In the world we live in today it sometimes shocks us to find some things are still free and without a catch, but it’s true. On of those things is getting free guitar lessons or ecourses online and even songs with guitar chords for you to learn right at home.

I’m just about 60 and didn’t actually learn to play acoustic guitar until I was 47 years old. I tried learning how to play guitar back in the mid 70s and didn’t succeed. I ended up giving up and giving away my guitar and books. I even hired a guy to come to my house to teach me but he just wasn’t a people person and shouldn’t have been trying to teach. I kicked his sorry ass out the door after just three lessons.

It wasn’t until 20 years later when the Internet was available to me that I started finding more and more sites about learning to play guitar and a lot of free guitar related sites. Then along came Youtube and my interest in learning to play acoustic guitar returned like a tidal wave.

The Freedom of Free Guitar Lessons

I have a membership with Jamorama.com so I can learn more and more but prior to that I learned most of what I know because of the free content, including videos, I found online. Youtube is by far my favourite site for both learning and sharing about how to play guitar as a beginner all the way to advanced.

The only downside to using the net for free content is that it’s scattered all over the place meaning you’ll need to go from site to site. But hey, I did it and learned a lot before joining Jamorama to learn more advanced lessons. Wish I had started with them as I spent a lot of time searching for the exact stuff I needed where Jamorama has it all in one place, just like JamPlay.com does.

How To Find Free Guitar Lessons Online

If you don’t think there are a lot of people who want to “learn how to play guitar online” just do a search in Google for that phrase and you’ll find about 60 million pages. Fortunately you don’t have to search through all of those to find the best as Google does a great job of giving us the best content for our search phrase.

Check Out YouTube For Free Guitar Lessons

I go to Youtube.com for free guitar lessons almost every single day. Most of the time it’s to find songs I hear on the radio I like and want to learn. To do this I look for the song, the artist and the word ‘cover’ which usually gets me a list of those doing cover songs. I will also add the word guitar into the search to be sure I find those playing guitar.

I just did a search for “how to play guitar for beginners acoustic” I added the word acoustic because I don’t have an electric guitar and would rather learn things for my Yamaha acoustic guitar.

You can search for ‘learning guitar chords’ as a way to learn more chords. I like looking for ‘guitar riffs’ or ‘guitar licks’ to learn some cool things that impress my guitar jam buddies.

Literally, all one needs to create music with an electric or acoustic guitar is the instrument itself and the able fingers of the guitarists, meaning you of course. One set of fingers is used to push down the strings while  the other is used to pluck, strum or pick the strings. Learn to play acoustic guitar starting today.

The ways by which these fingers hold down the strings can cause a variety of notes and tones that produces the music. Anyone who wants to create music, therefore, must learn guitar chords using those agile fingers.

Learning the guitar chords is a herculean task considering that there are over a hundred variety of chords; but mastering the few basic is enough to play simple compositions. There are two methods for a learner to memorize the notes: memorize the basic chords or learn how to interpret chord charts.

1. To be able to play an easy composition, there are around 16 basic guitar chords that can be used. Systematizing the recall process of the chords like the use of guitar music theory enhance the learning. To learn guitar chords here are some basic pointers:

• The basic guitar chords are named using the letters from A to G.
• An m after the letter means minor chord;  a symbol  7 means dominant chord;  and a letter without m or 7 means it is a major chord.
• A, Am and A7; B7; C, Cm and C7; D, Dm and D7; E, Em and E7; F; G and G7 are the basic chords.

2. An illustration of chords that gives a visual diagram of the chords is called a guitar chord chart.

• The lines from the bottom to the top represent the strings: Lines Low E, B, G, D, A and High E.
• The guitar has frets from left to right referred as: the top line is the nut, the  second line is the second fret, the third line is the second fret and so forth.
• The positions of the fingers between the frets where the strings are strained down are symbolized in the chord chart by black dots.
• The chord name is a letter found on the top of each chord.

These are basic information that can help one interpret the chord charts necessary to start playing the guitar. To learn guitar chords, one must start with the basic and work towards the advanced one.

