How to play first song on guitar

Playing first song on guitar is unforgettable event for any guitar beginner and guitar lover. Like everyone remembers first kiss, every guitar player remembers first song played on guitar. That memory is much more pleasant and memorable if the first song was one of guitar classics instead of "Twinkle, twinkle, little star". It may be little more challenging to choose "Comfortably Numb" as first song, but sense of achievement and happiness will be much bigger with the song which moves blood in your body.

Certain aspects of guitar playing have to be mastered before attempting to play first song. Reading music using tablature has to be learned as well as basic chords playing. Of course, nothing can happen without actual guitar, either acoustic or electric. Acoustic guitar cost less and it is easier to learn for beginners.

Since you want to play one of your favorite song, I am sure you know melody and words by heart, so that will not be the issue.

The good start is to locate tablature for favorite song if you already didn't get them. Finding tablature is simple task, just go to google.com and search for "favorite song tablature". For example, if I want to find out tablature for "Comfortably Numb, I would type "comfortably numb tablature" in Google. And I would get back over 50 000 results.

Once you got favorite song tab, read it first to make sure you know all chords in there. If you don't, you know what has to be done.

When you are sure you know all chords in favorite song tab, start playing song little by little. It is much easier to practice little parts of song then whole song. When you master first pat, only and only then, start practicing second part. Patience is very important, and don't skip parts, since you want to be able to play song as one whole, not to look for notes in the middle of the song.

When you finish practicing whole song, then you are ready for grand finale, your first solo song.

As a precaution, double check if your guitar is tuned properly, otherwise David Gilmour will not be able to play on it with proper sound. If you still didn't learn how to tune it by ear, or you don't have electrical tuner, just search Google for "online guitar tuner" and you will get quite few sites with online tuner which can help you tune your guitar properly.

And go, start playing your first song, what accomplishment, congratulations. You made it.

By the way, make sure that you have a fun all the time. What is point in playing guitar if it is not fun?

And keep practicing, even 15 minutes per day. It will make huge difference in time. Practice makes it perfect.
