Beginning Guitar.?!
Question: Beginning Guitar!.!?
Well lately i have had a strange urge to teach myself how to play the guitar!. I have no idea why, but i think its a great instrument and stuff so i really wanna learn!. I already know how to play in a way because i play the violin and viola and so string instruments have almost the same techniques!. And i have been watching tutorials on how to play on YouTube!. First of all, i need a guitar, does anyone know where i can get one cheap and good quality!? And secondly, if i play a stringed instrument, do you think it will be easier for me to to grasp the guitar playing techniques!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
Go to guitar center!. That's one place you'll find quality brands!. Now, in terms of being "cheap" i dont know what your budget is!. XD
Playing the viola or violin may give you experience, a guitar fretboard is much wider but it also may be easier because there are actual frets and you don't have to put little stickers on the instrument (which im sure you did when you started violin!.)
In my opinion, before you start learning anything just mess around on the guitar for a few weeks til you get very VERY comfortable with it!. I've watched a few teenagers who might think they know what they're doing, but they look so tense and it effects their playing greatly!.
Once you get comfortable with the guitar, decide whether or not you want to
A!. Learn to read music and finger pluck (more classical music)
B!. Play blues-y , jazz stuff learning to alternate pick
C!. Play Metal (my expertise) and read tabs!.
Just remember if you can read music you'll have a great advantage in the long run, but if you're looking to just do this for fun just go for it and jump straight into the game!. Unfortunately I cant read music for guitar only for the trumpet!.
Hope this helps!. Feel free to email me!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

yes, because you can already read music (The Beatles did not!)
The best place I have found is on a college campus FOR SALE bulletin board at the end of a semester!. Pay as much as you can afford!. The cheaper the guitar the harder they are to play!. $350 will bring an excellent one!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