Wish this had been true way back when I was wanting to learn how to play guitar for the first time. Today learning how to play your guitar isn’t a complicated process like it used to be as there are so many great guitar instruction books, in every genre you can think of, that are available in stores and especially online.

You’ll find the instructions in each genre slightly different but the actual music theory is pretty much the same. Today there are a sea of learning to play guitar instruction books to choose from.

Learning Classical Guitar

I have a friend that goes to our guitar jams periodically who was training in classic guitar music and he blows my mind.  His brother is a country bumpkin all the way and can’t stand the classic guitar playing his brother does.

When Jake plays classical guitar he hold his guitar differently than we do and he uses his fingers differently as well.

Learning Jazz Guitar

Then there’s Jazz guitar instruction which is different again from other genres and will use some unfamiliar chord structures and a lot of improvisation as one progresses through the instructions levels.

I would say that rock instruction books are the big seller as rock is the most common genre for acoustic guitar playing and is where I started learning, even though today I play more country than rock.

The thing is it really doesn’t matter where you start with guitar the basics are pretty much the same such as learning the strings and how to hold your guitar. Then it’s learning chord instructions and scales until you’re proficient.

There are a lot of guitar instructional guides or books available online and in stores, so much so that it can be tough to make up your mind where to start. There are basic introduction to guitar books and then many levels of guitar instructions books that will take you to every next level there is.

Most guitar instructional books today come with a DVD or CD that will help you to hear what the instructions are telling you which for me made a world of difference in my ability to learn how to play my guitar.

I love the idea of being able to take my guitar instructions books with me I do have a laptop now and really enjoy all the free guitar lessons I can get online. Actually that’s where I learned about the Jamorama guitar course and moved to the next level of guitar playing.

I also live on Youtube now where I not only find some great how to play guitar instruction to learn more but also to find just about any song I know where I can learn how to play it faster or sooner than later. There are so many choices when it comes to learning how to play guitar today.

Screen Shot From All Guitar Chords

I love learning new guitar chords I can use in songs I love to play and learn. Sometimes I find chords that actually fit other songs which may just use a major chord when really they didn’t know that it wasn’t. I have a guitar playing buddy that does that all the time and it works for him.

An example might be when a C/E chord is played in a song and a C chords is used instead. It can still work but with that one extra note it can make such a difference in the quality of that chord. The C/E chord is a C chord with the low E string played as the bass note.

Split Chord C/E

Well I’m not meaning to sound like I’m complaining about Gary. He just always take the time to learn the actually chord. It’s so cool when I point out a chord that he has been using for years and give him the right finger positioning for the right chord. At first he’s offended I would imply he is not using the right chord but then he’s excited about it.

Now I’ve given him a link to a site that has so many chords and chord variations. All Gary has to do now is to find the chords and click get to get a visual of it’s positioning on the neck of a guitar. How much easier is that.

The site is All Guitar Chords and is so worth visiting. I spend so much time there just learning new chords and getting the feel for them. Quite often I hear something in the chord that makes me think of a song and then it’s off to learn it.

Learning how to form chords on your acoustic guitar is important. If you aren’t forming your chords correctly you may just be hampering your speed. I didn’t learn much when I first started playing but what I did learn was how to form a proper chord and how to change to the next efficiently.

The thing is I gave up after just a couple of months as I had no one to play guitar with and no one to help me with learning how to play with rhythm. Books were great for learning chords but didn’t do anything for my playing.

Many years later when I picked guitar up again and had access to friends who play and of course the Internet I still remembered the chords I had learned more than 25 years earlier and how to form those chords.

My new guitar playing friends had learned to play more than 30 years ago and knew hundreds of songs but when I started learning from them I realized I was getting faster or they were getting slower. They didn’t form their guitar chords the same way I do and it actually confused them.

I learned a more efficient method of chord fingering that tends to make my chord changes more efficient as well and that’s where the speed comes in .

Example: Let’s use a chord change between G and C. I will use images to show you rather than type out confusing words. They say a picture is worth a thousand words anyways.

To the left is a diagram showing my finger positions while forming a G chord. On the right is how my friends form their G chord. They both sound clear and clear but what happens when they have to change to chords from the G to a C, a G7 or a Gsus4.

