I m going to teach myself guitar, any good advice?

I taught myself guitar.

1 - No matter how you learn the guitar, it is a long process.

2 - See if there is a good friend around you and ask him to point you out; If not, buy a basic guitar book with VCD, and recommend Du Xinchun's "Folk Guitar Self-learning Tutorial - Introduction and Breakthrough" (VCD two plates, price: 18:80).

3 - Reading books and practicing chords, although it is not very complicated, but mastering it requires consistent practice every day, at least half a year.

4 - How you have a good sense of musicality or have learned other instruments will help you a lot to learn the guitar, but it will take some time to master the guitar chords. Even if you don't have any basic knowledge and haven't learned other musical instruments, it's not difficult to practice and play and sing proficiently, if you really like it!

5 - While doing basic exercises, play some simple and classic songs, such as "Orchid Grass".

6 - Two hours a day is recommended, but at least one hour, of course, the more the merrier! But it depends on your time. Eight hours a day for a professional to maintain the level!!

7 - Perseverance, patience and carefulness! Don't imagine any shortcuts to mastering chord practice! Learning guitar isn't difficult, but it's important to keep doing it! If you fish for three days and dry your nets for two days, then I would recommend not learning guitar!

Don't hesitate, since you like it, then practice! Again, be persistent!

By the way, when playing the guitar, you hold the strings with your left hand and pluck the strings with your right hand, so you need to try to cut the nails of your left hand except your thumb, while the right hand is the opposite, you need to leave a little nail for plucking the strings.

When you first start practicing chords, it hurts to press the chords with your left hand, but it doesn't matter, you can get used to it after a week.

Finally, let's talk about the types of guitars, generally speaking, there are three types of guitars:

1.Classical guitar.

The neck is short and thick, the top and back plate of the body are flat, the middle of the panel is a round hole, the use of nylon strings, the resonance box is small but the resonance effect is good, there are 12 grids from the string pillow to the body, the sound quality is soft and simple, suitable for playing classical music.

2.Folk guitar.

The neck is thin and long, with steel strings, and the resonance box is large and thick, with a total of 14 squares from the string pillow to the body, and the sound quality is clear and clear, the chords are full and beautiful, and the rhythm is bright and expressive, suitable for playing folk jazz and hit songs.

3.Electric guitar.

The neck is the same as the folk guitar, using steel wire strings, no resonance box, it relies on the pickup to transmit the sound to the amplifier to amplify, and then pronounced by the speaker, its volume, timbre can be adjusted, often played with effects, to obtain many special effects, suitable for light and pop playing.

Classical guitar is the same as piano, the younger you are, the better it is, preferably before the age of ten; The folk guitar has no age distinction, and it is a common instrument for self-entertainment, which is widely loved by young friends; Electric guitars are best to have a folk guitar base for band stage playing.
