HOW TO PLAY GUITAR

Step 1: Learn the Names of Guitar Parts


Before you start learning how to play chords, riffs, or anything else, you need to have a basic understanding of your guitar.

If you watch a guitar lessons video on YouTube and they tell you to “place your thumb on the neck behind the fifth fret”, it helps if you
know what those part names refer to.

Learning the names of different parts of your guitar will make it easier to follow along with lessons, so this should be your first step to
learning guitar.

Step 5: Learn Some Easy Open Chords


When you start learning guitar, it’s a good idea to split your practice between two areas: riffs and chords.

Learning how to play riffs will introduce you to techniques such as hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, bends, palm-muting, etc.
All of these techniques are important to learn and practicing riffs is a great way to learn them.

chord.

The other area of guitar to start learning is how to play chords. Chords are a big part of guitar-based music and almost
every style of music will use chords.
