Hi all musicians...i really want to learn to play guitar. can u give some suggestion or opinion for beginner like me. FYI, i am zero knowledge about basic guitar. Simply said i am a newbies.hahaha..

Buy book and learn. Go straight for book with simple song and chord diagram. Practice far away for anyone unless you want to get stoned.

haha..thanks bro. i will try that. If i play in front of u, do u want to stoned me?haha..

Post here and get stoned. Welcome brah

Take a look at least to know what is a guitar and its parts.

First to learn of course how to hold a guitar in a correct way. I would suggest to find a mentor to teach. Do all these right before you proceed. The correct fingering will lead u to achieve much further.. unless you just 2ant to learn a song or 2 to impress girl. Then youtube will be good.

that would help me bro..thanks a lot..

I'm interested to buy Corth Earth 70E..
Anyone know where I can get it cheaper than retail price?

This. Must chords for beginner level.

subscribe this channel if you want. The lessons they have more than to impress girls

If you self-learn, do pay attention to thumb position. especially when your first time to hold "Bm" chord.

And do return to ask. A lot of us are ready to help.

Go for simple chord, like Avril Lavigne - Happy Ending (repetitive chord) or Eagle - Hotel California.

btw, it would be great if you have buddies to teach you in early stage. Good luck!

i would recommend you to start on GnR - welcome to the jungle

if im not mistaken hotel has barre chords,

noob might break his spirit with such chords

if you want simple knocking on heavens door, if u uber noob then stand by me (the ben e king one)

Go read up on musical theory as well and how to read taugeh. I am relearning guitar through the correct way and knowing the piano key structure and how to read notes does help a lot.

Guitar and piano is more alike than u think

the hardest part for beginner guitarist are to form the chords. Most basic chords are C Am F G Dm for old & modern songs. google simple songs with chords. practise to sing the song while playing so u wont get bored. keep practicing to change chord accordingly to songs.

if u practice everyday, after few weeks u can change chords easier.

after few days, the strings will hurt ur finger like hell. dont give up. after a week or so, ur finger tips skin will peel off for a new layer underneath. this process will repeat until few times. later on ur finger tip will be hardened. malay say got kematu.

as for me, i cant really sing. suara tak sampai. so i learn towards fingerstyle. as some suggested, youtube channel LickNRiff provide really interactive lessons for fingerstylist.

so good luck.

why not learn from the youtube videos.. there alots of beginner lesson there... I am not so lucky .. have to learn from the book and friends, those days b4 google and utube times.. u r so lucky...

Horatio is right.
Hes always right.

I'll teach you

Go go justin guitar!

lel. shorter it is the better. learn to use a pick.

of coz the theory is the same. it how the instruments implemented it quite different.

piano is 'visually' more easier for beginner. u can see the octaves clearly along the keys.

Usually guitarists keep the fingernails of their left hand short. This is to ensure better playability and to prevent the fingerboard from getting scratched. You can use fingerpicks if you find that fingernails are annoying.
Just my 5 sen here... xD

Of course you need short nails. You press the strings with your finger tips .... not nails
