Remember What It Was First To Like To Hold Down A C Minor? It Seemed Impossible But Got Easier—The Same Thing With Chord Changes.
THE 5 BIGGEST CHALLENGES OF LEARNING THE GUITAR
5
BIGGEST HURDLES
OF
LEARNING THE GUITAR
1. SWITCHING BETWEEN CHORDS
This is the first and most common problem that beginner face while they try to
learn guitar. Initially, they learn to hold down a couple of chords (that take a
substantial amount of time to get used to it), and after a certain period, they
realize that they need to change between those all of the chords.
Solution: Remember what it was first to like to hold down a C minor? It
seemed impossible but got easier—the same thing with chord changes.
2. STRING SKIPPING
Another most common challenge that beginners face is when they have to
pluck two non-adjacent strings, they end up not hitting the correct string.
Solution: All you have to do is practice more the more you practice, the
more your hand gets used to the strings. Once you get used to it, you'll be
able to pluck whatever the string you want, without even have a look on it.
But getting used to that high level of perfection never happened overnight,
you have to practice continuously to achieve that perfection.
3. BARRE CHORDS
More than half of the beginners face this common issue.
Solution: Your hands need to be coordinated in order to play bar cords
correctly. And your hands need to be strong and firm enough while
practising. Once you understand the correct way or right technique of playing
the barre chords, then all you'll need to do is the continuous practice until
they sound right.
4. WHICH SONG TO PRACTICE
this problem commonly arises to those who like to skip between songs,
without really learning them thoroughly. What usually they do is they start
learning with a beginner song and once they found any problem during that
time they jump on another song leaving that first song behind. After some time
what they found is that the new song is harder than the previous one. So they
keep jumping on the next song again and again without getting any learning
during that time. And after some time, they feel that they tried almost every
song but stuck at a point where they don't know what to do next.
Solution: All you can do is keep exploring and try new song every time and
don't give up on learning.
5. No Time for Practice
We live in a world that is growing rapidly and while matching the speed
of a lot of guitar student don't find any time for practice.
Solution: You need to find the online lessons that are short, concise and
to the point in nature. Watching a lesson multiple time will take you
about half an hour approx. You have the facility to print out the tabs
afterwards, and you can practice the techniques without having any
need to watch the video over every time, which means that you can
practice the lessons at any time of the day.
And in every 5 minutes at a time will be beneficial for you. While watching TV,
cooking something in the microwave, having a conversation on the phone or
while you're waiting for someone etc, in short, have your guitar out where
you easily see it, access it, and pick and play it whenever you want.
