Just bought a guitar, any hints on learning to play. Had the V last Sept and then 5 strokes so I want to keep my hands moving
Great way to get your fingers moving is to play some scales up and down the fretboard. Within those scales, play combinations if notes in them in different orders and you'll be making some good sounding stuff.
Thank you
NP. Chords are just multiple notes of the same scale played together, so if anything practice basic open chords and transitioning between them, and fiddle on the scales between rhythm.
Remember major is generally happy, and minor is generally somber/sad.
So maybe strum between a minor and e minor or G and C, getting your fingers to quickly and fluently transition between chords takes practice but can be fun with some scale fiddling between. Start with maybe the notes on a scale on the top two strings, different combinations of the same few notes, and then add another string at a time
Have fun with it :)
Soak your fingers tips in epsom salt water, start with soft strings, learn chords and chord progressions, then start chord chunking.
