What are good “how to play guitar” youtube videos?
What are some good youtube videos that teach you how to play guitar from the beginning? My brother got a guitar for christmas, got frustrated, and hasn’t picked it up since.
So, I want to learn.
I already know treble clef and base clef, because I play piano.
thanks!

Youtube don’t have any advanced ones, but I’m sure that any major library also loans out videos teaching how to play the guitar. I got a few DVDs there..
Else, there’s plenty elsewhere on the internet, through torrents especially.
Hope you’ll find some.. Oh, and PS.. In my opinion, it’s a lot more fun just to play without having someone to tell you what to play.. But that’s only my opinion.. I’m not learning as much as I could have, but it’s way more fun :]
Where can I find some good free Guitar Tab software?
Im just starting out on the guitar and everyone is telling me to learn how to play tabs on the guitar. I have looked at them and can play them a little bit but someone told me that there is software that will help you to learn. Anyone know where I can find it or what it is?
Hello there,
I don’t know about the software, but I can give you some other instructional material.
First here is a link to a video lesson at Youtube. This guy has a series of 12 lessons there. He covers the basics very well. You can learn a lot from him.
Ok so I am self-taught and I have watched a couple vids on using it but I’m not entirely sure how to do the whole finger thing. My wrist just won’t coordinate with my movements. Can someone explain how to play a vibrato? Thank you! ☺
There are two types of finger vibrato. The first one is most commonly done on classical guitars and is done the way you see violin players get vibrato, by strongly rocking your finger back and forth(right/left) in the direction of the neck.This causes that gentle, mellow vibrato that makes violins sound so nice. B.B.King does vibrato that way.
The other way, mostly on electric guitar is a wrist vibrato which causes your fingertip to bend the string up and down in pitch.
It’s not an easy thing to master. It takes a bit of hand and finger strength to get your finger stiff enough to hold still while yourotate your wrist about.
One thing to try that might make it easier for you to get the technique down would be to get lighter gauge strings for your guitar, so it will be easier to perform the string bending maneuver until you get it down, then once are good at it, you can go back to the thicker strings.
This is really important if you are trying it on a steel string acoustic.
They can be a real pain to try to do string bends on. I had a Fender acoustic that was so stiff that it was almost impossible to do a string bend at all, even with lighter strings. I didn’t have that guitar long, believe me!
Other than that, it’ll just take time and practice. I’ve always had tiny fingers, and I’m not real musclebound, so it was a real problem for me to get a good vibrato. I finally have a halfway OK one, but not a good one like Stevie Ray Vaughn had. I made up for it by mastering the gentle use of the tremolo arm on my Stratocaster to get a good vibrato, instead dive bombing with it like the metal guys like to do. (Although, I occasionally like to put a good hard whammy on it like any good rock n roll player !!!)
hope that sheds a little light on the subject for you. It is rather hard to describe exactly how it’s done.

Can a person with no guitar experience play I’m Yours by Jason Mraz?
Basically, I’ve never played guitar before but after hearing the song I’m Yours by Jason Mraz I really wanted to learn how to play it. Is it possible for someone like me to learn it just straight on without any experience? As in, would it take a long time to learn the piece if i didn’t start with the basics or is it an easier piece than most?
It’s extremely hard to pick up gutair in my opinion and the way you learn something is practicing it over and over. So if you saw a tutorial on youtube let me find one here’s one:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGOTyV8tRhs just practice it over and over and you will learn how to play it without having to know gutair.
Question about learning how to play the guitar? (notes and chords)?
I got the guitar for Christmas and I have hardly anytime to play it.
Because I have school, homework and friends that come first. Idk.
I really want to learn how to play it. I learned a couple notes but I pretty much forgot them.. it’s been like a month?
and anyway I was wondering if I could just skip right to learning how to play the chords or should I learn how to play all the notes/strings first?
Francesca,
The answer depends on how frustrated you want to get. If you want to be world class and intend to deliberately practice for 8-10 hours per day, then definitely start learning notes and the hard stuff right off.
If you want to have FUN? then start with the chords. I’ll even lay out the specific technique you can use to be playing songs in no time:
1. First make a short list of your favorite pop/rock (or any genre) songs. Maybe 10.
2. Look up chords for these on the web.
3. Pick out the one with the fewest number of chords
4. Look up those chords and learn how to finger them
5. Play that song every day for a week or two, and you’ll KNOW those chords by heart.
6. Rinse and Repeat
That will get you started and keep you occupied for months.
Just have fun I say - at least to start.

Can you recomend me a video to learn how to play electric guitar?
Could be on youtube or a DVD… and what guitar would you buy to learn?
Hi,
there’s lots of good stuff on www.justinguitar.com for learning to play guitar.
As for what guitar, it really depends on what type of music you are interested in and your budget.
If you like Stratocasters, Squier (owned by Fender) are a reasonable bet with the Affinity series as the starting point for decent quality. If you prefer a Les Paul, then the Epiphone versions (owned by Gibson) are OK. Also you won’t go wrong with anything by Yamaha or Ibanez. Humbucker pickups are best suited to rock whereas single coil pickups give a cleaner sound. Strats use single coils, Les Pauls use humbuckers. If you want maximum versatility, choose a guitar with both types of pickup.
If you can, you should visit a good music store and try a few. You will be surprised how the weight, balance, feel of the neck etc can make a big difference.
Good luck.

Is there anywhere I can find software to help me learn to play guitar? ?
I got an electric guitar for christmas and I really want to learn to play. I have a book, but am looking for more resources to learn how to play. I’m also on a tight budget, so the cheaper the better. Free would be great.
Thanks
Youtube is probably the best place for free lessons.
Just make sure the video uploader knows what he’s doing.
Start with basic things like how to hold your guitar and pick, how to finger the notes, how to do hammerons and pull offs, bends, etc.
You will find thousands of guitar tutorials on youtube.

Where can I find best Hindi Guitar Songs with Video Lessons?
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.
