here's good news... Many people have taught themselves guitar, and you can too! The
truth is that the guitar is one of the easiest instruments to
learn to play... but, of course, you will need to practice. To teach yourself how to play guitar, you will need to search
online for the information you need. One of the most important
information you need is to find a chart of guitar chords. You
can find guitar chords free online, or in any old thrift shop
guitar book. You're next step is to figure out how to play guitar chords. As
a beginner, you don't need to know a lot of different chords to
learn how to play guitar. Here's a free online guitar lesson you
can do right now... Free Online Guitar Lesson - How to Play The G Chord: Step 1 - Look at your left hand and, ignoring your thumb,
number your other fingers 1, 2, 3, and 4, starting with your
index finger and ending with your pinkie. Step 2 - In looking at a chord chart, you will see that
your index finger (number 1) should be placed on the second fret
on the fifth string. Step 3 - Next, your middle finger (number 2) is to be
placed on the third fret of the sixth string. Step 4 - The ring finger (number 3) is to be placed on
the third fret of the first string. Note: The first string is
the highest pitched. Step 5 - Lastly, when all your fingers are correctly in
place, strum the strings. As a beginner learning how to play guitar, you may notice that
when you first learn to play guitar chords, that some of the
strings sound dead. This is caused by several things, most
commonly because you may not be pressing hard enough. Futhermore, for proper chord playing, be sure that your fingers
are placed squarely on each string and avoid touching the middle
three strings with your fingers (they should be left open). If
you are touching the middle strings, you will deaden their
sound. Also, be sure that you are pressing the strings between
the little fret bars, and not right on top of them. With continued practice, you'll soon be fingering the G chord
like a professional guitarist! Once you've mastered the G chord, you'll be ready to learn more
guitar chords. You will find that there are hundreds of guitar
chords that you can learn to play. But for a beginner, you only
need to learn a few chords to play your first song. The G, C, D,
and E minor chords are some of the most useful chords to know
when learning how to play guitar. I hope you have found this free online guitar lesson
teaching you how to play the G chord helpful. Good Luck! About the author:
