Pachelbel Canon in D (fingerstyle guitar)

Cheryl — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 00:10:43 +0000

TAB AVAILABLE, READ ON…I decided that I would learn to play this tune for my daughters wedding. Seeing as she is only 3, I've got plenty of time to practise – which is lucky, for many reasons… Yes, I am staring at the tab while I play; I can't do this one from memory yet. It was arranged by Chief Noda but modified a bit for playability by me. Sheet music available at: http://jaw.iinet.net.au/stuff/tab.html Enjoy, JAW …

wanna start learning acoustic guitar?

Cheryl — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 16:25:49 +0000

how should i go about this, i'm 15.
any tips, advice?

thanks!

Believe it or not, I (and many others) think it is easier to begin on an electric, since the strings are softer and it hurts less at first as you begin to calous up … plus, you can practice quietly without an amp when you need to do so. You can buy an electric guitar with a practice amp cheaper than an acoustic oftentimes.

Either way, just start playing. You can get chords or tabs online and even ways to learn online. Listen to a song you like, and find the tabs or chords online and practice. Be careful with rhythm … ask other guitarists about strumming patterns as you get better, but just do a simple downstroke at first to begin learning … but, watch your rhythm! (Rhythm is very, very important!) Ask a well-trained guitarist about your posture and your wrist, and the way you hold your pick, also.

Have fun!

Learning to play acoustic guitar?

Cheryl — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 16:24:20 +0000

So I have an acoustic guitar laying around the house in perfect condition and I want to learn to play it. I already know how to play the trombone so I can read notes.

Is there a difference between a chord and note on the guitar? For instance the chord g and note g?

Is it hard to get your fingers on the right chord and fret in time to play the note?

When you play a note, do you strum all the strings or is there certain strings you play for a certain note?

The first answerer has said everything correctly. The problem that you are having which gives rise to your questions, is the fact that a trombone is strictly a one note at a time instrument. There is no such thing as a chord (generally thought of as a triad—three notes played simultaneously) on a horn. Also, the trombone is a bass clef instrument, on the guitar you will be dealing also with the treble clef.

So, when you play melodic lines on a guitar ("leads"). you are picking one note at a time. When you are playing "rhythym" (chords) you are playing multiple strings at a time—-and there are many standard fingering formations for that. While the majority of chords are really comprised of three notes, the guitar is such that some of those notes can be doubled, or octaved so that you can play all six strings to make a nice full sounding chord. To use your example, a 6 string G chord, starting at the bass end, would be g,b,d,g,b,g—the top and bottom "g"s being on the third fret of the top and bottom strings. The first "b" being on the second fret, fifth string, and the next three being unfretted (open). Get it?