Numbering your fingers starting on the left with your index finger through to your pinky are 1, 2, 3 and 4. So my finger positions when forming a G chord are as follows. I use fingers 2, 3 and 4, shown in the image about and to the left. My guitar buddies use fingers 1, 2 and 3 to form their G chord.

Now let’s switch to a C chord and see what happens to our fingers as we all use the same fingers to form the C chord.

I am able to move my fingers 2 and 3 from the E and A Strings to the A and D string with ease and just drop my index finger on the B string first fret.

My friends however have to remove all their fingers in order to reposition them correctly.

And if we look at the G7 and Gsus4 we use in a lot of songs it’s the same thing. I can keep my finger positions easier and just drop my index finger into place while the others have to reform the entire chord each time.

They have since learned the chord pattern I use for my G so they can switch much more efficiently but they still use the old G formation for all other songs. It gets hardwired into your brain and can easily cost you when it come to playing those really fast songs.

Take the time to learn how to form chords using the most efficient finger positioning and you will get faster and smoother.

Two excellent places to learn how to play guitar without leaving the comfort of your home are Jamorama or Jamplay or both. I am evaluation both at the moment and have found them both to be great places for starter or for those that wish to take their guitar playing to the next level, which is what I wanted to do.

Guitar is an amazing instrument and has made my life so much better. It’s a great choice to make if you want to play music and be mobile. I love going to guitar jams and playing guitar around a campfire.

As one interested in learning how to play guitar and as a beginner guitar player you need to focus on a few things that make the learning process more efficient. This way you will not be so likely to give up like I did when I first started all those years ago.

Learn The Parts of Your Guitar

What Are The Guitar Parts Called

When I first started to play guitar I wanted to learn all about my guitar, not as much as I wanted to learn to play though.

To begin learning acoustic guitar or for that matter, any type of guitar, it is important for your to learn the parts of the guitar first.

It’s easier to follow guitar learning instructions if you know the name of important parts of your guitar.

Some of the important parts to remember are, the fret board and frets, tuning keys, the head nut ( "Barre" in French) and the bridge with string pegs.

Know Your Beginner Guitar Chords A Thru G

Guitar chords are the language of guitars and the more of the language or chords you learn to use the more songs you will be able to play. Starting with the basic chord shapes in the image above is a great place to start.

I made a point of learning a lot of chords shapes when I learned to play my acoustic guitar and today I am light years ahead of my of my guitar playing friends as they are limited by their lack of learning chords like barre chords. They have been playing 20 years longer than I have as well.

I really believe it’s how you start learning to play guitar that’s important. If you learn only the basic guitar chords and then stop learning you are missing so much, as my friends have now learned.

Learn How To String Your Guitar

In order to use your guitar whether it’s an acoustic or electric you have to put strings on it. Knowing the name or letter of each string is important. Get them mixed up and it won’t sound correct at all but worse you will likely break your strings before even getting to play them.

Holding your guitar in front of you in the standing position and facing you of course, your strings are: E, A, D, G, B, E

You have two E strings, the thicker string on the left as you’re looking at it is the low E string and the thin string on the right is high E.

Once you have your strings memorized you will be able to follow and learn each not on every string as you go down the fret board. This will also help you when you start doing barre chords.

It’s been about 10 years since I finally bought an acoustic guitar and began to learn how to play my new guitar. Well new to me that is. Nothing says one needs a brand new acoustic guitar to enjoy playing guitar.

I started by learning a few simple chords which only took a few minutes to learn. Immediately I was able to learn hundreds of songs that use those particular chords.

The first chords I learned were A, C, D, E, F. Here’s a image of what those chord shapes are as well as where you’re fingers are placed to make that chord.

These Chords Took Just Minutes To Learn

I quickly learned that by adding just two extra chords, minor chords, that I had a whole new world of songs opened up to me.

I have learned a lot of chords since I started playing acoustic guitar but those first two minor chords I learned made a huge difference in the number of songs I was learning.

Looking For Great Online Guitar Lessons

Two of my favourite sites for learning how to play acoustic guitar are Jamorama and JamPlay.

