    Guitar Guide Presents Basic How to Lessons for Beginners

    The How to Guide for Playing the Guitar – Basic Guitar Lessons for Beginners by Greg Mason is now available, and provides 25 chapters of tips, instructions, lessons, and advice.

    A new guitar playing guide, The How to Guide for Playing the Guitar – Basic Guitar Lessons for Beginners by Greg Mason is now available for anyone wanting to get started with the instrument and learn valuable tips, lessons, and advice. The book assumes the reader has not yet picked up a guitar, and starts off with a series of informative tips on how to choose one to play. Lessons on tuning, holding the guitar, and what to consider when buying one are covered next.

    The next chapter covers the standard guitar notes, giving the reader some knowledge of how to play. Readers then learn about the differences between guitars, while how to properly get one’s fingers ready for playing is discussed in detail, before some insight on getting the most out of practice is provided. The following chapters introduce finger picking, finger positioning for notes, and care and maintenance of the instrument.

    Beginners then get a lesson on changing guitar strings, followed by a synopsis on the different styles of playing. A chapter on changing chords follows, and then the book delves into 7th and 9th chords before providing a full rundown on basic guitar chords for beginners to learn. As the information advances the reader’s knowledge, lessons on barre chords and barre chord finger positions are included.

    As readers gain insight into guitar playing through the lessons and tips in the book, information on playing by ear, reading sheet music, keeping a beat, and learning to play electric guitar are provided. More advanced lessons discuss classical and rhythm guitar playing; some benefits of guitar lessons are touched on to close off this informative guide.
