfortunately, he doesn’t make the strings anymore, but fortunately I stockpiled enough for several years to come. I practice using Martin strings still, but I have my special strings waiting in a case for shows. By saving them and using them sparingly, I should be able to make them last for as long as I \need them. By that point, maybe I will have bought a better guitar.

Choosing Guitar Straps

October 1st, 2009

There are some guitar players that will play their instrument very low. This means that they stand when they play, and the instrument is slung lower than you see with most other players. This is often due to the fact that they have very long arms, or this is the way that they learned. Most learn in a particular position, and that is what they stick with for the most part. If someone you know plays like that, you are going to have to be sure the guitar straps that you buy are long enough to be useful. Most straps for guitars and basses are adjustable, but some are shorter than others.

What To Look For When Buying Vintage Guitars

July 21st, 2009

If you are a beginning guitar player, you may start out with a new and rather inexpensive model of guitar. That is how most start because they don’t have a lot of money, and they know there is a chance they won’t take the hobby too far. If they were to spend a lot on the guitar, they would be out all of that money. They may be able to resell, but they won’t get what they paid in many cases. However, those that have been playing for years and love it will be more willing to lay down some money to get what they want. Most will have a yen for vintage guitars at one point or another, but they do have to know what to look for in one.

Learning Guitar for the Beginner

July 12th, 2009

An article for learning guitar

Once you have your scales down and and pretty good fluid action with your hand positions and picking, it’s time to learn your chords. This is the base upon which most rock and jazz music is built; the chords that you play define the tone of the song, and how you’ll relate to the other musicians around you. Mastering these chords is the last step of learning guitar for the beginner.

Learning Guitar Chords

July 4th, 2009

Some believe that if children learn to play a musical instrument, they are going to do better in school, especially in math. Because so many struggle with math, many schools fight to keep their music programs alive. You may be offered the traditional instruments like saxophone, clarinet, or trumpet in school, but some think that playing the electric guitar is more along the lines of what they would like to do. This can be a fun instrument, but you will never be very good at it until you learn the major guitar chords as a starting point.
