9 The reality (truth) of learning guitar: EVERYONE can learn to play guitar it doesn t really take natural talent to be good it s not easy your fingers will hurt just takes TIME & PATIENCE & COMMITMENT ~ 500 hours to become a GOOD player ~ 10,000 hours to become a MASTER
10 The reality (truth) of learning guitar (cont.): PRACTICE = PROGRESS keep a PRACTICE LOG - fill it out every day the guitar DIP. You will want to give up everyone experiences it 90% of beginners experience in first 6 months how will you handle it?
11 The reality (truth) of learning guitar (cont.): the more you play, the better you get it s not the minutes, but the consistency a few minutes every day is better than an hour 1-2x s a week if you like it, play it again. If you don t, don t. keep a 15 Songs I Want To Play LIST surround yourself with music, other players
12 So how do we become good players? you must decide what is good for you don t compare yourself with anyone else only compete against yourself but challenge each other, cheer each other on

15 QUESTIONS?
16 Quick Break Today I will tune your guitar
17 Break Time 10 mins
18 Parts of the Guitar: Acoustic vs. Electric
19 DIRECTIONS along the strings Down REMEMBER Down Up or Across Moving UP means going toward a higher pitch or note. Moving DOWN is going toward a lower pitch or note. Up
20 OPEN Strings - NAMES e Note lower case e is the SKINNY string (high note) 6 th string (fat E ) 1 st string (skinny e )
21 OPEN Strings FRET # s# e Note lower case e is the SKINNY string (high note)
22 Musical Notes C -> D -> E -> F -> G -> A -> B -> (C) (just the WHITE keys on the piano) repeats repeats
23 Musical Notes (cont.) C -> D -> E -> F -> G -> A -> B -> (C) # = sharp b = flat Read this as A sharp -or- B flat repeats repeats
24 NOTES vs. FRETS Each NOTE on the piano (black or white) = 1 FRET on the GUITAR SO if you move from the white D to the black D# key -> move 1 FRET repeats repeats
25 Musical Notes (cont.) Represent this as a CIRCLE C -> D -> E -> F -> G -> A -> B -> (C) repeats G # /A b A # /B b These are the BLACK keys on the piano) F # /G b C # /D b E b /D #
26 Musical Notes (cont.) Up 1 FRET = move 1 NOTE G # /A b A # /B b So what NOTE would be nd fret on A string? F # /G b 2. 4 th fret on low E string? 3. 1 st fret on B string? C # /D b E b /D #
27 How to hold & use a PICK Or you can use your fingers (or just THUMB)!
28 Tuning Your Guitar Tuning Up Clip-On Phone APP Directions: 1. pluck a string so rings.. 2. turn TUNER
29 Tuning Your Guitar Tuning Up LET s DO THIS NOW AS A GROUP Directions: 1. pluck LOW E string so rings.. 2. turn TUNER on headstock 3. always tune UP to the correct note 4. repeat for other strings NOTE: tighten string = increase tension = increase pitch loosen string = less tension = lower pitch
30 Fingers & Numbering System MIDDLE INDEX RING PINKY THUMB T (for RIGHT handed players)
31 Music Notation vs. Tablature Traditional Music Notation aka piano or sheet music what most instruments use Tablature or TAB Simplified method for guitarists Lines represent our 6 strings E on bottom, little e on top # s represent FRET #
32 How To Read TABLATURE ( TAB( TAB ) Play one note after the other Play all at same time means open string, no finger required!
33 Practice: Put finger at 1. Put index finger on A string at 2 nd FRET 2. Put 3 rd finger on big E string at 4 th FRET 3. Put middle finger on D string at 5 th FRET
34 Sample Song using Tablature The Troggs Wild Thing riff Let s s try it together!
35 Sample Song using Tablature Rolling Stones Satisfaction riff Traditional Music Notation Tablature or TAB Let s s try it together!

44 Miscellaneous TAB notation More complicated songs include some/all of these 3 H5 5 P3 <12> 12 hammer ON pull OFF harmonic slide up to
45 Break: Work on songs
46 TAB songs can be difficult!!! SO.. JUST WORK ON THEM A FEW NOTES AT A TIME!!!
47 Intervals If you play.. 1 NOTE = a note 2 NOTES = an INTERVAL
48 Songs with INTERVALS Smoke On The Water
49 Songs using Intervals (cont.) The Troggs Wild Thing riff Using TWO fingers (1 st & 3 rd )
50 Songs using Intervals (cont.) The Troggs Wild Thing riff Using THREE fingers (1 st, 3 rd, & 4 th )
51 Introduction to CHORDS If you play.. 1 NOTE = a note 2 NOTES = an interval 3 or more NOTES = a CHORD
52 Introduction to CHORDS (cont.) Most SHEET MUSIC has LETTERS above the music notation lines. These represent the CHORD to be played for that part of the song.
53 Introduction to CHORDS (cont.) HOW to play these CHORDS is shown in the DIAGRAMS here. They show the strings and where fingers need to be placed to play this CHORD.
54 Introduction to CHORDS (cont.) BAD NEWS: There are literally HUNDREDS of chords, if not more to learn!! GOOD NEWS: You need only 3 to play MOST songs on the radio.
55 How to practice CHORDS TECHNIQUE: 1. Use TIPS of fingers to hold strings down 2. Place fingers close to the fret Traditional Music Notation 3. Thumb should support fingers 4. Place fingers in place one at a time & HOLD 5. Play each string one at a time to ensure every note is clear and rings 6. Strum all strings to hear chord 7. REPEAT steps 4-6
56 Playing SONGS with CHORDS To play songs, must be able to move from one chord to another chord QUICKLY Traditional Music Notation PRACTICE going from Emin -> Gmin -> Amin9 -> Asus2 Strum each chord 1X, the move on to next Strum each chord 2X s, then move on Etc. Use a METRONOME? Let s s try it together!
57 Naming CHORDS The Basics CHORD MAIN NOTE or ROOT NOTE How CHORD is altered or changed. Ex: min = MINOR maj = MAJOR dim = DIMINISHED+ sus = SUSPENDED aug = AUGMENTED others Last # identifies additional note(s) added beyond just basic 3 notes of chord. Ex: 7 = seventh 9 = ninth 11 = eleventh 13 = thirteenth others But this gets us into THEORY, so for now we won t go any deeper
