Here’s another Mini Guitar Lesson by Mike Jones from Killer Guitar Tips.

Great guitar players do not just happen out of thin air. Great guitar players have practiced their art and practiced on a regular basis! But be WARNED… Many people practice the wrong things. They actually practice BAD habits. In order to progress you need to practice the right things. I know this sounds blatantly obvious but many, many people get this wrong. They practice things that they actually like which could be reinforcing their bad habits they have already acquired.

YOU’RE in the minority! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You’re in the select 5% of people who will be practicing the CORRECT methods and techniques that will catapult your guitar playing into hyperspace.

So stay tuned…

Let’s get straight on with this mini guitar lesson…

We will start with a really cool chord progression that’s great to play pentatonic riffs over when you are jamming with a friend, it will make you sound like a great player with no effort whatsoever!

So here it is, it’s real easy… Play one bar of each chord A, G, D, and A. Now keep on playing these chords over and over while your friend makes up a solo using the Am pentatonic scale at the fifth fret!! It sounds great.

Why not swop parts and get your friend to play the chords while you solo over this sequence in Am. Just listen to yourself sounding like a top pro player!

Now now have a progression you know that will fit in at any jam night or venue. You will be able to get up with a friend and sound like a real pro guitarist. It just takes a little practice ideally with your friend.

Another great little progression that goes along with this nicely and is the backbone of many great songs is a 4 bar sequence that repeats itself over and over again and is commonly known as the ‘turnaround’.

Lets take a closer look at this so here goes:

Play the 1st bar G, the second is Em, the 3rd is C and the last is a bar of D.

Play the rhythm of 4 beats to a bar and repeat this turnaround to your hearts content.

Again this is a superb jam sequence. Why not get your friends to jam along to it in the key of G. You play the rhythm and they solo over the top then change around, you solo they play rhythm.

Oh, and dont forget that my full guitar audio/video program is loaded with lots of amazing chord sequences that will allow you to lay down great sounding rhythm guitar that will astound your friends and rock your audience.

In order to become a pro, you need to find out what exactly affects how you play a guitar and find a good source to enhance your ability.

There are a lot of people who want to learn to play guitar, but they either do not have the time for it or they do not know where to look, and in some cases, both. The usefulness of internet for our routine niches is a known fact; therefore, a lot of people assume the fact that just by searching for how do you play a guitar, they will find something that will transform them into an expert guitarist in a matter of days.

But, this is not the case, even though it seems very appealing. Rather than searching for how do you play a guitar and then hoping to find the right source to teach you, you should put in some time and effort into it. Furthermore, you can only find one singular source that uses a range of different approaches to teaching you the art of playing guitar.

As I have tried to explain different sources of learning guitar; now its time to select one of these sources. Hiring a private tutor or joining a class, although is the safest option, but is expensive, and requires a lot of time, as well. So it is time to consider other options; one of such options is getting help from a guitar learning program. This gives you a good platform to assess all the options you have and take a wise decision accordingly.

This misconception is mainly due to the fact that a lot of scam programs are also available in the market, which are totally useless, and doesnt provide any help to their customers, and the question of how do you play a guitar remains unanswered.

A number of reviews can be accessed on the internet; these reviews are basically written by professional guitar players, having a good knowledge, both of the theory and practice. They can also help to answer the question of How do you play a guitar?

It can be educational videos, tutorials, software and lessons, or one comprehensive course that offers all of this in one complete package. So it gets necessary to read reviews on a particular program, before making any decision of purchasing it.

An authentic guitar learning program will always be reliable. It will provide answers to all the important questions that arise in a beginners mind, including how do you play a guitar? An approach that takes the learner in a step-by-step approach is the one that ensures you actually master the art of playing guitar.

Some of the most famous and reliable guitar learning programs usually come with a complete package; offering an opportunity to the beginner to learn all the basics, and advanced level skills, with proper practice.

One of such guitar learning programs comes with a pack of DVDs, books, and online support for extra help. You can easily find an answer to your question of, how do you play a guitar?
