Learn To Be A Blues Guitarist

By Michelle Smith


There are tons of reasons to learn how to play a guitar. One could want to find ways to relax, add a new creative hobby to their life, or reach out and connect to others in their town or city. When engaging with something as wonderful as music, people can access parts of the brain that might not otherwise be stimulated. Some people may find it to be intimidating to learn a new instrument. However, with a couple simple guidelines, almost anyone can become a wonderful blues guitarist.

Many people don't start playing the guitar because they feel like they are simply unable. In reality, almost everyone is capable of learning to play an instrument. The most important thing when it comes to learning anything is practice and consistency. Try and set aside a small amount of time every day to practice. It doesn't matter if it is fifteen minutes or twenty five minutes, as long as you try to make time as consistently as possible.

You should start by looking around your local music shops for a guitar that you like. There are tons of special deals that you can find online as well. Be sure to buy a high quality instrument that you can afford. Lots of people who start out get a little discouraged because they find their poor quality guitar difficult to play. Generally this is because better quality instruments are easier to strum and have strings that can be easily pressed down.

Many beginners learn by playing simple songs at first and progressing to more difficult ones as they improve. Start by learning to strum a few basic chords, such as G, C, and D. You will be amazed by the number of songs that you will be able to play using these three simple chords.

As you get better, you can start transitioning into other chords as well. Learn all the major chords, as well as the minor ones as well. Then people generally will learn the seventh chords. By using whole chords, minor chords, and seventh chords, you're going to have a wide range of songs you can play.

If you're getting a bit bored at just playing chord progressions, be sure to transition into finger picking too. Lots of beginners may be intimidated, but it isn't really that difficult.. When you start learning how to pick the strings with your fingers, you're going to get a lot better. Your range is going to increase dramatically.

A great way to learn is to study musicians that you like. There are several blues musicians that one can study. Listen to different artists while in the car or even while working in your office. By listening to a wide range of music, you will be training your ear. This will help out immensely as you begin to improve at your instrument.

The most important skill when it comes to becoming a blues guitarist is consistency. Make sure to practice a bit each day. Eventually you're going to be playing all your favorites and impressing friends and family with your new skills. Good luck!
