How to teach yourself guitar with zero foundation

1. Prerequisite preparation: To learn guitar, you must have a guitar. For beginners, just buy an ordinary one.

2. But don’t buy a piano that is too inferior, because after playing for a long time, you will find that a inferior piano not only has inferior tone and feel, but more importantly, it affects your playing.

3. Start learning: You must first figure out the structure of the guitar, how many strings there are, how to sequence them, how to identify tablature, how to identify chord diagrams, etc.

4. Advanced learning: Advanced learning is generally divided into two parts. One is the various chords used in singing songs. Various decomposition and strumming rhythm patterns for the right hand.

5. The second is the scales of various finger types (la finger type, sol finger type, si finger type, mi finger type, etc.) and various solo music.

How long does it take to learn guitar by yourself from scratch

First of all, for guitar beginners, a good guitar is particularly important. Sometimes you study very seriously and the method is correct, but the efficiency is not high and the progress is slow. It's not because you don't have talent, or because you don't work hard enough, it's because you have a piano that doesn't suit you. Some pianos have very high pitch, which makes it difficult for beginners to play chords. Due to the problem of poor piano, it is even more difficult for self-learners.

So choosing a guitar that suits you is the first and most important thing for self-study guitar. Whether a guitar is good or not is suitable. First, look at the feel. It must be comfortable when holding it or playing chords, and then look at the sound quality of the guitar. Of course, many people are self-taught and actually know nothing about guitars. It is recommended that when buying a guitar, you should not just listen to the boss’s introduction. The way to find it is to find someone who understands piano and buy it together to avoid being scammed.

Secondly, when learning guitar by yourself, you must not be impetuous and start from the most basic. Guitar playing and singing are nothing more than three major contents: chords, strumming, and broken down rhythm. The left hand is responsible for playing chords, and the right hand is responsible for strumming or breaking down rhythm. Therefore, we need to break them one by one. For guitar beginners, it is recommended to practice the decomposed rhythm of the right hand first, such as the universal rhythm of four beats 53231323, the universal rhythm of three beats 532123, and the universal rhythm of two beats 5313 or 5323.

Practice this decomposition rhythm thoroughly and let your right hand become familiar with the guitar strings. Then, when reading the textbook and starting to play chords and learn chords, first let go of your right hand, put all your energy on the chords of your left hand, and become proficient in converting the commonly used sixth chords in the key of C to each other. Don't be impatient in this process, and don't blindly pursue it. Efficiency and speed, pursue accuracy when practicing chords, that is to say, change the chords correctly. When practicing strumming, practice each attack one by one according to the rhythm pattern in the textbook. Self-study method for beginners to get started with guitar 2

1. Get to know the guitar

PS: Don’t be in a hurry to play. The names of the various parts of the guitar are very important, especially the understanding of the frets and strings, which will be frequently used in the future. Estimated learning time: 8 minutes.

2. How to hold the guitar

PS: Fix the guitar at three points. The left hand is not involved in holding, and this newbie does many things wrong. Estimated learning time: 5 minutes.

3. Plucking the strings with the right hand

PS: Plug the 6 strings according to pima’s plucking rules. This is an important but relatively easy to master string picking exercise. It will feel difficult at first but you can master it in a few hours. Once you become proficient enough to quickly use the corresponding fingers to pick the corresponding strings, you can also perform the following exercises. Estimated learning time: 5 hours

PS: The above three points have a certain advanced relationship. Cannot be skipped. After practicing the above three points, you can practice daily.

Daily practice: (practice every day)

(1) Scales

To practice scales, you can play do re mi fa so. . . You can also play the single notes composed of scales in Little Star. Practice for ten minutes every day. The focus of this exercise is not on speed, but on accuracy.

(2) Climbing the grid

1. Climbing the grid is a difficult exercise. He is the equivalent of a basketball player's leg press. It does not require you to "press your legs" very well. The purpose is that this process acts to stretch the fingers. This takes several months.

2. Since this exercise is difficult, there is no advancement relationship. You don't have to climb the grid well before you can proceed to the next exercise. Do this exercise for ten minutes each day, then move on to the next exercise in your daily routine.

(3) Break down rhythm and chord practice

Step 1: Choose a song that is more suitable for beginners. The rhythm is (T3231323) and there are no chords that are too difficult. Three recommended songs: Orchid Grass, The Meaning of Travel, Tick Tock (please ignore the difficult intro), etc.

Step 2: Know the guitar tab for playing and singing

Step 3: The exercise is a decomposition exercise for the right hand, T3231323. Strictly follow the fingering rules of the right hand. The goal is to become proficient in this picking sequence and develop muscle memory in your right hand. Just practice until you can dial this rhythm naturally and accurately. (The left hand does not press the strings in this exercise)

ps: This exercise usually requires a total of 5 or 6 hours of practice time.

Step 4: Learn the first chord that appears in the singing part of the score. After playing the chords, check to see if there are any silent strings. If so, adjust them. After pressing it correctly, add the third step of right-hand decomposition. After you are proficient, practice the second chord, and so on.

ps; I won’t say much more at this time, as each song has different levels of difficulty. But at least a few days cumulatively.

Step 5: Practice chord conversion, the connection between the two chords must be consistent

ps: To practice the conversion of two chords, you must learn the fingering of the two chords separately. The practice of chord conversion makes perfect. Different chords have different levels of difficulty. Suppose the left hand converts the C-G arpeggio into the right hand. After dozens or hundreds of times, you will become proficient. 3 self-study methods for beginners to get started with guitar
