How can I make it easier for me to play guitar while standing up?
I find it so much easier to play guitar when I’m sitting down, but when I’m standing it becomes so much harder.
When you sit and play, are you by chance looking at your left hand while you play? If you have been doing that, then you are having difficulty watching your hand when you stand, which is probably why you are struggling. It just takes lots of practice to get used to not watching yourself as you play. Keep at it, you will get there.

I would like to play Indian songs on guitar. What is the best site which list best hindi guitar songs with video lessons to learn these songs.
If you are a beginner the best would be to get a teacher who could get you started with few songs. There are various sites where you can find the chords like indianguitartabs, guitargaga, rhythemraga etc… You can find the videos at youtube but there is only one I know where the chords and video lessons are available together.

Should I learn to play the guitar by learning to read music or should I just learn to play by ear?
I know people that just learned to read the guitar without knowing how to read music, is this a gift or can anyone do this? And, is it beneficial to learn how to play by ear, or should I take the time to read music and understand it?
You will have many more opportunities available if you learn to read music. I know someone who lost out because he couldn’t.

what type of pick do you think is the best to shred and play sweep-picked arpeggios on the electric guitar?
playing with a pick is not my strength, I usually play a nylon stringed guitar with my fingers, I’ve trying to play the electric guitar using a pick but I can’t play shit when I use a hard pick, I think it’s easier to play with a soft pick.
what do u think
I kinda agree with the others, medium to heavy is the best to get good emphasis during a solo.
HOWEVER…..
A few guitarists I’ve played with (pre-Metal days) who did Randy Rhodes type stuff liked the flimsy thin ones for sweep picking.
but it’s really not up to what anybody else thinks.
if you play better with a thin pick then go for it. You can also have different picks for different songs.If you want to play ballsy solos like Ritchie Blackmore or classic rock guitarists go with a medium stiff pick (tremolo picking and stiff notes)
But if you do songs for sweep picking switch to the thin ones.
BTW
I recommend Dunlop Nylon picks. They are indestructible and never get all chewed up like the hard plastic ones do. I’ve broken strings before when the string got caught in a notch in the side of the pick.
I bought 4 Dunlop picks and used the same picks for 10 years until I finally lost them all

i’ve used to play the guitar a few years ago, up to grade 3. i know how to play the actual chords, but when do you actually strike the chords, is it to a beat, or to the rhythm? do you play play it to the time signature, or it just when you want. and can you strike it with your thumb, or a pick…i’m so lost, when i should know this.
Every song must maintain tempo unless a tacet is in place.
Start forming rhythm by playing in four-four time and then in three-four time.
In four-four time, strike the fundamental tone of your chord first, which is beat one. Strum downward and that is beat two. Repeat that procedure once more and you will have played a complete measure in four-four time.
To play in three-quarter time, which is waltz time, strike the fundamental bass note of the chord first. That is beat one. Then, strum down or up twice, making beats two and three.
Speeding up those tempos will eventually increase your ability to play rhythm with your own songs and with others.
I’ve used thumbpicks since I began to play and keep my right-hand fingernails at the right length for fingerstyle playing. I first began playing four-four time by picking the bass tone of the chord with my thumb and then flicking downward with my forefinger to get the remaining chord notes.
That process eventully turned into using all my fingers in rhythm patterns and increasing my ability to play fingerstyle.
Go slow at the beginning and have patience during practice sessions.
