Where to start?

As it states I'm pretty new to guitar and I have no idea where to start. I dont want to have to get an instructor as my only vehicle is my work truck at the moment and instructors csn be expensive. I hear people often say youtube but they never tell me anything specific and I feel like simply looking up "how to play guitar" is a fools errand. I've experimented a little bit with yousician but can anybody speak from experience on if its actually a viable way to learn? Really lost here and could use some help, I'd love to be able to just casually play simple rythyms and riffs just to goof off Tenacious D style

Any advice?

Been playing for 5 years. Never took lessons but learned some songs and theory. I know a few scales and how chords are built on them and how I can improvise within that scale and I've developed some feel. But I don't know the notes I'm playing really, besides from the obvious open chords in the beginning. Solo is fairly improvised. I don't have a method for learning really, I feel like I have the potential to get a lot better if I trained right. Just want some advice! submitted by /u/Samissomtimes [link] [comments]

What should I learn first if I wish to make music?

Ive had my guitar for about 2 years now but I only ever pick it up every now and then. Recently however i’ve found myself with a lot of free time and one of my dreams/goals has always been making a song or learning how to make music. I just wanted to know everyone’s opinion on what to learn first if I’m trying to make a song?

Hoe to genuinely learn guitar?

I’ve been at it for about a year and a half and I’ve made no progress in about 6-8 months.

I want to genuinely learn how to play guitar and make music with it. The way I’ve been doing it is just learning songs with tabs but idk if that’s the best way. Can someone give me the step by step things to learn for guitar. Also how long should I practice a day? At the beginning I would do like 4-5 hours a day and that’s when I made the most progress but after awhile I hit a Plato and only play abt 30-60 mins a day now and sometimes only like 2-3 times a week. I need help to get better I love music and guitar so much and I want to be able to play and make music.

Edit: sorry for typo in title idk how to remove it lol

How do I use m7b5 in chord progressions? Any examples outside of jazz?

Like the title says, I’m wondering how to use this chord when writing progressions. Or better yet how to use this chord at all, how would I solo over it or use its notes for melody.

I’ve learned my diatonic chord scales and never see this chord used. The only time I use this is when I play a minor 2-5-1, but apart from that I have no clue what to do with this. I find a full diminished chord to be more useful for creating tension and jumping around the fretboard but can’t help feeling like I’m missing something in my learnings.

Any examples in music outside jazz? I know there is God Only Knows by The Beach Boys but I’m wondering if any other rock or pop artists use this. Any great guitarists that favor this chord? Any modes to bring this chord to life?

I didn't understand how hammer on and pull off can help me to reduce the noise

I watched this video from Bernth, and as I understood from the video, he says that I shouldn't only use palm muting, but also add hammer-on and pull-off training to reduce the noise, but I didn't understand how hammer-on and pull-off are going to help me to mute the strings.

This is the video and the correct timing is 2:56 https://youtu.be/Jn2sPQ2KxGE?t=176

should i buy a used squier strat for $60?

I was checking it out in the shop and basically i would need to raise the pickups, and the guy told me the saddles were little difficult to adjust. Background info- I’m in my 2nd year of playing. I only have an Ibanez Gsa 60 and yamaha acoustic. Should I go buy it tomorrow?

Pick getting stuck on the upstroke?

Been playing for about year now, mostly metal and pretty much only doing downstrokes. Ive been trying to learn alternate picking lately but my pick always gets stuck on the upstroke, not stuck but its not gliding through like my downstrokes. Ive tried changing angles but still struggling, not sure what im doing wrong. Any ideas?

Palm muting guide

Hello, was wondering if anyone had a guide for palm muting, especially in guitar tabs where you play muted notes alongside regular notes - how do you even play those at the same time?

Thank You :)

Is it better to learn acoustic before electric guitar?

I like rock music and want to learn the electric guitar, I found a teacher offline recently and he said he would be teaching me acoustic techniques first because it would be "useful", I looked around on his social media and it seems like his work and music taste is focused on acoustic guitars. Are his words biased? Should I continue learning with him and learn the acoustic ways first? I am worried because we do not vibe well anyways.

How to switch fretting strings quickly?

I haven’t been playing long. When practicing, I find myself always very slow to switch chords. The main culprits is usually when I have to change my wrist position (E.g. switching from c major to g major and reverse) and switching strings with one or more fingers at once (E.g. fretting on D to fretting g with any finger). The problem persists usually still persists even if I know the next chord off by heart.

Another problem: I want to play classical guitar/ finger style mainly. I have a lot of problems when holding a barre/ half barre with my forefinger but my other 3 fingers have to move a lot.

I understand some of these are probably just “practice more” but I’m curious to know if there are exercises that can help.

Any help would be very appreciated!

how do i improve right hand accuracy?

so I've been playing some classical music, and I find I'm struggling to be accurate with my right hand alot of the time, to the point where I look at my right hand more than my left hand, which causes my left hand to suffer instead.

since my left hand is moving around more i figured that I should be paying more attention to my left hand, but I'm not sure if I'm thinking about it correctly.

right now, the only exercise i have for improving my right hand is to just close my eyes and pluck the string I'm thinking about. i use my i m a fingers on the G B e strings and my thumb on the E A D strings. i think my accuracy mostly suffers with my thumb, where I might accidentally pluck A instead of D, or vice versa

Next steps

I’ve been playing guitar for about 10 years or so. At the moment I rely almost independently on my ear and basic memorisation of the minor pentatonic scale, major and minor scales to improv.

Im not exactly sure the next steps for my progress but I listen to prog metal and I want to be able to more expressively solo. I think that has something to do with more theory and playing lead with scales from the chords vs the key of the whole song ( easier to just shred the minor pent of the key of the whole song )

Any help?
