INTRODUCTION

This book has been designed to make learning to play the guitar extremely simple and easy. We suggest that the best way to approach this and to approach this book is to read it all the way through first. You will pick up a great deal of information quickly. Then restart the book and begin the actual practice. You will find the knowledge gained from the first read will really help when you start again. Also, you will basically know everything about guitar playing after that first read and you will be much more motivated when you restart.

With that, let’s start straight away….

THE PARTS OF THE GUITAR

All guitars, regardless of whether they are acoustic, electric, classical, electric-acoustic, or anything in between, have the same basic parts in common.

The top of the guitar is called the ‘head’ or ‘headstock’. It houses the ‘tuners’, where the guitar strings attach to. This allows us to adjust the tension of the strings and therefore the notes the strings play.

Where the head meets the ‘neck’ of the guitar is the ‘nut’ - a small piece of grooved material that guides the strings.

The neck connects the head to the ‘body’ of the guitar.

The neck also contains the ‘fretboard’, which is where your chord holding hand will spend most of its time.

The actual body of the guitar can vary greatly:

Acoustic and classical guitars are usually hollow with a ‘sound hole’ to project the sound of the strings.

Many electric guitars have a solid body and no sound hole. Instead, they have ‘pick-ups’ under the strings, in various different positions. Pick-ups are essentially small microphones which capture the sound of the ringing strings.

Finally, the strings of the guitar are anchored on the body on a small piece of material called the ‘bridge’.

THE STRINGS AND TUNING

When in standard tuning, each string has a specific note assigned to it.

When we tune a guitar, these are the notes we make sure the strings have so that all our scales and chords play correctly.

In order, from thinnest string (called the1st string sometimes) to thickest string (called the 6th string sometimes), the notes are:

1st string – E

2nd string – B

3rd string – G

4th string – D

5th string – A

6th string – E

This will be illustrated on all our tablature and chord diagrams, as we continue through the book.

And you can use this mnemonic to remember the order: Every Adult Dog Growls, Barks, Eats

Most electronic guitar tuners, and guitar apps, know this order as well and the resonance that the thickness of the string are supposed to have.

That is why it is important to tune a guitar using a proper electronic tuner or app, as it will create a pitch perfect sound very quickly and accurately.

HOLDING THE GUITAR

Now that you understand the parts of the guitar, and the different strings, and have tuned your guitar to the correct notes, it is time to pick it up and become comfortable holding it.

When playing, the thickest string on the guitar should face up towards your head, while the thinnest should face down towards to the floor.

Right-handed people tend to hold down the strings with their left hand and to strum with their right hand.

Left-handed people tend to hold down the strings with their right hand and to strum with their left hand (left handed people have the option of purchasing a left-handed guitar, or borrowing a page from people like Jimi Hendrix, who would string their guitar backwards).

You can either use a guitar strap, or sit down, but make sure the guitar is stable.

Your string-holding-hand should support the neck and your strumming hand should be by the sound hole.

THE FRETBOARD AND THE FRETS

The fretboard is the upper face of the neck.

It contains sections that are divided by frets – which are the small pieces of metal or material that divide the neck into sections.

Fretspaces are the spaces between the frets.

What do these frets and fretspaces do?

Each section represents an area where we place our fingers while playing.

When we hold a string down in a fretspace, a note is sounded. If we hold another fretspace down on the same string, a different note is sounded.

The frets are an easy way for us to identify which notes will sound on the string. Without frets, we would have to just know which area sounded which note.

To further make finding notes easy on the fretboard - frets and fretspaces are referred to by their position on the fretboard.

For instance, the first fret
