The
first thing you must learn to do is read chords, scales and notes
so that you can practice the lessons.
Chords
and scales
Chords are initially written in chord charts. These are
simple pictures of the guitar neck with dots which represent the
tips of fingers pressing on the string. You should try to place
the fingers on the guitar as shown in the chord map and then strum
the strings.
Scales
are initially shown in the same way, however with scales you should
play the notes one at a time. By downloading the free month one
multimedia course from the download page
(here) you can here a scale being played which will make this
clearer to understand.
