My boyfriend bought a guitar the other day and we are looking for a book or dvd that will help him learn to play it. Does anyone have any good recommendations?
1. Google “online guitar lessons”
2. Learn to tune.
3. Learn the 7 major chords (A,B,C,D,E,F,G)
4. Make flash cards.
5. Use the flash cards as fast as you can.
6. Learn the 7 minor chords (Am, Bm, Cm, Dm, Em, Fm, Gm)
7. Repeat steps 4,5
8. Learn the 7 7th chords (A7,B7,C7,D7,E7,F7,G7)
9. Repeat steps 4,5
10. Learn barre chords.
11. Repeat steps 4,5
12. Mix all the flash cards together.
13. Use them until you know the chords.
If you do that instead of trying to just learn songs, and you only stick to that for a couple months an hour a day… you’ll play guitar better than most people.
This is the most effective way to learn to play.
