LEARN GUITAR FOR BEGINNER

memilih gitar terbaik

Gitar banyak modelnya, tetapi dari semuanya intinya cuma dibagi dalam dua jenis, yaitu model strat dan heles. Model strat contohnya seperti fender, ibanez. Model heles contohnya seperti gibson & telecaster ( bisa dibilang semi heles ). Dari dua model betuk gitar menghasilkan karakter dasar yg beda, model strat karakternya garang & model heles karakternya bulet. Sebelum milih gitar sebaiknya jangan liat dari bentuk fisik gitarnya, tp lebih baik ngerti dulu apa karakter dasar yg nantinya akan dihasilkan. Sebagai contoh gitar PRS, dilihat sekilas bentuknya strat, tp sebenernya kontur body yg cembung mempengaruhi sound yg dihasilkan, makanya PRS karakter dasarnya tetep aja bulet meskipun sedikit garang. Sound gitar yg dihasilkan tergantung dari :

1. Kualitas dan bahan dasar kayu : Alder, basswood, mahogany, maple & rosewood. Itu kualitas standar & bagus untuk gitar.
2. Bahan dasar kayu untuk Neck dan model neck. Bentuk biasa atau neck thru body
3. Fingerboard. Pakai yang rosewood atau maple, rosewood akan menghasilkan sound yang lebih warm dan maple menghasilkan sound yang lebih bright
4. Bentuk & model body
5. Pickups. Banyak modelnya & tiap model karakter soundnya juga beda.
6. Ukuran strings yg dipakai. Ukuran standar 0.10 bagus untuk rock/hard/slowrock/metal etc.
7. Ketebalan pick. Jgn pake yg tipis pengaruhnya di artikulasi power sound gitar. Disarankan pakai pick yg 3 mm stab.

Mungkin yg nomor 7 banyak yang tidak menyadari, tetapi memang begitu kenyataan di lapangan. Be wise untuk memilih gitar, apalagi bakalan dijadikan senjata andalan. Layak dicurigai disaat ke guitar shop liat gitar bagus warna warni, tp hati2 cat ataupun cover yg tebal di body gitar biasanya untuk menutupi kelemahan body gitar, contohnya bahan kayu yg dipakai soalnya sekarang banyak gitar yang dijual bukan yang asli bikinan dari merk tetapi sudah versi bajakan

HOW TO GUITAR tuning

At one point when you're playing guitar and then there are some strings that sound does not sync tone or less comfortable in the hearing. Then you want to tune a guitar, but you do not know how.
Do not be afraid!
I will teach you how to tune a guitar. In essence, the guitar tuning is to equate the tone.
Here's the pattern that you must know.
See the image below
1.

Image 1. fingerboard by pressing the tone in the string 6 at fret 5.

First thing to do is we take a tone that you make reference to even the tone.
If the picture above is the reference to tune my guitar is pressing on the fret 5 string 6. Red dot above is a titk who directed this aktvitas.
Which become the target alignment tone at fret 5 string 6 is the fifth string.
We excerpt the six-string tone and the string 5th fret 5th simultaneously. When the five-string tone yet sound the same with six strings, then the thing to do is turn the tuner string 5 to the voice sounded the same tune with the tone of the strings 6 dipetikan simultaneously.
After sounding the same, we now equate with longer tone strings 5 string 4.
Here's the drawing.
2.

Image 2. Figure fingerboard by pressing the tone in the string 5 at fret 5

Press the guitar strings you like the picture above the red dot.
Same way as above, equating the tone on 5-string with the string 4. If not the same audible tone, try to turn the tuner to keep the same voice.
3.

Image3. Fingerboard by pressing tone at fret 5 on string 4.

Now the target string to string dalah -4 - 3. And how were the same as above. The point is to equalize the tone.
4.

Image 4. Fingerboard by pressing tone at fret 4 string 3.

Targeted to the third string is the string 2. The trick is still the same.
5.

