Easier way to learn guitar?

Perhaps, find a book you like more.  Definitely learn the fingerings for chords, and practice changing between them.  Also, learn scales.  Try going up and down the fretboard, using each finger, and switching between strings.  Try different combinations and variations too.  This will increase your agility and stamina.  Keep your middle finger and thumb relatively parallel to one another.  Also, when I first started learning to play the guitar, I found that I began to play better and improve faster when I practiced standing up.  You'll have to use a strap of course.  I know this has worked for friends of mine, but it's definitely not something that is a scientific constant.  Once you become more physically proficient at guitar, the technical aspects should become easier.  Make sure your fingers are getting stronger and more practiced, at the same time you are learning chords, scales, and riffs.  There is no truly easy way, but you can surely make it easier on yourself beforehand.

This is not to insult you, but I tell this to everyone who asks.  Practice more, find a good teacher, and take lessons.  When I taught guitar, I showed students how to practice and good technique.  I used music the student lilke as well.  This alone is worth the time. \n\nBest wishes

Best thing I can reccomend is play an electric, the neck is not as big around so you have an easier reach.  I play the guitar, and it's hard for everyone to get use to stretching your fingers out all crazy.  You just have to start simple with your basic chords, and practice a lot.  I have friends that play great and have small hands, and short fingers.  You just have to work them out!  Good luck!

Do you mean how to play music? You could probably find a beginner's book. There are some that have all the keys and what the names of the lines and spaces are. That's probably the easiest part. The hard part is just playing the music. Usually you can go to a local music store and ask if they have any fake books (a book filled with songs that have been simplified for beginners and are all in one or two different keys) or a beginner's piano book.\nEDIT: The above phrases only help if you know whether the music is in treble or bass, and whether it refers to a line or a space. Even if you remember those, you still need to know the sharps and flats of different keys. Again, your best bet is to get a piano book and/or find a piano teacher.

Learning to play guitar is one of the best things you can ever do. You can play around the first and chicks really dig guys who can play the guitar.\n\nYou can start by taking lessons from an accomplished guitar player, but if you want to give it a shot without the commitment of meeting weekly with the teacher, you can try a course like this, which I've heard some really good things about...\n\nhttp://watersaffl.jamorama.hop.clickbank.net?tid=YAHOOANS

If your talking about AC/DCs Thunderstruck, it's a lot easier than you'd imagine. The riff is based on a one string hammer on/ pull off.\n\nhttp://www.guitaretab.com/a/ac-dc/170.html\n\nBy allowing the "inertia" off the open string to sound out your fretted notes on the same string you can play this kind of riff incredibly fast.\n\nThe real challenge in playing fast comes down to cross-picked riffs, or riffs who's notes constantly change back and forth to different strings. Yakety Axe by Chet Atkins is a good example:\n\nhttp://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/c/chet_atkins/yakety_axe_ver3_tab.htm\n\nThe tab isn't exact but it'll give you an idea of what cross picking is about. The best way to become a fast player is to hone your picking technique and your fingering style. Keep the pick as close to the strings as possible at all times using alternate picking. The tip of the pick should barely touch the strings, it just grazes them (don't dig deep). Your fingering hand should also stay close to the fret board. The less finger movement you use the more efficiently you'll be able to reach your frets. Start by playing simple progression, lets say in the 5th position (A or at the 5th fret) . Play a progression that starts on A on the low E string, and moves up to A on the high E string then reverses back to the A on the low E string (all in the 5th position). Use 2 or 3 notes per string. If you know your minor pentatonic you could base a blues run off of it, but it really doesn't matter what you play (this is only an excersise to increase your fingering and picking dexerity). Just commit it to memory. Start slow picking every note (no hammer ons or pulls offs), then slowly increase your speed until you can't keep up any more. Then start over. Pay close attention to your timing playing in triplets (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3). It's a great exercises and you can do it with countless different runs. It will increase your playing speed if you practice it often. This is just a synopsis of what you need to do. I'd have to write a book if I was to get any more specific.\n \nBelow are some good excersise you could do. They don't span all 6 strings but the concept is the same. \n\nhttp://www.guitartricks.com/freelesson.php?input=M2M1bzVmN2A=\n\nBottom line is: playing fast does not make you a good player. Technique and style come first. Fast playing is no good if it's not coupled with good technique. I've heard plenty of fast players that just don't play well. It's rather unimpressive. Speed and virtuosity are not the same thing.

Hmmm. So many possible ways to accomplish this. Basically, you want to do two things:\n1) Strengthen the muscles in your fingers, hands and forearms all the way up to the elbow. You can do so by lifting weights, squeezing balls, etc.\n2) To move your fingers faster, do repetitive finger exercises such as finding 4 frets together on your guitar and work your fingers to the fret (assigning one finger for one fret) consecutively. When you have increased speed doing that, begin to put a fret in between a finger or two, or go up or down a string. You get the idea. Soon, with practice, you'll start sounding like Eddie Van Halen.

Here's my golden tip for you...\n\n1. Choose a the right guitar for you.\n\nIn your stage, you should have first the unamplified guitar, or that simple guitar. You need not to worry the brand. You need not to buy the costly one. Just make sure that when you press the guitar fret, it's soft for your fingers and the sound is great.\n\n2. Know your favorite song/s\n\nThe best way to learn easily is to play whatever songs that you like. In that way, you can now familiarize the chords/fretting of the songs\n\n3. Do not overpressure yourself\n\nJust keep playing the guitar at the right tempo and timing. Don't try first the plucking. Practice first your strummings..\n\n4. Let your fingers sore!!!\n\nLetting your fingers sore will make it more hard and strong to hold onto the frets. For about a week and a half.\n\n5. I myself didn't had lessons. But not to brag, I can play songs by ear. Just familiarize the chords!! Because guitars is all about chords chords chords!!! But i advice you also to have a guitar teacher(like me)  because they can suggest something to enhance your skills.\n\n6. Honestly speaking, playing the guitar is not all about just playing it.You should learn how to play it with your heart! Just keep playing a song after song. Then after a few weeks, you could memorize the chords the easiest way.!\n\n-If you need song's guitar chords and tablatures. just visit http://www.ultimate-guitar.com and search the song you want to learn.\n\n-If you want to know the chords:\nhttp://www.all-guitar-chords.com/\n\n-If you have questions, just email me (psychoangelo89@yahoo.com). and im happy to answer you.!!\n\nGoodluck on your guitar adventures.!!!!

Don't worry! I've been playing guitar for a year now, and chords take a little while to get used to. You need to get a nice approach... make sure your thumb is anchored low and your fingers are sitting strong on the strings. To stretch your fingers out, do finger warm-ups every day (if you get lessons, your instructor can supply you with some warm ups.) Also, your fingers will strengthen the more you practice... you'll start to notice calluses.\n\nA great way to get used to making a C chord is by switching from C to another chord, and then back to the C chord again. Once you can make a switch, it'll become easier to quickly recreate the C chord. \n\nI'm the same way... I want to move on to bigger things and forget about the basics. Take it slow, because the more time you take on the basics, the better guitarist you will be. Stay with the basics and then move on. If you don't take lessons, I strongly recommend it... it's a lot easier. \n\nIt's not impossible but it does take a LOT of practice, so don't give up!
