I believe the most important things about playing guitar are to have fun, bonding with friends and families, and to grow as a musician. When you can do these things, I believe you also grow as a person, no matter what style of music you want to play in the future. Guitar can be a challenging instrument but keep a positive attitude, and practice the right things, then you will succeed. The guitar will be something that will bring you joy for the rest of your life.
The Proper Way of Holding a Guitar
Choose a chair or seat with the right height. Put the guitar on your right knee. Keep the guitar straight. The neck of the guitar should be angled slightly upward as it extends away from your body.
Points to Remember:
1. Patience – It takes time to get your fingers, tendons, and muscles used to bending in the ways necessary to play guitar. Take your time, be patient and it will come.
2. Slow down - Playing slow and in time is ALWAYS better than playing fast and sloppy. Always master a concept at slow speeds before trying to play it faster. Speed comes with time.
3. Attitude – Stay positive and remember that your guitar playing is an evolution.
4. Develop your ear – Developing your ear is one of the most important things you can do as a guitarist or musician.
5. Fun – Give yourself plenty of “fun time” on the guitar doing what you love to do best – learn a song, write a new tune, do fun stuff.
