As a rule, for the query “guitar tutorial”, search services return hundreds of approximately identical sites representing Internet analogues of paper publications. There is nothing wrong with that: such manuals can give you the necessary theoretical knowledge, teach you how to play songs by tablature and read chord fingerings.
Guitar tutorials on YouTube are perhaps no less than text tutorials. We advise you to pay attention to those where lessons are taught by reputable musicians, or channels with a solid number of subscribers. For the rest - be guided by personal preferences, and we will talk about two popular Russian-language channels about the guitar.
The channel of Anton and Alexey - two Petersburgers who not only share tips on playing and learning, but also invite experts who give exclusive lessons, play instruments and post video reviews of guitars. There are videos for both beginners and advanced guitarists.
On this channel, guitarist Pavel posts a thorough analysis of popular acoustic guitar compositions. The repertoire is wide: from pop hits by Max Korzh to the soundtrack from Interstellar.
With VKontakte groups it is more and more difficult: many advanced guitarists do not communicate in the community for beginners, but there are a lot of amateurs who consider themselves pros in such groups. We advise you to be skeptical about professional advice from groups and publics. But such interest clubs can be very useful when looking for like-minded people, chords and tablature for songs. Also in such groups you can almost always find ads for sale and purchase.
A music editor familiar to many who have dealt with learning melodies from tablature. You can record your tracks of various instruments, export them to MIDI or print them. The program has a metronome, a function for displaying a musical staff and a guitar neck, the ability to record any nuances of articulation and add effects. On the Internet you can find guitar pro tabs for any well-known song. Special sites will help with the search:
PreSonus Studio One 3 / wikipedia.org A useful experience for any guitarist is to listen to yourself from the outside. This requires special applications. DAW programs (sequencers) will help you record your compositions, mix guitar tracks and create accompaniment from virtual instruments. There are at least a dozen worthy sequencers. For beginners, we advise you to pay attention to PreSonus Studio One, Steinberg Cubase and Ableton Live.
An interactive tutorial that recognizes the notes taken on the guitar using a microphone. You can go through the lessons in stages or focus on learning songs from the library. The gameplay is reminiscent of Guitar Hero, only in front of you, not colored circles, but numbers with the designation of the fret on the desired string light up. The free version of the game has limitations, a premium subscription will cost 332 rubles per month when purchased for a year.
The guitar has always been an attribute of a cheerful company, especially during the season of summer picnics and parties. And with the advent of the latest gadgets, learning to play the six-string "girlfriend" is as easy as shelling pears. You just need to know what applications for guitarists exist for this, and this article will help you figure it out.
So you've decided to learn how to play the guitar. To do this, take your mobile phone or tablet - no matter what operating system it has - and download the Guitar tuna tuner. A tuner is a program that allows you to tune musical instruments to the desired pitch. The tuner works as follows: it “compares” the sounds coming from the instrument with the reference indicator using the built-in sensor. There are tuners that are produced in the form of receivers, and there are in the form of applications.
The most popular internet tuner in existence is Guitar tuna. This is an easy-to-use, simple and, not least, free tuner. How to use it? Very simple. Bring your mobile device to the guitar and use the application to tune the guitar. After checking and twisting the strings, you can safely start playing. The tuner will periodically give you tips to bring your guitar playing to perfection. It automatically recognizes the string number and allows you to play in different keys. Perfect for both acoustic and electric guitars. The only drawback is that the tuner is unstable to external noise.
Having tuned the guitar, it's time to start learning chords and deal with tablature. A tabulator will help to cope with this task. This is a chart recording that shows the strings of the guitar, the separation is the same and the fret numbers. There are a lot of tabulator apps. One of the most popular - Songsterr for all platforms. It has an impressive database of songs, clear, user-friendly design, offline mode, sorting songs into categories and much more. The tabulator has a built-in player that voices tabs, which can easily play against the background of other musical instruments. A group of musicians will definitely like it.
GuitarToolkit- an application for beginner guitarists, another popular Internet tabulator. Initially, the application was created for recording notes, but over time, the creators decided to convert it into a tabulator. Convenient service, large base of chords - 200 thousand, metronome, arpeggios, scales. Supports all kinds of guitars, which only are. Available for iOS platform only.
is another guitar app for iOs and Android containing chord charts. It can be used as a tuning fork when neither a tuner nor an experienced musician is at hand.
