5 Reasons that Hold People Back from Learning to Play the Guitar

 

I have always wanted to learn to play the guitar. I have heard this on one too many occasions.

 

And with my usual reply: So why didn't you?, I’d brace myself for the barrage of reasons to explain their inaction.

 

So with that, here are the top 5 reasons that hold people back from learning to play the guitar, and more importantly, why they should NOT stop you.

 

#01 - I don’t have a guitar and I don’t want to spend too much $$ to buy one.

 

You do not need a Ferrari to learn to drive.

 

But having said that, owning a decent guitar (low action and good intonation) is important for learning. Using a poorly constructed one will give rise to extraneous pain causing one to give up prematurely.

 

Use the guide below to help you find a decent one:

 

 

A decent entry level classical/ acoustic guitar can be obtained at $100-200.

 

In fact, I've only owned 2 guitars so far: a Yamaha (classical, $120 in 1995) and a Asahi (classical, $70 in 2000).

 

For value buys, look out for promotions at Swee Lee music store @ Bras Basah complex or Davis Guitar @ Peninsula Shopping complex (Singapore).

 

You may even consider second hand guitars at Cash Converters. But do inspect thoroughly for defects (warped neck, bloated body, hairline cracks, loose tuning pegs).

 

 

#02 - My guitar hasn’t been touched for years/ decades. It’s probably very out of tune and I don’t know how to tune it.

 

Surprisingly this reason is more common than I thought. Trust me, it is not as difficult as you think it is.

 

In fact, with the slew of mobile tuner apps available, you can be tone deaf and still be able to tune the guitar.

 

Check out how to tune a guitar: http://chords-haven.blogspot.sg/2015/06/how-to-tune-guitar.html

 

For beginners, I'd recommend using an app to tune all 6 strings and then use the fifth fret method to check for relative tuning.

 

 

#03 - I don’t know music theory.

 

Truth be told. Many accomplished guitarists don’t. I didn’t. And I only learned it after I could play the guitar.

 

 

#04 - I have short and/ or weak fingers.

 

 

Really?

 

 

#05 - I can’t find anyone to teach me; I don’t want to spend $$ on lessons.

 

Nowadays, the Internet is a treasure trove of free instructional materials. The challenge comes in picking out the really good ones.

 

You may wish to use Learn to Play Contemporary Guitar that is designed as a standalone instructional package for aspiring guitarists to pick up the instrument without the need for expensive lessons.

Wish you a fruitful quest for the joy of guitar playing and music making.

How to Tune the Guitar

 

Method 01: Using a mobile Tuner App

 

For this post, the Guitar Tuna app (iOS and Android, free) will be used for illustration.

 

How to use:

 

1. Open the app and position your phone microphone near the guitar.

 

2. Pluck the 1st string (high E) and check the app.

 

3. If the string is in-tune, you should see a tick in the bubble at the top of the screen.

 

 

4. Otherwise, the words “too low!!” or “too high!!” will be shown.

 

 

5. Tighten (for too low) or (for too high) loosen the tuning key for the string until you get the tick.

 

Repeat Steps 2-5 for the rest of the strings for their respective notes.

 

---

 

Method 02: 5th Fret Method (Relative Tuning)

 

Using the 5th fret method, we can tune the strings relative to one another.

 

The basis of this method is that the note of an open string is the same as that of the 5th fret of the string before it.

For the method to work, you must first ensure that one of the strings is tuned correctly either using the tuner app, tuning fork or piano etc and then use that string as the reference.

 

For example, I would make the 6th string (low E) the reference.

 

• Play the 5th fret of the 6th (E) string and then play the open 5th (A) string. Their pitches should sound the same.

 

Otherwise, tighten or loosen the 5th string to change the pitch until they sound the same.

 

• Repeat for the rest of the strings.

 

Exception: When tuning the 2nd string, use the 4th fret of the 3rd (G) string instead.

多久没有说我爱你 多久没有拥抱你所爱的人

当这个世界 不再那么美好 只有爱可以让他更好

我相信 一切都来得及 别管那些纷纷扰扰

别让不开心的事 停下了脚步

别让遗憾继续 一切都来得及 *

 

Things To Look Out For When Buying A Guitar

 

 

INTONATION: consistency in tune up & down the neck

Ensure guitar is in tune. Play a chord & then play its higher fret version. Both should sound in tune & have the same tones.

 

Example: C chord

 

ACTION: height of strings from fretboard

Play a few notes & chords on different parts of the fretboard. Fingers hurt? Action too high. Buzzing sounds? Action too low. Choose one with low enough action for ease of fretting but zero fret buzz.

 

BODY

Hold the guitar side-on. Check that the body is flat. A bloated body can affect action & intonation.

 

TUNING PEGS

Test the tuning peg for every string. Ensure that they are not overly tight or loose. Loose pegs can cause strings to go out of tune easily & give off rattling sounds.

 

NECK

Hold the guitar side-on. Check that the neck is straight. A bent or warped neck can affect action & intonation.

 

NECK-BODY JUNCTION

Check that there are no hairline cracks at the junction. These cracks may deepen overtime due to string tension causing warp & fracture.

 

APPEARANCE/ FEEL

A guitar’s looks has little correlation to its sound. But having an insta-worthy guitar could encourage you to pick it up more often.

 

Guitars come in slightly different builds. Choose one that feels comfortable in your arms.
