Learning how to play guitar well is not easy. There are so many
methods and so many conflicting opinions, it makes it difficult
to know what to do. But the simple fact is, if you want to be
the best you can, as soon as you can, then all you need to do is
- copy what the pro's do... Master the Basics! Mastering the
basics means being able to play in all keys. Being able to
transpose any song to any other key - on the spot preferably.
Did you know that 95% of guitarists DON'T master the basics. Oh
yes, they mean to get around to it, but they hardly ever do. Why
is that? Well, it's because they think it's boring, complicated
and too much hard work. And most of all - no fun! And mostly
they were right. Well, it needn't be that way. Mastering the
basics can be a lot of fun if you go about it in a methodical
set-by-step way. What does mastering the basics entail? There
are 6 basic steps you need to follow: 1. Learn the names of all
notes on all strings, one string at a time. 2. Learn how to
construct a C Major scale. Basic must-know guitar theory. Easy
stuff. 3. Learn how the chords of the major scale are made and
what they are... their names etc. C Dm Em F G Am Bdim. Basic
chord construction knowledge. 4. Learn the triad patterns for
the C major scale all over the fret board. Triads are simple
3-note chords. Easy and fun to learn and play. 5. Learn to play
those triads with common chord progressions. Learn to play and
apply the triads to the most common chord progressions that fit
thousands and thousands of songs. 6. Learn to do step 5 in all
keys. Once you can do steps one to five in the key of C, it's
real easy to learn it for the other 11 major keys. Hint: It's
much easier than you think. All the patterns are exactly the
same as what you learn for C major. You don't have to learn any
new patterns. Cookie cutter stuff. It really is not hard at all.
All you need is a methodical step-by-step method that makes
sense and is easy and fun to use.
