Cheap and portable, the guitar is the most popular musical instrument around. It provides the perfect accompaniment for a singer and is also used to shred in a metal band. Unfortunately, there are more people who express a desire to play than those who actually can. Many people say, “Oh, I’d love Artists Psychology - Here's an interesting exclusive article Roland d’Humières, 56 years old psycho-analyst from Aix en Provence (France) has written for our Weblog. I think it to be a very interesting writing about the artists psychology, or maybe "arts psychology", what's behind an artists mind. Artists Psychology Whatever is his/her Art, painting, music, dance, writing, or any… to play,” but they never do. While there is no substitute for practice time, there are some tips to keep in mind Self-realization and meditation (yoga for the mind) - Peter Cajander allowed us to publish this part from his book Fragments of Reality. It talks about life from a personal perspective covering areas ranging from self-realization, meditation, stress, happiness, death, and everyday living. Peter is a writer, philosophical thinker, entrepreneur, strategy consultant, business executive, and author to name a few titles. He has been… to get you started.

Utilize the internet. There are abundant resources available online to get you started, even if it means sifting through a few bad or unhelpful sources. The first thing you should do is learn how to read tablature, which is the simplest way music is written for the guitar. It is easy to understand, based on logic rather than musical esotericism. Learning tab will unlock the ability to play melodies, but chords may not be indicated this way. Learn to read chord charts. The same logical principles behind tablature also apply to chord charts. Dots on specific strings and frets indicate where to place your fingers. Understand which lines represent the six strings and learn to recognize the frets, and this should be straightforward.

Producing a musical sound can be a different matter. It can be challenging to achieve a clear and sustained note, and often there may be a slight buzz or unclear sound. This is natural and happens to everyone at first. Make sure to press down on the string with the tips of your fingers, not the flat part that is visible when you look at your open palm. This is crucial. Additionally, ensure that you press down close to the fret, but no part of your finger should touch any part of the fret. It is also common for the finger you are using to accidentally touch another string. This is clearly not ideal.

The most important thing to remember is that your fingers will adapt and change over time as you continue to play the instrument. They will become stronger, more flexible, and more independent. Beginners often say things like, “It’s impossible for me to move my fingers that way.” In a sense, they are right because their fingers are not yet accustomed to it, but with time, it becomes very possible. It usually takes less time than they think.

Regular practice is crucial. The initial stages of learning an instrument like the guitar are often marked by what is called “light cacophony,” but remember that the sound will improve. Practice regardless of how bad it may sound at first, and soon you will be practicing because you enjoy the sound. Additionally, progress is often slow, and you may not even notice it yourself. But if you track how far you have come, it will motivate you. One day, it will hit you: “Wow, I remember when I couldn’t do this, and now it’s so easy,” even though before that realization, you may feel like you haven’t improved.
