30,000 Foot Overview of Guitar7:13
This lesson will give you a great overview understanding of how to approach learning the guitar. Just like viewing the map of a city will give you your "bearings" for understanding where you are and where other places are, this 30,000 foot overview will give a view of how we will be approaching the guitar. We can sum EVERYthing that we will be learning on the guitar to:
Picking/Strumming Hand
Fretting Hand
Music Theory or Understanding The Mechanics of Music
There are MANY myths that keep people from learning the guitar BECAUSE they actually believe these myths. Don't do it! It will keep you from excelling.
To be proficient at the guitar, you need knowledge (resources) and practice. Ignore everything else and focus on these two things! You will see great success on the instrument!
Take your time and ENJOY THE RIDE!!!

trimmed.
2. Play right behind the fret (this is for leverage). Remember the see-saw example.
3. Play with ALL your fingers (each finger plays a specific fret)
4. It is best to leave some space between the palm of you hand and the guitar neck,
This will give you much needed leverage to play on your fingertips. Sometimes
dropping the shoulder can be helpful as well.
