Basics Of How To Learn Guitar Chords

By Frank Morris


Before learning to play guitar songs that are playing on the radio, it is vital to learn guitar chords first. So many striking sounds can be played on a guitar when it is played properly. Instruction in the basics is necessary and a great way to reach a successful goal.

The five guitar chords that are the foundation of the all scales and music are C, A, G, E, and D chords. These five spell out caged, which is one of the easiest ways to remember the names of the chords. They are used to develop all the music that we hear today.

One of the first things people do when learning to play guitar chords is find an instructor or trainer. These people will be able to teach anyone to play quickly and accurately. They will know whether an acoustic or an electric guitar is a better fit for the student. There are differences in these two kinds of guitars that are important when making a decision.

One of the things people think about between acoustic and electric guitars is the strings. The strings on an acoustic are harder to press than on an electric because they are thicker. The electric guitar is not producing music with its body, the music is sent through the attached cord to the amplifier. The sound can be turned up or down. An acoustic produces the sound with the body and the thickness and pressure on the strings makes a big difference to how much sound comes through the sound hole.

Some people say that learning on an electric is easier because of this. For many people this proves to be true. Electric guitars do not require as much physical work, fingers do not need to stretch quite as hard or press down too much. However, learning on an electric might be a more expensive startup. They have components that are required to even be able to hear the music.

DVDs and videos are an excellent way to learn to play. Guitar manuals and instructions for new players are sold in the same places as the guitars. Sometimes, music instrument store employees are players themselves and can offer instruction.

Another thing to think about when deciding to learn guitar chords is finding and learning to read tablature. Memorizing where the fingers go on the guitars neck and being able to see it on the tab becomes second nature in a short time. It may take time, but with perseverance and positivity, beautiful music will be played.
