Guitar For Beginners – Play The Guitar The Right Way – Never Give Up
We’ve all been there before… at the beginning. We all asked the same questions. For example, what should one learn first? Should we learn guitar chords, guitar scales, or songs?
Play Guitar the Right Way – Mental Challenges That Effect the Beginning Guitarist
As we discovered in part one of this series (Play The Guitar The Right Way-A Message For Beginners), there are many different aspects involved with learning to play the guitar. For the beginning guitarist, many challenges, both physically and mentally, will be encountered and must be overcome and mastered in order to truly progress. It is my personal belief that the challenging mental aspects of learning to play guitar are more difficult to harness than the physical aspects. Think of it this way; If it’s mechanical, it can be learned. With training, discipline, and practice, one can accomplish great things. The mind, however, is a completely different story. The mind is our best friend and sometimes our worst enemy. Program it with positive thoughts and we achieve positive results. Program it with obstacles, and we achieve resistance.

Learn Guitar Quick – The Minor Pentatonic Scale
The name “pentatonic” comes from a couple of Greek words: “penta” – a prefix meaning five and “tonic” – which makes reference to a tone. Thus a pentatonic scale is a scale consisting of only five notes. This is opposed to the full diatonic scales which contain all seven tones of the musical alphabet (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G). The pentatonic minor scale is a very popular scale and is heavily used in blues, classic rock, heavy rock, jazz and other popular genres.

How to Practice Guitar Effectively
An Effective Guitar Practice Schedule
Feel free to practice these things in any order, but always do #1 first, the warm up. You also don’t have to do them all in one sitting either. You can do a few at one practice session, and next time you sit down to practice, you do the other items in the list you didn’t do the first time, etc. Also, feel free to change the number of minutes for each to suit your own needs. Maybe you want to practice for 2 hours; maybe just 30 minutes – it is completely up to you. You can view this schedule as a general blueprint, which you can modify as you like.
