Ten importance points to remember when playing guitar
Patience: Learning an instrument requires patience. Many of the techniques take time to master. Even fingering chords can be quite challenging. This is normal so do not get discouraged. Take your time, be patient and it will come.
Attitude: A positive attitude goes a long way. You can do this, so try and stay positive and remember that your guitar playing is an evolution.
Prosper technique: Utilizing the proper techniques and learning the proper fundamentals is essential for beginner guitar. Any bad habits that you start off with will be very hard to untangle later as well as they will impede your progress down the road. So, first learn the rules, then go ahead and break them.
Fingernail length: Keep the fingernails on your fret hand short. If your nails are long they will interfere with fretting of notes on the fingerboard.
Cleanliness: Wash and thoroughly dry your hands before picking up the guitar. It will oil residues and dirt off the fingerboard and your hands will be clean and not slide around on the neck.
On Discomfort: Fingertip soreness and wrist discomfort is normal for the beginning guitarist. As you play more your fingertip calluses will build up stronger and the discomfort will get less and less. But if you feel major pain in the wrist or arm – STOP.
Slow down: Playing slow and in time is always better than playing fast and sloppy. Always master a concept at slow speeds before trying to play it faster.
Notes on the neck: Not at first but eventually you want to try to memorize the notes on the neck and the notes that make up a given chord or a scale. You just don’t want to solely rely on just fingerings or shapes.
Develop your ear: I say these words often, I feel developing your ear is one of the most important things you can do as a guitarist or musician.
Music theory: Lastly, a little theory is a good thing. Not in the beginning but eventually putting time into learning some music theory has great value. It will move your playing forward faster and allow you to communicate the language of music to other musicians.
SO, MY PEOPLE HAVE FUN AND STAY POSITIVE
