Ways To Improve Your Guitar Playing
By: Dave Lloyd
What grooves
you? Why do you want to improve?
Regardless of your intentions - whether to get started playing, learn
a few licks of your favorite tunes, or want to expand your repertoire
to include blues, funk, or rock and roll music, on your way to recording
yourself, there are resources out there that can help you.
Here are a few ideas that may help you better understand your guitar playing
and some solutions you can consider.
Guitar videos
You can purchase guitar playing videos, either for home or computer watching,
that include hand position, strumming technique, rhythm and timing, and
finger exercises that take through various type of songs. Essentially
these become a mirror for you in learning to play as you mimic what you're
watching on screen and then reproduce this on your own. With commitment
and determination, this can be a good one to go - especially for the visual
learner who likes to learn primarily on their own.
Guitar lessons
You can find a community of guitar instructors in your surrounding area
who are either private tutors or work through a community college. You'll
want to consider their expertise, the type of students they work best
with, their flexibility with your schedule, success stories, and of course
their fees, in considering working with them. In pursing guitar lessons,
you can either do one on one or group - both have their plusses and minuses
but either can work for you.
Playing partners
Find someone in your local community who plays. You can do this through
asking the local community college, posting online to a resource like
craigslist, or asking the guitar shop. The idea is to develop a friendship
with someone who is a bit better than you who wants the accountability
of practicing weekly. What you can provide is the commitment to meet up
with them weekly and practice. In return, you can learn from their techniques
or methods what works. Of course, you always need to be aware of learning
bad habits in situations like these, which is why it's important to have
a foundation in guitar technique before starting.
Guitar theory
Related to guitar technique is developing a basis in guitar theory. Chord
patterns, minor and major chord progressions, note scales, and overlap
with piano and percussion instruments can all give you a basic structure
upon which to layer in the knowledge and technique you gain in your guitar
playing.
Playing guitar can be a wonderful expression of one's musical and creative
talent. And with a commitment to constant improvement, it can provide
a lifetime of enjoyment for yourself, friends, and family.
