I got my first guitar when I was twelve years old and have taught myself how to play over the past few years. Beginning is always a challenge because before anyone can even learn the basics, they have to develop calluses and strengthen their finger muscles in order to be used to the feeling of your fingers on the strings. This is the step where most people just give up, but with my brother’s help, I didn’t. One must first learn the note of each string. Starting at the top in the E and down from there is the A, D, G, B, and finally the little E. There are small bars about an inch apart on the neck of the guitar which are called frets. Each string between each fret makes a specific not. And by combining different notes, one can learn chords. Learning each note and chord can take some time, but there are many tools such as guitar teachers, books, and the Internet that can show you step by step this process. And once it’s completed, being able to put an entire song together is definitely rewarding.
