Learn Guitar Tabs

Technorati Tags: learn guitar tabs, Play Guitar, Playing Guitar

I want to start to learn guitar for a second hobby because i love to listen to music. Is there a website online that is free or any free tutorials online? I have been thinking about this for a few days and i really want to start useing a guitar.

I’ve learned how to play guitar just by song choice. I use ultimate guitar tabs online because it’s free and easy. YouTube guitar tutorials are also very helpful! You could also look at local music shops for lessons.

make sur its a good song\ alternative

The best thing to learn is as many songs as you can.

I am trying to record using Amplitube 3… i plug in my guitar direct to the PC’s input using an audio adapter but the hissing sound and the latency is not tolerable… can anyone advise me?

If you ask me, the best way for you to remove the latency and the hissing sound is to upgrade your sound card. The input coming from your guitar is too hot and the normal sound card of a PC will not be able to handle it. An external audio device interface such as Behringer UCG 102 or Alesis Guitar link is a good starting point. If you have more funds, try going for the M-Audio Fast Track and see better results. Good luck!

Does anyone know any good guitar songs I could learn(TABS) I enjoy playing rock songs with good riffs, you know… help please!!!

muse hysteria. I love that riiff. Also plug in baby. Lets not forget falling away. Well, im biased, cause i love muse

I just started learning how to play guitar a couple days ago, and I was just curious as to if you must learn guitar strumming before you consider picking, as I’ve heard it’s a real bitch to learn. This true?

Think almost being a banjo player and you’ve got much of it down.

That is what has developed many a finger style player and given the guitar such versatility and expression. Start with forefinger and thumb to draw the strings towards you, add the middle and next think of each as an individual ‘pick’ to learn to get a pattern.

Pattern meaning, each finger follows the other in line, dedicated to the same string to same finger. Then comes tempo or sequence of which the speed and even ‘cross-picking’ (alternating) within the pattern is learned. All according to the piece of music or ’score’ melody is to be presented.

(The thumb usually carries (alternates) the two bass strings during such rhythmic play. And, use the pinky for upper register accents and additional chord pattern notation with the left hand.)

You can get books on the techniques as well as DVDs that can provide performers and their particular styles and how it is done. All this short of serious instruction from a teacher.

Chet Atkins learned by listening to Merle Travis on the radio, Tommy Emmanuel learned from Chet Atkins recordings, Doyle Dykes learned more when playing back up with Chet Atkins.

Listen to the music and learn more. I listened to Chet Atkins and Peter*, Paul and Mary records too.

I play exactly like *Peter Yarrow. Folk guitarist.

I know the hollow body of the 335 generally gives it a warmer tone.. but the low end is near in-audible..

are there any tweaks i can make with pickup height, string gauge etc that will help?
(Ive done amp settings, makes it a little better, but i think the issue is the guitar now)

Cheers

Thicker gauge strings will accentuate the bass. Thinner strings will have less boom. As far as settings, obviously the bridge pickup has more twang than the neck pickup. The closer the pickup is to the strings, the stronger signal it will produce. If you want more or less bass response, move that side of the pickup up or down accordingly. You can also move the individual pole screws on the pickup in or out. Take care not to adjust the pickup too close…the magnetic field of the pickup can damp the sustain of the string. When you press the strings on the highest frets, the closest distance should be the thickness of a coin.

If that doesn’t do it for you, you could always consider a phase/polarity switch.

Nice guitar BTW

it’s a PLEK machine. I am not surprised you idiots had no CLUE.

PLEK, and F you too!

I’ve been able to read sheet music for a long time and I want to learn guitar. I currently have no guitar but I have a decent keyboard. Is there somewhere that can teach me how to read tabs without actually having a guitar and help me learn to convert sheet music to tabs? Thanks!

If you already read sheet music forget about tabs. Get a guitar and learn to play from sheet music.

I’m planning to learn guitar at home, since i’m in highschool now and I have basketball lessons, swimming lessons and others and I don’t have that much time to have guitar lessons.
If I was to learn at home, what would i need? I want to learn the electric guitar btw.
If I need books, am I looking for any books in particular? Please help me