Image 4. Fingerboard by pressing the tone at the second fret fifth string.

The trick is still the same as before.

When the tone has been likened all according to the procedures above. now, let you play one chord, for example, is a chord of A, you listen to this A chord tone, whether there is still one of the strings, whose voice is not bad,
if there is, once again you hear the tone and identify where the sound off-key tone, if you have found the tone, then the tuner to tune played the same again.
Play the other chords again, listen! whether synchronous or not its tone.

So, now you do not need to be confused again when the voice on the guitar tone you uncomfortable.

PENTATONIC SCALES

Acoustic Guitar Lesson!

How To Play Acoustic GuitarLet's learn how to play the acoustic guitar. In this lesson we are going to learn the G, C, and D guitar chords and then put a basic strumming pattern with them. I am going to assume that you have never even held a guitar before so lets start with the basics by learning how to hold an acoustic guitar. Rest your guitar over your right leg, and hold it close to your body with your right arm. Remember to sit up straight and relax. When you place your finger on a fret of the guitar, remember to place that finger very close to the fret. We have supplied you with some diagrams of the chords that you will be learning. Learn how to read chord diagrams here!

Let's move on to the chord shapes. Don't worry about making the chords sound perfect right away. Just focus on getting the shapes down. The strength in your left hand will come with some practice. Try to make sure that you are curving your fingers enough to play on the the very tips of your fingers. This will help the fingers that your are playing with to not mute the surrounding strings.

Our first chord will be a G chord. Put your 3rd finger on the 3rd fret of the low E (6th) string, your 2nd finger on the 2nd fret of the A (5th) string, and your pinky on the 3rd fret of the high E (1st) string. Now take a pick, if you have one, between you thumb and index finger on your right hand and give all six strings a strum. That's your G chord.

To play a C chord you need to put your 3rd finger on the 3rd fret of the A (5th) string, your 2nd finger on the 2nd fret of the D (4th) string, and your 1st finger on the 1st fret of the B (2nd) string. Now strum all of the strings except for the low E (6th) string.

One chord to go. To make your D chord, place your 1st finger on the 2nd fret of the G (3rd) string, your 2nd finger on the 2nd fret of the high E (1st) string, and your 3rd finger on the 3rd fret of the B (2nd) string. Now strum all of the strings except for the low E and A strings. Thats it, all three chords.

Practice these chords until you get the shapes memorized and then try changing from shape to shape. Don't get frustrated if your fingers get sore or tired, thats normal. If you need some time to get the shapes down, take a few days to practice and then come back to this video and put the strumming pattern with the chords.

Now it is time to take the chords we have learned and put a simple strumming pattern with them. We will be using all down strokes for the strumming pattern. Make your G chord and get your pick ready in your right hand. Strum the G chord four times. Switch to your C chord ,and strum that chord four times. Finish off by making your D chord and strumming down four more times. Switching between chords smoothly is probably the hardest part of playing something like this. Try to make your strumming as even as possible, especially when your changing chords. Take it as slow as you need to at first. Don't be in a rush to play fast, just focus on playing clean and evenly.

Knowing these chords, and a few basic strumming patterns, can enable you to play a lot more songs than you realize. Many many songs you hear on the radio are just a few chords with some basic strumming. Take the chords that you have learned in this lesson, experiment and mix them up. Try to come up with your own strumming patterns too.

DO YOU KNOW?

DO YOU KNOW Warm-up before playing guitar, and practicing the melody is extremely important.Heating may sound trivial or simple sounds that are consciously or unconsciously, we will inevitably leave.Surely you think warming is needed and wanted a guitar like a warm-up when exercising?

Yes indeed quite similar but only the fingers - the fingers, wrist, muscle - the muscle arms, shoulders and neck.Why do I say warming is important also in playing the guitar?

Just like sport, when the sport made for warming the muscles - the muscles in our bodies are not rigid, not surprised to receive the exercise and to prevent the risk of muscle injury. This was the same as playing the guitar, because the heating dorsal - we will be more loose and not stiff so quickly adapt fingers - your fingers with a fret - fret.

