A learn guitar question that should definitely interest you all this week
Question: I’m learning to play guitar with an acoustic. I learn to play songs by looking up the chords or tabs.
Is learning to play guitar just knowing how to play all the possible chord variations?
Answer: It depends what you mean by "playing" guitar. To me, it’s understanding what you’re doing. Knowing music theory and writing my own material. To someone else, who isn’t an avid guitar player, it might just mean that they want to know a couple songs to impress people. If you stick with it enough, you’ll strive to learn more. You’ll get tired of playing other people’s music, so if you think you’re one of those types, then start learning theory. How chords are made up, arpeggios, scales… etc.

Answer: start with chords to get a feel for the guitar..then do some scales to build up speed and finger strength. then start learning some songs,after that make your own stuff up.
