Guitar Tutorial
(Week 14)
Hi guys, Raynard here! In this post, I am going to fulfill our admirer request about giving a guitar tutorial. HERE YOU GO!!
Parts of a Guitar:
As you can see, a guitar is a combination of seven parts. The most important part of it is the neck, as you will put your fingers on various parts of the guitar to make different notes.
How to hold your guitar properly:
There are two types of guitar in the marker. They are guitars for right-handed and left-handed. How to differentiate the two? It is easy.
Follow these instructions:
1. Place the body of the guitar on your right thigh.
2. The headstock of the guitar should be pointing to your left.
3. Take a look at the string nearest to your face, it should be the thickest string.
4. If the placing of the headstock and string is right, it means your guitar is right-handed guitar. if is is not, it means it is a left-handed guitar.
Closer look at the neck:
I believe you have noticed the metal pieces on the neck of guitar. I am also sure that you have also asked what is the use of it. To make things simple, you only need to know the space divided by metal piece is called "fret". For instance, the space between the neck and first metal piece is called first "fret".
Playing basic chords:
It is time to get your hands dirty!!
The following are three major chords:
G major chord
C major chord
D major chord
1 represents your index finger, 2 your middle finger, and 3 your ring finger!
Have you familiarized yourself with the chords? If not, take some more time to learn it again. If you think you are familiar with the chords, now you can play a simple song such as Leaving on a Jet Plane,
performed by John Denver.
This will conclude this tutorial. Hope this will help with your basic. Remember practice makes perfect!!