Heating is very useful for people who are learning to play guitar the first time or beginner because generally the finger - a beginner's fingers stiff.

I often teach guitar and always recommend that people first learned to play guitar to warm up first so that the finger fingers - his fingers are not stiff so it is easy to adapt quickly. And the result of their fingers bisacepat adapt to the exercises that I gave.

So the most important: to warm first?

And why not warm up first.

TIPS FOR CREATING A SONG

Or do you want to give a present for your beloved people but you have no money and interested to give them your own song?

WAIT!!!

Before reading the rest, please answer the questions above!

If your answer is YES, Keep on reading this article till the end, but if your answer is NO so just leave  this article now.

If you are anxious for knowing more with this article . . .

Keep on reading the rest!!!!!

in creating the song, there are some points that can be reference.

Here I'll try to describe them,

First Method

1.       Create the tone of the song at first.

The chords are free or you can create your own chords.

In my experience, I see the score of evaluation in my result of studying, I can see them as my recruits of the chords. 

For instance, the raw of my school score are  A,B,D,C,E.

Create the tones then.

You can choose Rock,  Grunge,  Blues, Melancholic, Malay, or Dangdut.

It's all up to you!

2.       Prepare the theme of the lyric as love, broken heart, cheery, social, etc.

3.       Create the lyric as you chose the theme.

If you don't have idea in creating the lyric you can try my way in solving it.

This is it. .

1.       You can walk around to your favorite places then have a note to any words or sentences that you find all the way you go there that you think it's interesting.

For instance : i'm going to the place which is called as pasar malam, on the way I look the word SWEAT and I write down it. Next, I see the  ROLLERCOASTER while I arrive. For me that is interesting, so I note it. After that I get the title of the lyric, I choose the theme of  love for example, so the title is ROLLERCOASTER’S LOVE. Isn't it easy?

2.       You also can do searching in internet, write down the interesting words.

3.       Take the title from another band or popular singers.

For instance, in my music folder in the computer, I see a song from a singer named CELINE DION with her song BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME. In my mind thi would be very good with the theme that I want to create and I note then.

Do the step 1-3 until the words that you note become a lyric for your song.

Don't have the words very same, get a change or you'll be accused for doing plagiarism.

Be as creative as possible!

4.       After that, just play the tone and the lyric, let it flow as you want it ( because an enjoyable song is the song which is created by heart) until the tone and lyric sound good. 

5.       Be aware of your mood! While your mood isn't good this might be seem difficult.

6.       Record the song that you made in recorder, for example MP3.

7.       Have people to listen your song and ask their comments. This is an evaluation to your song, let people give their score for your song.

Second Method

1.       Get the lyric at first, it can be from a poem, or people's story.

2.       Then have the tone!

The usual tones generally are C G Am Em F C Am G.

3.       Play the tones and sing the lyric in that tones until it sounds good, just follow your heart!

4.       Be aware to your mood.

When you have good mood, do it soon because ideas and imagination will be disappear if you don't use it soon.

5.       Prepare the recorder tool.

Record the song that you made so you can listen to it over and over again and as a reminder while you forget with the song that you made.

6.       Ask people listen to your song then have their opinions to evaluate your song!!

They are the tips that I have in creating a song.

I admit that this article isn't as good as people expect, that's why i'm waiting your comments and critics guys!

This comes from my experiences. . .

Thank you very much!

            At the beginning Yngwie tried to learn piano and trumpet but he couldn't master them. Acoustic guitar which was bought by his mother when he was 5 years old was not touched by him an djust hung on the wall. 

            On September 18 1970, Yngwie saw the special event about the death of Jimi Hendrix. There Yngwie who was 17 years old watched how Jimi Hendrix create  feedback sound of guitar and burn his guitar in front of his spectators. On the day of Jimi Hendrix's death, born Yngwie's playing of guitar.

