playing the guitar

hey there! welcome back. let’s talk about why playing the guitar is such a fantastic hobby. 🎸

playing the guitar is a great way to relax and express yourself. it improves your hand-eye coordination, boosts your creativity, and can even enhance your memory and concentration. plus, it’s super fun and can be a great way to connect with others through music.

ready to start strumming? here’s a step-by-step guide to help you begin your guitar journey:

choose your guitar: decide between an acoustic or electric guitar. acoustic guitars are great for beginners because they’re straightforward and don’t require extra equipment like amplifiers.

get the right gear: you’ll need a guitar, a tuner, a few picks, and a capo. a guitar strap and a case are also useful.

learn the parts of the guitar: familiarize yourself with the different parts of the guitar, like the headstock, neck, body, and strings.

tune your guitar: use a tuner to get your guitar in standard tuning (E A D G B e). this is crucial for making sure your guitar sounds good.

learn basic chords: start with simple chords like C, G, D, and E minor. these are the building blocks for many songs.

practice strumming patterns: get comfortable with basic strumming patterns. this will help you keep a steady rhythm.

play simple songs: pick easy songs to practice, like “knockin’ on heaven’s door” by bob dylan or “three little birds” by bob marley. this will help you apply what you’ve learned.

practice regularly: consistency is key. try to practice a little bit every day to build muscle memory and improve your skills.

explore different genres: once you’re comfortable, try playing different styles of music like rock, blues, or folk to keep things interesting.

here are a couple of youtube videos to help you get started:

Day One of trying to learn guitar: I can play with a single finger on the upper E string, I am amazing, I am soon to be heralded as the next rock god.

Day Two of trying to learn guitar: I cannot make the D chord work, my bottom E string always sounds muted, my fingers are fat and inflexible, I am the worst thing to happen to music ever.

Who knows what day three will bring?

Turnaround/Ref Sheet - The Hellish Misadventures - Axel

Like Angie's sheet, there's a few notes and a little "profile" for Axel as well, as an introduction to his gremlin character:

Angie's honorary uncle, Axel is a spirited guy, smart and quick... And a troublemaker. Eric's best friend, has been through a lot before becoming the youngest member of Sola Busca as a skilled guitarist, proudly adopting The Devil as his stage name. After a fatal car accident with Angie, they ended up having to work in Bureaucratic Hell. They are, though, too human for the job. That won't stop him from going to Rock n' Roll Hell, though.

What I suffered most with him? I forgot he's a guitarist and I'd actually have to draw his guitar. Of course, he plays a cherry (wood?) red Gibson SG.

Like Angie's color palette, his is based on his main "sins" back when he was alive, being greed and jealousy - green. That's it. But there are a few drops of red, I wrote on the ref sheet it's a hint of wrath, but it would also be of lust. In equal parts he's a trainwreck.

Also: his hands are huge, yes, it's a pet peeve I have with male guitarists worldwide. Whenever I'm trying to learn a song, I stare at their hands and "how HUGE do they have to be to reach THAT note, you MONSTER?"

Shoutout to the key of C minor for consistently humbling me on both the guitar and ukulele

[necromancy-savant]

I wrote a song for just acoustic guitar and voice and I want to record and release it. I'm getting way too far ahead of myself but I'm tired of not releasing anything and I write the songs anyway thus far
