Topic: Do I need to know notes? (24 replies, posted in Music Theory)

Honestly, when I started to learning guitar, I didn't know much about notes. It was something like a boring stuff for me. Actually, this is generally not boring. If you have the talence of sound, if you can understand the difference between the two same songs which sing by different people, you may have the "listening talent".

Notes make this difference and your ability better. When you see the note, you can play the same song faster then you imagine. But without the notes, everything would be hard.

Even though you don't need to learn the notes perfectly, you should learn them because they make playing easier default/wink

Re: Learning the guitar (20 replies, posted in Newbie Section)

Patience is one of the most important things on learning. If you don't know anything about playing, you just keep on exercises which seem meaningless. Even though you can't make the real sound, you have to keep working, trying.

The second problem which I realized: motivation.
If you don't have a motivation resource, you can't continue playing. That is some bad. You should watch some easy metods or even good players easy plays. After you watch them carefully, you can have some more motivation. If they do it so easily, why you can't?

Another problem why prople give up learning guitar is hurting pushes on the strings. That is a natural starting! We have nice fingers but they have to have a little pain in order to be used to push the strings. So, don't give up because your fingers hurt. You will see that they won't soon.

Ibanez is a legend!

I have a black Washburn x10 but I gave it to one of my friends. It is some far from me now default/smile I miss it hehe
