Can Anyone Who "mastered" the Guitar Give Me Tips?
hey for anybody out there thats "mastered" the guitar, can you give me some tips on the guitar?
ok so i’ve started to learn the guitar by myself near the end of summer and i’ve gotten pretty good. i started out with playing guitar tabs but that didn’t work. then i just started doodling with the guitar and i pretty much found a gillion different chords. I also found out how to do a one octave scale and arpeggio. I learned some scales used in guitar solos i forgot what they’re called but i think i forgot them. so basically guitars a lot easier but im still not that good at it. I want to be able to doodle and make up songs on the guitar like i can on the violin and easily play to songs.
So any tips please? I’m going to focus on actually remembering what kind of chords they are though. that’ll probably help. but other than that what else should i focus on learning or memorizing? thanks a lot.
ok for some of you thats why i said "master" in quotes because i know theres no way you can actually master an instrument.
and also i do know how to read music and music theory, i said i play the violin and i used to play the piano. unless you’re talking about theory solely for the guitar? i dont think there is?
i used to be able to play some songs by heart. i quit doing tabs because a lot of them didn’t seem right because the chords were to simple the same chords repeated so i wasn’t learning anything.
and don’t tell me to get a teacher. im not getting a teacher not with my schedule. i dont want to feel like boasting either but i got this far by myself im pretty sure i can go all the way.
so what im asking is are there any techniques or certain things i should learn so i can go crazy with teh guitar?
yeh, just learn chords and improvise from them. Speed comes from the right hand , not the left. Jimi Hendrix took 1 guitar lesson
Do you know any songs, or just scales//chords?
Can you read music (outside of tabs)?
You should edit that in, then I’ll give you some tips.
1st: nobody will ever truly master an instrument. You can get ridiculously good but never master it because there will always be more that can be done with it. Look at music history and how music for individual instruments has evolved over the years as creativity increases, technology etc…
2: learn to read real musical notation and learn the entire fretboard so that you can look at any fret and instantly know what note it is.
3: learn music theory and harmony so that you will truly understand what it going on in music. You’ll be surprised at how much is the same, harmonically speaking, among the different styles of music and how you can just change stuff.
4: do tons of ear training.
These things are your foundation and the rest is just practicing and learning to apply all this to a real life situation.
Get a teacher man. Learning songs by yourself is easy. Learning theory by yourself is very very hard.
