I know a lot of you are going to say, “Of course I’m playing guitar for fun. That’s why I started in the first place”.
But..
You might find that it’s not turning out to be as much fun as you thought it was going to be.
That may be because you are having to learn a lot of chords, and lot of theory, and you haven’t been able to get down to the base, primal level of pure enjoyment that playing guitar can offer.
But imagine that you could play at a level that gave you the satisfaction that you are looking for. No one is watching… Close your eyes and in your minds eye, play your guitar, just like you want to. Just spend a few seconds and do it now..
If you can close your eyes and do this small amount of practice (in your mind) for a few seconds or even a few minutes a day, you will always have the drive to do some guitar practice and maybe even a little theory, because you know where that relatively small amount of work will take you.
So whether it be trying to get a better sound from your chords, or trying to learn guitar tabs, you can always give yourself the feeling that you will have once you can play guitar.
I guess here are are talking about the two main types of guitar playing.
Playing chords – strumming.
Playing notes – plucking.
Of course, both types of playing are usually required to play in almost any style of music.
If we take rock guitar as a starting point, strumming is usually referred to as rhythm guitar, whereas plucking is a technique that is usually required for lead guitar.
Most people do start out playing chords, and hence play a rhythm guitar style. But you need to be careful here. Keep your eye on your ultimate goal, and if that is to play lead guitar, or some other style that requires picking, whether it be finger picking, or using a guitar pick (plectrum), try to begin working and practicing in that style early on. If you don’t you might end up getting entrenched in the rhythm guitar style, and you may find it more difficult to move over to the picking style.
Playing chords is the fastest way to begin playing guitar. But if your aim is to master the guitar, playing notes, and playing them well is going to be high on your list of priorities.
Either way, if you learn guitar tabs, you can play either type of guitar, in whatever style you want, as most music written for guitar can be found written in guitar tabs.
