Welcome!
This is your first step to learning how to play the guitar.
The guitar is a beautiful instrument. It has a long and historic past.
The instrument is timeless and not tied to any genre of music or current popular style.
It is always there like a good trusted friend.

There could not be any end to discussions about the guitar and the many ways to play this instrument.
It has been said that the guitar is one of the hardest instruments to play.
Stringed instruments such as the guitar, the violin, the cello, the bass guitar, seem difficult
because you have to make music by placing your fingers on steel or nylon strings and a wood finger board.
Where do you place your fingers on a guitar to make music?
Place your fingers on a piano's symmetrically organized keyboard and there is a good chance it will sound musical.

Do you have to read music to learn how to play the guitar?
No, you do not have to read music to play the guitar.
In fact, I would say many accomplished guitarists do not read music!
There is a way to to read or interpret guitar sheet music using tablature or "tab" for short. We'll get to that later.
If you're brand new to playing the guitar this is the place to start.
I recommended that you go through them in the order presented, but you can also focus on specific topics that interest you.
I taught myself to play guitar by listening to records. I played Beatle records until I wore them out,
playing little parts of songs until I figured out where to place my fingers on the guitar strings to make chords.
I don’t recommend this.
