 Beginner of playing the guitar should be careful about next three points.

・Tuning

・Remembering the way of holding chords

・Reading the music score

Let`s see upper three points more particularly.

・Tuning

When we practice the guitar, adjusting the guitar`s tuning is very important. If you practice the guitar in wrong tuning, you cannot know correct step. This interferes with you to progress in the guitar. Tuning is listening the guitar`s sound on playing and adjusting the step to comfortable step. General tuning is next.

Tuning is done with tuner or diapason. When chromatic tuner is used to adjust the tuning, you only have to turn the guitar`s peg until the finger point to correct step on sounding the guitar`s opening string. Not only do tuning 1~6 strings once but repeating doing tuning again until step`s difference decreasing is important. Diapason is a bar to get the sound of A step. A is guitar`s 5 string`s opening sound. After adjust 5 string`s sound, other string`s sound can be adjusted by depending on 5 string`s sound.

※The tuning of the guitar is various. Depending on the song you practice, the guitar`s tuning may different from general tuning.

・Remembering the way of holding chords

Chord is guitar`s basic technic. In previous week`s blog, the mechanism of chord is written. What is important is remembering the way of holding chords. It is unnecessary to remember all the chords in text book`s pages. You only have to remember the chord used in your practicing song. Until you became able to hold chord enough to play some song, you may think the guitar is dull, however, once you be able to hold chord enough to play some song, you will be fun. So please never give up holding chord.

・Reading the tab music score

After becoming able to hold some chord, let`s understand how to read the tab music score. Differing from 5 lines music score, tab score`s number of line is 6. A lot of guitarist can read tab score smoother than 5 lines score. Beginner also ought to read tab score smoother.  Tab score is the guitar`s special score resembling 5 lines score used with the piano. Differing from 5 lines score, the number written in tab score is the number of the fret which should be held. In tab score, what is written is not only the number of fret, but also the technic which should play is written. For example, Hammering, Pulling, Glissando, Trill, Harmonix, Brushing, Slide, Right Hand, and so on. These technic make your playing gorgeous.

By knowing these information, you can start playing the guitar!!
