Learning From Beginner Guitar Videos

By Juliette Cruz


Everyone would like to learn how to play an instrument so that they can have a worthwhile hobby that they enjoy. Usually, people would go far the guitar because it is the easiest and most practical musical instrument. A very easy way to learn how to play it without spending on lessons is to watch beginner guitar videos.

The internet is a wonderful source for video clips like these. Youtube and google videos have thousands of tutorials for aspiring guitarists. Do remember though that these kinds of clips can teach only the basics of guitar playing. If one would want to go deeper, then he would probably need some real lessons.

Now a video is obviously better than for learning a special skill than looking at pictures that have captions on them. The reason for this is because watching a tutorial video is like getting a lesson from a real teacher. It is also easier to understand because the person inside the clip will slowly explain each step while showing the audience how it is done.

Usually, a basic guitar tutorial video consists of four parts. The introduction, primary chords, and finally, basic finger plucking, and tuning. So once the learner masters these aspects, then he will be able to learn the rest on his own.

The introduction would be tackling the different parts of the guitar. It is important to know the different parts so that when one wants to inquire guitars, then he will know the terminology. Also, he must know the kinds of strings and the frets on the instrument because each section has its own unique sound when held. So the tutorial will focus more on the theory part of the lesson and will show the beginners what each string sounds like. This will enable them to get a feel on what this instrument will sound like when played.

After that, the next parts would concentrate more on the application of the theories. One will first learn how to play chords, or combinations of notes that make a particular melody when played together. He will learn the major chords, the minor chords, and eventually the power chords which add a heavier feel to the strumming.

When strumming the chords are learned, plucking is next on the list. Learning how to pluck the strings are very important because it adds calm sounds and beautiful melodies to songs. When one is taught how to position and move his fingers, the video would also provide some exercises to help improve finger flexibility.

A short tutorial on tuning, which is usually found at the end of the video, is not actually found in all beginner guitar videos. It can be added in the last part though because some people wonder why their guitars are out of tune. This is probably because the tuning is not suited for the song that they are playing and should be changed so that it will sound good.
