-
Get into the habit of devoting 10-30 mins every day to guitar practice
-
Organise your practice into sections, for example rhythm strumming, chord
changing, new songs, music reading, scales and improvisation.
-
Spend time tuning your guitar before playing it. Gently stretch the
strings in, especially new ones.
-
When learning anything new, play it very slowly making sure that each note
has the best tone that you can give it and every chord is clear.
-
Push yourself with new challenges.
-
Learn to listen to all the instruments playing in a piece of music, not
just the guitar. Try and get an appreciation of how the musicians
are working together.
-
Find another guitarist at a similar stage of ability as yourself or, better
still, a little more advanced. You will learn much more if you can
get together regularly with another guitarist.
-
Expand your experience by going to concerts and gigs to watch professional
guitarists.
-
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Musicians are usually happy to
pass on their knowledge and experience.
-
Make playing the guitar a part of your life and never ever give up.

professionally fitted and tuned, will breath new life into any guitar giving
it a much brighter and pleasant sound. Call me on 07850 100091 or

| Page 1, rule 1, get your guitar in tune. Buy yourself
an electronic tuner - they are cheap and accurate. If a string is
flat (producing a note lower than required) use the machine heads
/ tuning keys to raise the note. If you overshoot a bit, pull
the string down. Carefully stretch the tension out of the string
by pulling it away from the guitar. Re-check with the tuner.
If you have overshot, tune it up a bit with the tuning key again. Remember,
tune
up, stretch down. |
