Want to play the guitar?
Whether you dream of playing "Lead Guitar" in a heavy metal band, impressing your friends at jam sessions in the garage, or playing Gospel songs at family get together's this site shows you how to play the electric or acoustic guitar.
Have you ever sat around a campfire, singing songs while someone played a guitar and wished you were the one playing the guitar?
Of course there is the electric guitar that you may like to play but as a beginner an acoustic guitar maybe better for you to start with.
There are two basic types of acoustic guitars: the classical and the Dreadnought steel string.
Electric guitars should not be used with this method. If you do not own a guitar yet, your best choice
would be a classical guitar. The classical guitar uses six nylon strings, with the three bass strings being
silver wound. The steel string guitar, as the name implies, is strung with six steel strings. The body of
the steel string guitar is also slightly larger than that of the classical guitar.
It is possible to use a steel string guitar with this method, but in my opinion it would be better for
a beginner to use the classical guitar, since most music presented in this method has been written for
classical guitar.
When you choose a guitar make sure that it feels comfortable, and that there are no buzzing
sounds when you strum the strings. A nice full sound on the high strings is more desirable than a strong
bass string sound.
Here is a small diagram showing the parts of the guitar:
