Learning Acoustic Guitar

So you’re interested in learning acoustic guitar. Well luckily it’s a lot easier than you might think. Ever looked at pages of sheet music and felt your eyes glazing over at the thought of having to learn it. Well luckily you don’t have to. 

There are literally thousands of people out there jamming away who can’t, and probably never will learn to read sheet music. Why? Because they don’t need to, and that’s all thanks to something we call the CAGED system.

When learning acoustic guitar we have the five basic open chord shapes C A G E and D get them nailed and then using a “capo” you can transpose them up and down the keyboard and make up all the other chords – simples!!!

If you just get those five basic chords nailed you will be able to play an amazing number of songs and impress all your friends. It’s then just a matter of building on that base with some of the slightly more advance stuff.

Now I don’t want to get complicated (and learning acoustic guitar really need not be complicated), but we have major and minor chords don’t worry about this right now, but just remember that the major chords sound “happy while the minor ones sound “sad”.

To improve you’re obviously going to have to put some practice in. It’s is how you spend your practice time that is going to determine how quickly you make progress.

One of the fastest ways is to play along with lots of videos (especially those with split screen recordings where you can see both hands at the same time). There are some really great courses online today and if you want to learn to play acoustic guitar quickly and easily I’d highly recommend you use one.

Another great help is to become part an online forum where you can get your questions answered. Some of the better online courses also have excellent forums with professional guitarists to answer your questions along with others members who are doing the same course which can be a really great help. So don’t be shy to ask for advice should you need it.

Remember to take it slow at first. If you’re really serious about learning acoustic guitar then mastering the basics will stand you in good stead. Most newbie’s trying to learn guitar tend to play far too fast. Slow it down to begin with, try half the speed and go for accuracy until it begins to become automatic.

You’ll also find that over time your fingers will become stronger making playing the chords cleanly easier for you. You may also want to look at practicing some of the finger strength building exercises. Just a few minutes a day can really help your progress.

So grab your guitar and make a start today, learning acoustic guitar is one of life’s real joys and such a satisfying endevour so have fun with it.

I hope this has helped and good luck on your journey.