            Yngwie who was anxious then bought a  cheap Fender Stratocaster, he tyried to play ithe song Deep Purple and spent a lot of time in knowing the secret of the instrument and his own music.  The Yngwie's amazement to Ritchie Blackmore (the guitarist of Deep Purple) which was influenced by classical music and his amazement to his elder sister made him often play the composition Bach, Vivaldi, Beethoven, dan Mozart, gave him idea to combine classical music with rock. Yngwie kept playing all the day even he slept with his guitar.

            When Yngwie was 10 years old, he used his little name from his mother “Malmsteen”, focussed to all his energy and quit of school. In school Yngwie was famous as troublemaker but he was good at English  and art.  His mother awared of his unique talent, then she let Yngwie to stay at home with  a recorder and his guitar.  After watching vionilist Gideon Kremer brought the composition Paganini: 24 Caprices on television, Yngwie at last knew how to combine classical music with his skill and charisma.

Even though he already joined Alcatrazz which showed many great solo in the song   “Kree Nakoorie”, “Jet to Jet,” dan “Hiroshima Mon Amour”, Yngwie still felt that he was too restricted by that band. At the end he thought that solo album was the best solution.

            Yngwie's first solo album: Rising Force (now was known as holly book of rock Neo-Classical music) was susccess in number  60 for Billboard charts instrumental guitar music without commercial aim. This album also won the Grammy nomination for the best rock instrumental.  Afterwards Yngwie was chosen as the best new comer guitarist in magazines and media. Not only as the best guitarist at that year but his album, Rising Force also became the best album at that year.

Because of scare his career would end at that time, he tried hard to follow therapy for getting back his right hand's function.  But after that he got the news that his mother was dead by cancer which spent a lot of money for her medical caring. If Yngwie was another people he might be giving up with bad things happen to him, but he was Yngwie, he changed and back to his music with his burned enthusiasm.

            Then Yngwie released albums that were sold well as Odyssey, Eclipse, Fire & Ice, Seventh Sign, I Can’t Wait, Magnum Opus, Inspiration, Facing the Animal, Alchemy, War To End All Wars and finally he was success made his dream to play with a full orchestra in one of his newest album: Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra in Eb minor, Op. 1 (1998).

            While he released the album Eclipse (1990), Yngwie had the chance to have a tour and a success concert in Indonesia (Jakarta, Solo, & Surabaya). In planning, on July 2001 Yngwie would have a concert back in Indonesia but it was cancelled because the government of United Stantes an dhis wife reminded him of the politic savety in Indonesia.  However, the tickets were sold well in Indonesia, Yngwie's fans  were disappointed. So, when Yngwie will have a concert in Indonesia if politic condition in Indonesia didn't change yet?

            The next album is Attack!! whose hits number one  instrumental Baroque & Roll. In 2003, Yngwie was asked to join in the formation G3 with Joe Satriani and  Steve Vai that released 1 album and 1 video.

PARTS OF ACOUSTICS AND ELECTRIC GUITAR

Before you learn to playing a guitar and the chords, it's so much better for you to know the parts of guitar to make it easier in learning activity from my articles.
If you want to play electric or acoustics guitar, you should know the guitar itself and all of the parts would be explained in this article.
Look at the picture carefully!

The picture above is about the parts of electric guitar.

