Guitar Points

Author: John Hughes


You can spend money on a private instructor and countless hours
practicing, but if you are not doing the right things it will
take years to accomplish what some players seem to master
overnight. The reason for this is not because they have more
talent, but either someone revealed to them or they took it upon
themselves to master the acoustic guitar using a similar, if not
same approach as outlined in this free online acoustic guitar
lesson. The two methods you are about to read will
dramatically increase your knowledge of the acoustic guitar.
This free online acoustic guitar lesson aims to unloc
k the secrets of the guitar so you will be able to quickly
and effortless learn new things.

The first point in today's free online acoustic guitar
lesson is to learn the names of all the notes on the guitar.
Many players can tell the names of the open strings and probably
up the neck on each string up to about the fifth or seventh
fret, but how many can instantly name off all the notes in the
higher registrars of the guitar neck. Unless you're one of the
few who can I suggest you first get a diagram of the fret board
that lists each note and study it intently. Second, sit down
with your guitar without the diagram and name off as many of the
notes as you can while you play them. This is the most important
point of this free online acoustic guitar lesson because
it lays the foundation for the next step.

After you have a good working knowledge of the notes on the
fret-board you will find that it is much easier to find new
chords and scales. To illustrate this point play some of your
favorite scales and chords. Now, using the knowledge acquired in
this free online acoustic guitar lesson try to find the
same chords and scales in different positions on the fret-board.
Being able to quickly and easily learn and identify chord shapes
and scale positions will increase your ability to find new and
innovative ways to play the guitar.

You now have the secrets to improving your guitar playing ten
fold. Do not delay. Find a diagram of the fret-board at your
local music store or onlin
e that shows the names of all the notes. Drill them into
your brain then practice your scales and chords. Move them
around to different positions and explore the neck. All to often
guitar instructors and beginning players fail to utilize the
methods I have shown in this free online acoustic guitar
lesson. Don't pass up this opportunity to truly excel as a
guitar player.
