[QUOTE="stevevw, post: 69296933, member: 342064"] Thats good you want to learn a musical instrument. All I can say is learn about 5 basic chords to start with (G,D,C,E,A). F is a good chord but a little harder to begin with and B is a little harder again. But not too difficult to get after some practice. Then you have all the major chords. You wouldn't believe how many songs just use those and even maybe 3 or 4 of those chords. It just takes repetition to get the positioning of your fingers and the fluency for the chord changes. But pretty soon you can hear the melody of 3 or 4 chords being put together. You can then play songs with those chords and then you are making music. Many other chords like minors come off the major chords so its just a case of removing one finger or adding one to get a host of other chords. But just getting the majors is best at first. When I was young my mum sent me to music lessons. The teacher was teaching me all this music theory and I hardly picked up the guitar so I gave up. When I got older I just learnt a few chords and I was away. Don't need to learn music as its all about finger positioning on the guitar neck. Most music has a little guitar neck picture to show you. This also allowed my to make my own melodies which turned into my own songs which I though was great as I was creating the music. Music can be a great vehicle for people to express themselves. I communicates feelings and stories and has a great impact on people. It does take some discipline but if you love music you will give it a go and soon you will learn. [/QUOTE]
