Instruction manual

Learn the guitar. When starting to play an instrument, you must have at least a minimal idea of the main features of its structure and functioning. This knowledge can be useful both when choosing a tool, and when using it. In the classical guitar, the main components are the body, neck and strings. In the structure of the body of the guitar, 4 surfaces can be distinguished: front, back and 2 side. The front and back surfaces in the professional language are called the upper and lower decks, and the side surfaces are shells.

When choosing a guitar, pay special attention to the material from which it is made, since in many respects this determines the sound of the instrument. There are guitars in which the deck, bottom and sides are plywood. This type of tool is notable for its low price, but, unfortunately, it is far from the best quality and is more suitable for the initial stages of training. The following species are partially plywood guitars. In this case, the deck is made of solid spruce or cedar, and the bottom and sides are plywood. This option is an excellent combination of price and quality, since the soundboard from the array allows you to achieve very high sound performance. Guitars made entirely of solid wood can be attributed to the third type of guitars. Their quality depends on the type of wood and the class of the guitar master, but in any case, it is with this instrument that the professional playing of the classical guitar begins.

When the difficult task of choosing a guitar is solved, the instrument itself is tuned and, it would seem, all the necessary conditions have been taken into account, proceed directly to the game itself. But you should not rush here, since even the most insignificant moments in the future can affect the success in training. Before you start learning chords, you should figure out how to properly hold a guitar. The beauty of the sound of the instrument to a large extent depends on the correct fit and position of the hands of the guitarist. There is a so-called classic landing, in which the guitar body lies on the left foot of the performer and rests on the right foot. When playing the guitar, only the right hand holds, and the left is involved exclusively in working with strings.

Engage in the theoretical part of the training. There are a large number of publications devoted to the independent study of the guitar. Such a wide selection allows everyone to choose the most suitable option for him. Also on the Internet you can find a lot of training videos. If you are not sure that it will be possible to master this instrument on your own, then you can turn to the appropriate schools or communities for help, where basic courses on teaching the guitar are provided. But regardless of the chosen method of training, the most important success factor is desire and enormous patience. Daily lessons, perseverance and determination - this is the key to future success.
