Learn the Circle of Fifths chart....It'll be extremely difficult at first but if your persistent and have a passion for music you should be fine! GOOD LUCK!!!!

I've never played actual bass guitar but I use root, 3rd, 5th, or 7th a lot when I play base line (left hand) on piano / keyboard:\n\nWhen you get better at this, it's time to learn when to throw in 9th, diminished, sustain, etc.

OK! You are talking about intervals here. Not phrases. An octave is the same letter name note repeated at twice the frequency or half the frequency. Play the two E strings on your guitar. They're two octaves apart. Now play the E string with the D string. That's a minor 7th. What you appear to be trying to figure out is hard to tell exactly, but if you play an a MAJOR chord with a minor 7th added above the root, you will have a Major/Minor 7th chord, more commonly called a "7th" chord. Ex - play and E chord at the first position, and pick up the note off the D (4th) string; - that's an E7th. \n    What you REALLY need to do to figure this all out is study reading music.

It means your adding new notes to a chord that are not there. The characteristic of a basic major chord is 1,3,5 which is referring to the intervals in the major scale. To get a minor you flat the third. Type in chord finder when searching for a chord there are tons of websites that show you the chords, however I could not find your A2, D2. If you find out please share info.\n\nOn second thought, while searching for A2 I got A6 and all that was changed to the chord was a major 6th was added. I think the reason why you can't find and A2 is because I think is the same as Aadd9 The 9th and 2nd interval are the same. so add a B to your A major chord. http://www.all-guitar-chords.com/chord_name.php  this site helped me. It tells you what chord you have constructed and can tell you all the different ways you can play them. ( please correct me any one if I am wrong)

You need to play the notes that coincide with the string of the same note and turn tuning peg till same note is played.  It's very hard to explain in writing about tuning and the different wave cycles that are heard between the two notes.  Best bet, purchase a guitar tuner...if it's not an acoustic, that is.  \n\nGo here for a small explanation.  \nhttp://www.guitarsite.com/tuning.htm#how\n\nthis will help if you do not know keyboard layout.\nhttp://www.doremifasoft.com/pikeystmap.html

As a fellow self-taught guitar player.. I understand your dillemma. I taught myself off of tabs and chords.. mainly from Ultimate-Guitar.com or 911tabs.com.\n\nIf you cant find them on those sites then Im sorry.. but I bet you will!\n\nx♥x

you'd probably be best off by finding it on a guitar tabs website and use the chords to figure it out and then improv. that's what I do when I figure out piano stuff. just keep in mind, if you have to read tabs, the top string is e, then b,g,d,a,e, and every fret is one half step. Good luck and have fun

The way I do it is by downloading the "sheet music" from www.mysongbook.com and the program called "Guitar Pro" will display and play the notes, most of these guitar pro files have the parts for vocals, guitar, bass, drum, and keys etc. \nYou can find tons of songs on that site

Hey man, here's what you gotta do first, learn the chords G, C, and D.  That is the building blocks, there are about seven chords that you need to know as a beginner.  They are, G, C, D, F, E, B, and A.  Got to this site for a nice little lesson on your first chords, \nhttp://guitar.about.com/library/weekly/aa071200e.htm

One good way is to follow the bass line and match it up with the chord.  There's a good chance that either the bassline will reflect the root note or be closely related to it.  However, the best way to discover the root note of a chord is to look at what the scale pattern is doing and use your common sense to suss out the progression.  Another thing to look for is a dual relationship by way of 5ths and 4ths to a note or a note and an octave.  In the final anlysis it will become meaningless because once you play with a degree of dexterity and fluidity you will no longer think of the notes theoretically but experience them with a kind of other sense.  For now you probably should pick up a copy of The Mel Bay Chord Book and learn every chord in it. Good luck and keep playing!

Each line is a string on you're guitar.top to bottom...E,B,G,D,A,E. each number is where you fret the string on the neck.  2 would mean two frets up on the line (string) its on. Play on!
