Below are the two positions most often used by guitarists. Try them both and decide which one feels right for you. Here the guitar rests on the right leg Here the guitar rests on the left - photo 5 Here, the guitar rests on the right leg. Here the guitar rests on the left leg raised up by a guitar foot stool - photo 6 Here, the guitar rests on the left leg, raised up by a guitar foot stool (available at most guitar shops).

Alternatively, you could use a couple of thick books. Identifying the Strings / Tuning The guitar strings are identified either by number or by note name. The 6th string is the thickest, the 1st string is the thinnest. Always remember to check that the guitar is in tune before you start to play - photo 7 Always remember to check that the guitar is in tune before you start to play. You can purchase an electric tuner from your local music shop, or you can tune the guitar to itself using the method described below: Tuning the Guitar to Itself While pressing down on the 6th string 5th fret - photo 8Tuning the Guitar to Itself While pressing down on the 6th string, 5th fret, pluck the string and compare it to the 5th open string. They should sound like the same note.

Once they are tuned in unison, try pressing down on the 5th string, 5th fret, and comparing it with the open 4th string. Repeat for all strings except when comparing the 3rd string to the 2nd. This should be done by pressing down on the 3rd string, 4th fret, while comparing it to the second open string. The Right Hand Before attempting your first song, it is important to get familiar with the strumming patterns for the right hand. Here the right hand is shown with the thumb placed on the 6th string while - photo 9 Here, the right hand is shown with the thumb placed on the 6th string, while the fingers are drawn into the palm. The thumb T plucks the 6th string and the fingers are then extended downward - photo 10 The thumb (T) plucks the 6th string and the fingers are then extended downward across the strings to create the strum (S).

Using the right hand only, try a strumming pattern on the open strings as shown in the tablature below for two 4/4 measures. The six lines represent the guitar strings. The bottom line represents the 6th string and the top line represents the 1st string. In these two measures try alternating the thumb between the 6th and 4th - photo 11 In these two measures, try alternating the thumb between the 6th and 4th strings. Playing a Chord Chords are played by pressing on the strings with the left - photo 12Playing a Chord Chords are played by pressing on the strings with the left hand, then plucking and strumming with the right hand. The D ChordThis is the chord diagram for the D chord The strings 16 are shown vertically - photo 14 This is the chord diagram for the D chord. The D ChordThis is the chord diagram for the D chord The strings 16 are shown vertically - photo 14 This is the chord diagram for the D chord.

The strings 16 are shown vertically while the frets are shown horizontally. The X indicates that the string is not used, and the O indicates that the string is played in its open position. Now try fingering the D chord: Press firmly onto the strings with your fingertips, as shown in the diagram, using the fingers indicated on the black dots. Be sure not to touch any adjacent strings. If not done properly, buzzing and/or muting may occur. Be patient, though, as a lot of practice will be necessary for the development of the muscles in your fingers.

When you are certain you are fingering the chord properly, you may proceed to pluck and strum with your right hand. Use this pattern: Below you will find two measures of guitar tablature in 44 This represents - photo 15 Below you will find two measures of guitar tablature in 4/4. This represents both the fingering of the left hand and the pattern of plucking and strumming of the right hand. There are 6 strings shown. The bottom string corresponds to the 6th (thickest) string of the guitar. The numbers show the frets that are used by the left hand in an alternating bass pattern.

The thumb (T) plucks the open 4th string and the downward strum (S) is on the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st strings. The thumb alternates between the open 4th and open 5th strings.
