We’ve been talking about your guitar recently, and I think you’re probably figuring out by now that there is quite a bit to know if you want to become REALLY good at this…

But that’s why we have these lessons! And today I want to cover the on your guitar.

Frets are strips of metal that cut the guitar in sections from top to bottom. The combination of strings and frets form a grid.

This grid covers the guitar neck and if you put your finger in between two frets, this allows you to play a note. The higher you place your finger on the ; the higher the sound of the note.

One way of reading sheet music, without actually having to read sheet music is through “TAB”, which assigns a numerical value to the locations on your , thus making it much easier to begin playing (especially if you have no clue at all how to read that sheet music;-).

Would you like to be able to see and hear how this is done, live and in action, thereby catapulting your playing abilities in record time?

Got 6 Strings?

Posted by admin on 29 June 2008

The other day I shared some basics on the physical components of your guitar.

In today’s lesson we’re going to talk about strings — all 6 of ‘em!

A normal guitar has six strings which are all different sizes and represent different notes.

The bottom string is usually the skinniest and has the highest sound. It is an E note and is also known as the first string.

The second string is a little thicker than the first string and is the B note.

The third string is B, the fourth string is D, the fifth string is A, and the final, sixth string is an E, just like the first string. This sixth string is the thickest string of the set, has the lowest sound, and is the one that is closest to you.

In fact, if your guitar is tuned correctly, the first string and the sixth string should give you the same note but in different pitches.

For some people, it’s a bit difficult to memorize the notes, so I recommend doing something like this:

Eat
All
Day
Get
Big
Easy

That way it’s simple to remember E,A,D,G,B,E:)

Can you believe these guys do this

Posted by admin on 27 June 2008

Guess what?

There’s a little industry secret the guitar stores don’t want to let you in on… The reason being — by keeping you in the dark, they make more money!

Well, here’s some insider tips to help you save on that first guitar!

Don’t make it seem that you are in a rush to buy… and NEVER EVER pay the list price for the guitar you want. In general, list prices are inflated.

While many people find it difficult to bargain with a salesperson for a discount, it is not as difficult as it may seem.

Start off by asking for the price for everything, which includes the guitar, the case, and tax, all together…

When they tell you the price, think for a moment (really give it some pause) and then ask them what they can do to work with you a little.

While it’s good to have in mind a price that you want to pay, I’d recommend shooting for a 15 percent discount off of list.

If you know of a store where you know they are offering a lower price on the same guitar you want, let the salesperson know this. You may have to apply a little pressure to get your bargain but this can save you plenty of cash.

If the guitar you want is on sale or if it is already a low priced instrument, it will be hard to convince the salesperson to drop the price even more, but if this is the case, you might want to ask if they could throw in some guitar accessories at no charge or at a steep discount.

This may include items such as , guitar polish, picks, or string winders. This may not be the BIG discount that you want but in the guitar industry remember that EVERYTHING is negotiable!

Your pre guitar checklist

Posted by admin on 26 June 2008

You’ll be amazed at just how easy that really can be for you, and I’ve uncovered an incredible resource that will allow you to become a fantastic player (quickly)…

So, before you buy that guitar of yours, here are some things you may wish to consider…

When you are just beginning to learn the guitar you may wonder which is a better learning guitar, an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar. It is best to consider a variety of things when making your decision.

Maybe one of the most important things to consider when picking a guitar is the type of music you want to play on it. If you like rock and want to jam out loud, you should obviously pick an electric guitar.

However, if you enjoy softer music like country, folk, etc., you might opt for an acoustic guitar.

It is important to consider these things because if you purchase a guitar that is not right for you, then you will not be motivated to play it on a regular basis.

Another important factor in choosing what guitar to start with is your personality. There are some people who want to see results right away but if they don’t they get frustrated; lose interest and stop playing the guitar.

If you think you are this type of person, consider an electric guitar. These are smaller than acoustic guitars and have smaller necks so it is much easier to press the strings…

This gives you the ability to play your guitar faster and easier.

Know what you want, or already have that guitar in hand? Well, if you’re ready to FINALLY like a pro, you need to grab your own copy of , the ONLY course available online that can show you EXACTLY how to become a great player, regardless of how much experience you have:
