Learn How to Read Music Notes
Look – Reading Music Is an important part of being a musician. .. That Said – I can NOT read anything and I love to play… I even made this stuff up in some hobby spare time: – I enjoy making my own music and/or playing along with music I like..
It’s important to learn Scales etc… (like practicing the various musical scales on the guitar .. not necessarily reading music)… and learning music theory (still not necessarily reading notes off the page per se.. but like what works what doesn’t… and where is it fun to break the rules)
In short – it’s a lot more enjoyable when you’re playing stuff that challenges but is rewarding… HAVE FUN WITH IT!
Learn How to Read Music
Learn guitar tab. Not music. You NEVER use music for guitar because theres about a billion different ways to do one single note. Guitar tab has six lines and each ones a string and the numbers on the strings are what fret to play. its SUPERRRR easy
How to Read Music
It’s great that you’re learning to read music but there’s no reason you have to do that exclusively, or first. Remember: music is a language and learning to play guitar is like learning to speak the language. When you were an infant, you learned to talk before you learned to read…correct? In fact, with a very small vocabulary, a child can communicate pretty well. Keeping up the “music as language” analogy, chords are like words. For that reason, I always recommend that beginners start by learning some basic chords. With as few as 3-4 chords, a beginner can strum and sing hundreds of songs. That will keep you enthusiastic about learning.
Once you have some basic chords under your belt, you can move on to scales, music theory, tab and learning to read music. That’s all important stuff, but useless if you give up playing out of boredom.