NOTE
• Tuning Machines: this has the function as a tool to tune up the strings on guitar so it can create the appropriate tones as we want, to tone up it can be helped by the tool or by your instinct (this method can be learnt, learnt, and learnt).
• Headstock: this also can be called as the head of the guitar, is the part whose the function is to hold back the strings and tuning machines, on the tip of the electric guitar's neck.
• Nut: the function is to manage the placing of strings to keep them at their place, on the electric guitar there is a nut which is able to lock the strings for going no where ( called as locking nut).
• Neck: has the function to lie the fretboard, tuners (tuning machines) and headstock.
• Fingerboard (Fingerboard): a wood with metal fret to divide the place of tones.
• Fret: the metal on the Fingerboard to divide the place of tones.
• Strap pin: to hold back the strap of guitar.
• Body: it's the body of the guitar.
• Pickups: the detector of the string's trill and change it fron mechanics energy to the electric energy which has been converted by amplifier become the tones.
• Bridge: it's binding agent of the strings to the body of guitar.
• End pin: to hold in the strap of the guitar.
• Bar/vibrato/tremolo/whammy bar: to adjust the modulation of the string's trill.
There are two kinds, they are: a.bent down tremolo: tremolo which only can descend the tone, and b. updown tremolo (there is no picture yet): tremolo which can ascend or descend the tone.
• Pickup selector switch: switch is a manager of pickups to choose which pickup would be activated to create the variation of sounds that we want.
• Volume control: the button to manage the volume
• Tone control: the manager of the bass strength and treble of guitar's sound.
• Output jack: it's the connector of the guitar to the amplifier or another electronics devices, it's commonly be pluged in with the jack of guitar's cable.
• Strings(senar): strings are made from nylon, steel, nickel to create the tones.

And here is the parts of acoustics guitar!

For acoustics guitar, what you need to know are:
1. tuner dan tuner post
2. nut
3. headstock
4. neck
5. body
6. fingerboard atau fretboard
7. fret
8. string
9. sound hole
10. bridge

The functions of them are same as explained in the note of electric guitar before. However, there are the parts which can't be found in the acoustic guitar, as pick up, whammy bar, volume control dan amply cable connector but there is also the acoustics guitar which has the manager of volume and amply cable connector.

That is the parts of guitar, I hope it can be useful in learning to play the guitar itself.
Last but not the least, please leave me your comments!
Thank you very much. . . . .

LEARN TO PLAYING A GUITAR For Beginners

Playing a guitar is very easy if only you guys have a willing to learn it relaxly but seriously too.  However, for beginners this might be seem rather difficult, just remember the key of learning,  B3SP ( learn relaxed, patiently, seriously, and practice!).

Before starting, guys. .  You need a guitar absolutely, at least you can borrow it from your friend, it's all about the practice not only a theory.

Well, in this article i'll share what I know in learning to play a guitar for beginners.

I begin with the song of Peterpan-Mimpi Yang Sempurna. Why ? Because in generally the songs of Peterpan are easy to be played and if you just studying only the chord without its lyric, i'm sure that it'll take a long time for you to memorize the keys then you'll be bored soon.

Here they are the chords “ Em( E minor ) C G D “

1.                   Chord Em ( E minor )

Chord Em ( E minor ) is on the second fret. Use  middle finger and ring finger.

The position of fingers:

a.                   Middle finger is on the 5^th string.

b.                  Ring finger is on the 4^th string.

Look at this picture!

2.        Chord C

In chord C use  forefinger, middle finger, and ring finger.

The position of fingers:

a.                   Forefinger is on the 2^nd string in first fret.

b.                  Middle finger is on the 4^th string in the second fret.

c.                   Ring finger is on the 5^th string in the third fret.

Check this picture out!

3.         Chord G

For chord G use middle finger, ring finger and little finger.

The position of the fingers :

a.                   Middle finger is in the 2^nd fret on fifth string.

b.                  Ring finger is in the third fret on sixth string.

c.                   Little finger is in the third fret on first string.

Have a look to the picture below!

4.     Chord D

Use   forefinger, middle finger and ring finger for chord D.

The position of fingers :

a.                   Forefinger is on the 3^rd string of second fret.

b.                  Middle finger is on the 1^st string of second fret.

c.                   Ring finger is on the 2^nd string of third fret.

Make it right by looking this picture!

Now, what you have to do is just practice with the song of Peterpan - mimpi yang sempurna.

Here they are the lyric and its chord.

Peterpan – Mimpi yang sempurna

Em                  C                             G             D
