Guitar Lessons Online
When trying to learn to play any instrument, it is not necessary to master the scales as that may be difficult for you. What happens is that the person might become irate and end up hating the instrument you lose patience. The key to this is enjoyment. If the note is not sounding as good as you think it should, let go; and in time it can be mastered subconsciously.
The very first necessary part of learning how to play the guitar is to know its parts. Right-handed players use their right hand for strumming and the left for picking and holding the guitar’s neck. The body of the guitar must sit comfortably on the right thigh as if following the player’s own body. The frets are the pieces of metal that are located along the guitar’s neck. This is where the strings are attached and they are the main source of the instrument’s sound. The strings vibrate when strummed, but only true sound can come out if the strings are pressed on the fret board.
The music that comes out of the guitar is based on the western or modern scale of twelve tones. The scales are actually easy to remember because the letters A to G symbolize them. And like other musical instruments you also have the “natural”, “flat”, and the “sharp.” The tones are read as A, A#, B, B#, C, C#, etc. Believe it or not, music is like math; there is an equivalent sound for every sound wave that travels in the air.
As for the strings, there are six on ordinary guitars but as many as 12 strings on some. If the guitar is resting on the lap, the lowest part of it is placed on top of the thigh. Pressing the frets on the fret board creates different notes. There are many instances when two notes of the same scales may not sound the same because octaves are different.
Tuning the guitar is easy. One can listen to a piano or pitch pipe for matching notes; or for those who have keen ears, all they do is listen to the notes the string create. Press the E string on the fifth fret to tune A. The exact sound of the note can be achieved with the help of turning the string pegs. Except for tuning the G and B strings, the same procedure is done to tune other notes.

12 String Guitar Left Handed Question
Guitar tapping technique question?
I’ve learned all the notes to “Always with me, Always with you” (Joe Satriani); I learned this song by ear. I’ve got the notes down, but I have a question about his technique. I can see that he’s using tapping technique in the middle of the song (1:54), and like I said, I know the notes, but I have a question about tapping. I guess that it applies to tapping in general, not just this particular song:
When tapping… do I use my middle finger or index finger? For example, three triplet notes are: open B string, left hand taps the 9th fret on the B string, right hand taps the 12th fret on the B string. Ok… do I tap with my index or middle finger on my left hand? And the right hand, which finger do I use?
Thanks if you can help me!
i hold the pick between my thumb and first finger and tap with my middle finder. of my picking hand

Guitar Lesson: How To Understand Major Chords
Maybe you know how to play a C-major chord. In this lesson we will take a closer look at the notes in the major chords you use and how you can learn to understand how a guitar chord is constructed.
In order to really understand guitar chords it will be a great help for you to…
1. …know the names of the notes on the guitar fretboard.
2. …understand how a major scale is constructed and played on the guitar.
3. …understand which notes in a scale you need to construct a chord.
Let us take a closer look at the previous points.
We will start by learning the notes in the C-major scale in the first position on your guitar. We will begin with the note C on the fifth string. It can be notated in the following manner:
35
The two numbers tell you which fret to press down and which string to play. 35 means: Press down the third fret on the fifth string. This is the note C and we will now play the scale until we come to the next C note:
35 04 24 34 03 23 02 12
04 means that you should play the open fourth string, that is, playing the string without pressing down a fret. I will now show you the same scale with the note names in brackets before the notes:
(C)35 (D)04 (E)24 (F)34 (G)03 (A)23 (B)02 (C)12
A major chord is constructed by using the first, third and fifth note in the major scale with the same name. This means that a C-major chord consists of the notes C, E and G.
In our C-major scale example above this will result in a chord with the notes:
(C)35 (E)24 (G)03
This is a C-major triad. Acually, a C-major chord can be constructed in many ways. You can combine the notes C, E and G in various ways and it will still be a C-major chord.
Let us go back to the C-major scale and play all the notes you will find in the first position. We will start with the low E-string and go up to the note G on the third fret of the first string:
(E)06 (F)16 (G)36 (A)05 (B)25 (C)35 (D)04 (E)24 (F)34 (G)03 (A)23 (B)02 (C)12 (D)32 (E)01 (F)11 (G)31
In this sequence of the C-major scale we can pick some more notes to add to the triad we made previously. For example we can add the note E or G on the sixth string and the C on the second string and the E or G on the first string.
Here is one example of a C-major chord using the notes in the previous scale:
C: 36 35 24 03 12 01
To make this chord playable you can use your left hand ring finger for the note 36 and your pinkie to play the note 35.
If you knew all the names of the notes on the fretboard you could construct your own C-major chords by just spotting the notes C, E and G and then combining them.
Another way of looking at major chords is to feel how the notes relate to the root of the scale. In the C-major scale we constructed with all the six strings involved you can indicate all C notes with the number 1 as it is the root of the C-major scale.
The same way you can assign the number 3 to all E notes as E is the third note of the C-major scale and the number 5 to all G notes. This way of thinking will help you understand the function of the notes in a chord.
If we use this method on the C-major chord I showed you previously you will have the following sequence of numbers from the sixth to the first string:
C: 5 1 3 5 1 3
This way of thinking about guitar chords will help you understand the numbers attached to chords like C6 and C7 and gradually you will be more aware of how the scale notes in a chord sound and how to spice chords with additional notes. You will also be more and more skilled in the art of putting chords together by ear.