Songsterr Guitar Tabs- an application for tuning the guitar and downloading tabs for songs. Available for all platforms. The database contains half a million records. The application allows you to change musical instruments, select your own tempo of sound - in a word, do everything so that your attempts to learn how to play the guitar are crowned with success.
is a game application that can be considered an invaluable contribution for beginners who do not want to cram complex chords. Created for the iOS platform. The essence of the game is as follows. You are its main character, who has to complete a simple task - to collect the animals that escaped from the zoo. Each animal responds to a specific guitar sound, so before starting the game you need to pick up a guitar and collect the fugitives. When an escaped crocodile or hippopotamus appears on the screen of your gadget, the chord below is displayed, which must be played in order for the animal to get back to the zoo. So gradually you will begin to learn a lot of chords without resorting to boring cramming. I must say that the application is paid - it costs 799 rubles in the AppStore.
Guitar Tutorial
Well, dear readers, here we come directly to the beginning of your learning to play the six-string guitar.
Now you already know the history of the guitar, its structure and the name of all the components (I hope). The tool is purchased and configured.
Let's just agree on a few things.
Well, basically, that's all. The rest you will learn in the process of reading my tutorials. Some lessons will be accompanied by a video for better understanding of the material. Click the link for the FIRST guitar lesson and go!
Instruction
Install the software. Guitar Instructor is distributed as free software, Guitar Pro is a licensed program, but there are also demo versions. Guitar Instructor takes up little space, besides, to install it, you just need to run the file with the .exe extension. True, it does not have a chord constructor, but it does have chord progressions, which are not in Guitar Pro. The built-in tuner and metronome are both in one and in the other, as well as reference books of chords and scales.
Open the Guitar Instructor program. Look at the main menu. There you will see five sections - "Chords" (Chords), "Chord Progressions", "Scales", "Tuner", "Metronome". Check out each of them. In the first one you will find over six hundred standard chords and chords with modified bass. They are presented in the form of tablature. Learn to read them. Pay attention to the fact that there are not five rulers on the tablature, as in the usual musical notation, but six. The thickest, she is the sixth, is drawn below. Each colored dot corresponds to the position of the finger on a particular string. Learn the Latin notation for notes, this is necessary for reading chords.
Set up the instrument. Use the built-in tuner for this. In a six-string guitar, the first string is built in unison with the sound of mi of the first octave. In Latin, this will be E. Tune the rest of the strings using the same tuner or in the standard way, pressing the second string at the fifth fret, the third at the fourth, the rest at the fifth again. They should sound in unison with the open previous ones. The built-in tuner gives a standard system.
Select the desired key from the list of standard chords. You will see a list of possible options for a given consonance, and you need to determine the position. Check the required option. Some strings are marked with . It can either stand above the sixth string or beside the fretboard. If the cross is on top, this means that the sixth string does not need to be touched. The icon next to the string indicates that it remains open when playing this chord. You can get additional information about each chord. The corresponding button is at the bottom. There you will learn the type of consonance, in what keys it is used.
With your finger in the right position, run your right hand over the strings. All chord sounds should sound crisp, clear and even. There should be no rattling, dull sound and other defects. If they are, adjust the position of the left hand. It is necessary that all the strings are clamped equally strongly, but the hand remains free at the same time.
Learn chord progressions. This can be done in the second section, "Chord Progressions". Here you will see . At the first stage, you will not need this, but later, when you start to select songs, it can be very useful. In any case, it will not be necessary to calculate each chord separately. Consonance sequences are built according to certain rules, and this section gives an idea about them. Playing sequences should be started after you learn how to take confidently.
In parallel with mastering the chords, study the fretboard. The guitar is such an instrument on which each sound can be played on several strings and several frets. You have already encountered this when learning chords. Try switching to scales. The Scales section is built on the same principle as the previous ones. Choose a gamut, then get to know it in more detail. Learn one of the most popular scales - at least A minor or C major. Play it until you master the major/minor pattern and fingering. It is better to start playing from the bottom up, then vice versa, using the same fingering.
Try playing chord progressions and solo links at the right tempo. This feature is provided by the built-in metronome. In the box, enter the desired number of beats per minute and click on the Start button. At the bottom of the window, beats of the measure will appear, and you will hear the specified rhythm. The size is set in the "File" menu.
