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:

Mitski - Heaven (Official Lyric Video)

[musicsweetmusic]

Yesterday something good happened here. I picked up my guitar and found my beginner's book in classical guitar and started playing. The music just poured out of the guitar and even if I am rusty it was fun. :-) Maybe with this a new chapter has begun? Being creative in music. I would like that. Nashville next, haha.

i miss when i used to write like mad and read poetry and try painting and singing and explore the random things of the world and then i remember i still can ! attention span and doomscrolling is not the forever, u can regain that time for your brain, you can learn to do it all again, all it takes is trying bit by bit

generally i don't think you should have to suffer for your art but i have to admit that guitar players shredding so hard that their instrument ends up splattered with blood is kind of hot

I love you music that's amateur and broken and vaguely shitty. I love you singers who are off-key and I love you voice cracks. I love you missed chords and guitar string squeaks and the background sounds of wherever you recorded. I love you emotions that had to be expressed, even though they're bigger than the limits of the medium. I love you musicians who had to create even before they learned everything to make something good, musicians who release demos and first-ever songs and record on bad equipment because there is something they have to say to the world, even if no one ever listens. I love you punk rock and garage bands and DIY movements and cheap second hand guitars and recording on someone's laptop because you already had it. I love you sound cloud and band camp and 10 listeners on Spotify. I love you music.
