Beginner Guitar Lessons [7 Songs]

(Nov 2nd 2024) Learn the basics and play some songs for your friends

Introduction

Midi players are cool and all but wouldn't it be cool how to play the guitar manually? It's surprisingly similar to playing an actual guitar and just as rewarding. Webfishing has a robust guitar player that lets you play anything you can think of and will only improve as time goes on.

yk these might be a lot for a beginner but i promise they get easier if u keep at it, just like any skill youll improve and find your own way of doing it. maybe this way of strumming isnt for everyone but its working for me.

ive actually found myself referring back to sections while writing this and the notation is working, it looks a little silly with nothing but qwerty but being able to sightread it is important for me.

pardon the rough layout of the images, i'm still figuring out how to display them properly and whether ill need to create a template in photoshop 💀

How to read the sheets

I'll be using qwerty to pick out strings and the mouse to switch between my saved chord shapes. This guide uses a unique notation system based off virtual piano's[virtualpiano.net]. I'm still figuring out the best way to present the info, but this seems to do the job for now.

• Play chords in brackets together [qwerty]
  
• Quickly play chords in sequence if parenthesis (qwerty)
  
• Switch to the specified chord shape as indicated by the arrows 1 q ->2 w ->3 e

Each song starts with the notes you'll play and pictures of the chord shapes underneath. You can only do so much with the nine slots the game provides so you may have to overwrite your current shapes or figure out a way of accommodating them.

quickly strum the larger groups like [wer] and [wert] rather than pushing them all down at once
