Learn to Play a Musical Instrument
A good place to start is to learn a few chords and a strumming rhythm. There are hundreds of songs that can be accompanied with just three chords - A, D and E for example - and if you like to sing even better! By combining your voice with the guitar chords will help make sense of what you are playing - especially to anyone who is listening in the background. A simple blues or rock rhythm on two strings or power chords played on two strings can enable the beginner to play and sound like a good guitarist in a very short period of time. There are hundreds of guitar lessons on youtube and many online courses that offer good value for money. However, be aware of developing a good technique and hold your hands and the guitar in the correct position. There are many exceptions to the rule, but a good technique and a lesson or two from a private teacher will produce the best results in the shortest period of time. The electric guitar can be played with a plectrum or fingerstyle. If you want to play like Jimmy Hendrix you’ll need to use a plectrum or end up with very sore fingers! If you enjoy Chet Atkins or Mark Knopfler a fingerstyle approach would be best. Some players such as Eric Clapton use both their fingers and a plectrum - a very versatile way to play be needs a lot of practice!
