Which Guitar to learn on?

There are three main types of guitar that you will encounter. They are:

Classical Acoustic Acoustic Electric

Chances are that if you have asked someone if you can use their guitar for a while, it would
probably be an old classical acoustic guitar or maybe a steel string acoustic.

These guitars are excellent to learn on because electric guitars require things like leads, amps,
speakers and power. With acoustic guitars you only need a pick.

The other great thing about acoustic guitars is that you can’t turn them up loud. When you are
learning it is probably better to play on a guitar that isn’t going too be loud, only loud enough
so your ears can hear your errors and your good performances.

If you don’t know which types of guitar you want to play on, ask yourself, ‘what kind of music
do I want to play?’

Pick a song that you like for its guitar sound. Listen to the guitar sounds and only the guitar
sounds. Are they clean, soft sounds? Or are they harsh, heavy or distorted? Generally,
acoustic guitars are softer and cleaner. Distorted, heavy sounds come from electric guitars that
are plugged into amplifiers and effects units. Can you hear individual notes being picked or are
the strings being strummed hard? The harder you play, the thicker your strings need to be.
You need to know what style you want to play.

OK you have found a style of music that you like. Try and find out what the band video for that
song is and watch it. There will probably be a section in there where the band is playing. In
this part, look at the guitarist. Is he/she playing on an electric guitar or an acoustic guitar?
What brand is it? What style? If you know the exact guitar from the video, you can ask to play
on it at your local guitar shop to see if it suits you.

People play guitar for many different reasons. You need to understand what it is that you want
to get out of the guitar. To discover your tastes in guitar music, listening to different styles and
genres. Ask musicians at music shops about what kind of guitars different bands use, or ask
them what kind of amps/effects those artists use to get that sound.

The answers don’t have to be exact because they will get you thinking about what you need to
buy to achieve the sound you are after.

For more information on achieving different guitar sounds, see our articles on basic guitar
effects and guitar manufacturers and guitar models.

Guitar Lesson Three - How to Read Guitar Tablature

TAB or tablature is the most common method of writing out music for the guitar. It is different
from classical music notation in that; TAB uses ordinary numbers and keyboard characters as
opposed to standard musical notation which uses symbols. Because of this format, anyone
with a computer can write or read TAB making it the most user friendly way to read and
communicate guitar music. Also TAB relates directly to the fret board of your guitar meaning
that you may easily see where you put your fingers.

In the full version of Jamorama, both standard musical notation and tablature are used. But
for this six day course we will only use TAB. The reason for this is that tablature is very easy
to read and you should have no problems learning TAB in a few short minutes of reading.

TAB has some weak points, the worst of which is that rhythm can’t be easily indicated. This
shouldn’t pose a problem though, as I will indicate the rhythm for each exercise using the
strum indicators that were introduced in lesson one.

OK. To start I want you to look at your guitar and you will clearly see that it has six strings
going from thickest to thinniest. On a TAB diagram, the thinnest string, (or 1st string as its
most commonly called) is at the top - The thickest (or 6th string) is at the bottom. This is
clearly demonstrated in the 1st example below.

The following diagram shows you how tablature relates to the guitar fret board:

Some of you may notice that this guitar seems upside down in relation to how you play.
This is simply the way that guitar music is generally written. Now if you transfer this
same model to a written format you will get TAB, which can be seen below

Exercise:
Note picking is a skill that is used in all types of music. For now, we will use it to familiarize
ourselves with the note names on each string in the first position. Pluck these first string notes
with a downward picking motion. Notice that your fingers should match the fret number when
playing in the first position:

We will leave it there today in terms of guitar theory. Next time I want to get you strumming a
whole lot more, but right now I want to look at something else and that is how to get a ‘that’
sound.

Getting ‘That’ sound – blues/rock guitar solo aka Jimi Hendrix.

Many people around the world love blues, and many people love Jimi Hendrix, infact some
would argue that he is the most influential guitarist to ever grace the planet. Blues/rock

plugging the guitar into the ‘Hi-gain’ input of your amplifier (if you only have one input then
use that one. What you need to do next is to turn up your amp gain to a point where the
sound coming out is slightly distorted (on most amps this would be just after halfway). If your
guitar amp doesn’t distort or overdrive then there are other alternatives, you could purchase
and use a distortion effect pedal.

Ok, the amplifier’s EQ settings??? What do I do with those? Basically I want you to leave all
the ‘EQ’ knobs in the middle (i.e. don’t boost or drop any of them). The bluesy sound really
comes from having selected the neck pick up and by having the amp slightly distorting. Follow
these tips, and I guarantee you that your next blues solo will now actually SOUND like a blues
solo. Get into it! See you in the next newsletter
