I CANT READ MUSIC i dont know how to play guitar at all or any other instruments. just tell me what i need to know to start playing the guitar. everythng please thanks.
well, i learned by tabs. Tabs are like an outline of the fretboard, which is the long thing connecting the body of the guitar to wooden part that has the 6 twisty things on top, which are called tuning pegs, and that wooden or sometimes metal i think is called the headstock. the fretboard has frets, which are the 22-24 metal like sticks. the 3 5 7 9 12 15 17 19 21 frets all have a commonly have a dot on them, which are called inlays.
anyways these are tabs:
Example:happy birthday
E–0–0–2–0–5–4–
B——————–
G——————–
D——————–
A——————–
E——————–
E–0–0–2–0–7–5–
B——————–
G——————–
D——————–
A——————–
E——————–
E–0–0–9–5–4–4–2–
B———————–
G———————–
D———————–
A———————–
E———————–
E–10–10–9–5–7–5–
B———————-
G———————-
D———————-
A———————-
E———————-
Those letters to the side are the strings in standard tuning. E is the 6th string, which is the thickest one and the other A is the 5th string which is the second to thickest and on and on until you get to the other E, which is small e and the 1st string and thinnest one.
To learn how to play this tab, you only need to use the 1st string, or small e. The 0 means strum the sting with out touching any frets. The two means put your finger on the second fret on the 1st string and strum. now do this to all the indicated frets/
