Learning electric guitar can be a wonderful experience, but as with all things you need to be patient and practice a lot.
Step #1 – Learnig the basics. Guitars have six strings, each a different width and tension to give a different tone, you need to understand and learn how each string sounds. Press the strings against the fretboard – or neck – of the guitar to change the tone, making it slightly higher the higher up the fretboard you go.
The raised ridges along the neck are the frets, by the way. These are all terms you’ll learn and remember once you start learning electric guitar.
Step #2 – Training you hands to getting used to the actions of playing. The tips of your fingers will hurt a bit at first, but in time you’ll build calluses. You also might end up with your wrists and knuckles a little sore, since you’ll be twisting them in a bit of an unnatural motion.
Step #3 – Start learning your scales. A scale is an “octave” of notes – do-re-me-fa-so-la-ti-do – upon which all music is based. Master the scale, and you’re well on your way, because once you’ve got that down you’ve truly learned how play guitar.
A great thing about learning electric guitar is that it is pretty easy to start. Don’t get me wrong – the best guitar players worked very hard to get where they are today, however getting good is very achievable to most players. Take a few lessons and practice every day. If you are willing to practice consistently, you will get good very quickly. After that, the sky is the limit