Both sites have quality lessons that are worth checking out, whether you’re new to playing guitar or just want to become more advanced.

I take a long time if I try to learn a song on my acoustic guitar by just listening to a song. Sometimes I get a few chords but tend to get frustrated. I should add that the longer I play the better I get at recognizing chords and notes by ear.

Use Youtube To Learn Songs

I have say that we are certainly blessed today as we have Youtube. Pretty much every song I like I can find on Youtube but even better most of the songs I can find someone playing it on an acoustic guitar.

When I am looking for songs to learn on Youtube I usually search the name of the song and then add something like the word lesson or cover. It works great most of the time and in seconds I am listening, watching and learning how to play acoustic guitar. What a great hobby.

Jamming Acoustic Guitar With Friends

I was so happy to finally be learning how to play guitar. Of course I couldn’t stop talking about it at work and soon found a few others that played guitar and before long we had a guitar jam planned.

That little guitar jam was awesome and turned into a weekly jam, sometimes two a week. One would be a practice so we could learn new songs and the other was to for jamming with what we’d learned.

There are numerous ways in which you can study ways to become a good guitar strummer. But first, the essentials.

First and most important, you’ve got to have your own guitar. How can you gain the knowledge of the proper way to play without the proper instrument to hand? You have got to create first what sort of guitar you would like to play. Borrowing a guitar would be acceptable, but what if you cannot borrow it on a constant basis? Your coaching and practice will be impeded.

Then choose a particular song that you like, something that often sets you in a good vibe mood. Better yet , something inspiring. Inspiring enough to inspire you to try and play the chords time after time again and a song that you never tire of. Preferrably you need to pick easy songs to learn on the guitar as a newb, then move on to something more complicated, after you’ve the easy ones mastered.

When you’ve decided on which particular song gets you going and yet you don’t have any idea on how to put on a tune, ask somebody who’s got the knowledge of how to play a guitar to help you to work it out. Let them read the tabs. If you don’t know how, let somebody interpret it for you. Here, teamwork is vital. The same individual may be able to be of help for you in deciding which finger goes where to achieve the right sound.

It is excellent advice to begin learning by listening with the heart. The great sound of a song, doesn’t just rely on the chords themselves being played but on the musician. A great musician creates a master piece out of a chunk of music just by listening to every twang of his guitar and putting his own feel to it.

Statistics indicate that almost 90% of those individuals who plays the guitar admit they learned it the awkward way. In reality playing the guitar is, too many much harder than it appears. It is by far easier to listen and hear, than to comprehend and know how it is done. Learning without some background or even some assistance from someone in the club, is extremely tough for most newbies, unless they have a natural ear and capability.

If you can’t afford a personal instructor, there are plenty of options, you may look at acquiring a book about the do’s and don’ts of learning a guitar. Apart from that, it might also be challenging on your side to guess where to put the most significant finger on the most significant string. Attempt to get a step by
step guide on acquiring the basic and most critical chords that commonly appear in a lot of songs.

Then you ask, do you continue to need a guide. It generally is required. You really do need somebody to listen to and critque you. He must establish if your fingers are positioned in their right places. Reference material or an online class will certainly be of big help nonetheless it will not be able to hear if you are out of
tune or if you’re really playing the precise track. So you may really find it useful to call out for lending hand and somebody to watch your progress.

Big hint for beginners is to first off focus yourself on the basic chords and leave the hard ones to conquer a little bit later on after you have a good understanding on chords like A, A minor, E, E minor, D, G which are easier to work on. There are types of songs which contain only these chords. Getting a handle on your fingers to
adjust strings each change of tempo enables an amateur to progress a quicker pace.

Take it slow, a large amount of exalted guitar players acquired the talent only after an extended period. Don’t apply to much stress on yourself, relax and bide your time when you’re not getting it right. The key in learning is to generate an optimistic way of thinking and to enjoy what you do.

When you have mastered 1 or 2 songs, you will be so pleased with yourself and really enjoy the cool it time to just sit and play your guitar, and then you can experiment with the more challenging sides of learning the guitar.
