Here are some propositions on your learning approach to play the guitar. Get a tool to train your hand. A GripMaster with some callus builder caps are available on Amazon.com. Another way to increase callous growth is to rub on surgical spirit to the fingertips.

The next step is to have your own guitar. You can make a good deal on a guitar on EBay or other auction sites. However, if you are already fairly sincere about learning to play guitar it is probably a good idea to buy a good quality guitar. An appropriate guitar will cost you from $100 to $250. A very fine guitar will cost you upward of $300.

Start with learning the names and functions of the guitar parts, and the way sound is produced. Find an excellent home study course. The internet has numerous sites offering teaching.

How To Learn Guitar Tabs

Learn basic "open chords." These are chords like open C, G, A, and D. Once you learn how to master a small selection of basic chords you will be able to kick out a reasonable rendition of countless numbers of tunes. Become skilled at as many different ways to play a chord as you can. The more flexibility you have in shifting from one chord to another.

Practice. Practice. Practice. Practice makes perfect isn't just some old saying. It's possible to practice periods focusing on diverse parts - tone, smoothness, speed, accuracy. By engaging in separate practice sides of the music independently, you can improve your skills. Practice 5 out 7 days as a minimum for at least half an hour. If you want to learn fast, you must forcefully feed your mind with guitar training.

Practice the chords and hand positions without a sound while watching TV or during conversation with a friend. Over time, look at your fingers less often, however, you still check that you have found the correct position. Press down on the strings just as hard as you would if actually playing, to cultivate calluses on your fingertips. This will hurt in the beginning, and will make your fingers hurt. Once you develop calluses though, the pain you once felt will eventually fade away.

Allow yourself to become frustrated. It's inevitable. It's normal. That chord you've been struggling to voice perfectly for the past week, will in due course, sound clear and distinct.

The greatest way to learn how to play the acoustic guitar is to play tunes, because with a recorded tune you have a frame of reference to compare your playing. And it will help you more and more if you learn how to play the hole song, not just parts of the song. Learn to finger pick. Some songs are fully made for finger picking. The fact is that once you learn it, it feels like clock-work and your fingers will more or less pick automatically.

how to strengthen my weak hand for drumming?

I just started learning to play the drums (all i have is a set of sticks, practice pad and i use an online metronome). My left hand and fingers are a lot weaker than my right and i was wondering if one of those gripmaster things would help me, any suggestions??

Eh, it's not really about your grip strength. To be honest, you want your hands to be relaxed when you play. To strengthen my weak hand I did a couple things.

First, just play more with your left hand. Play 16 hits on left, then 8 hits on your right. Until they feel close to the same, then play the same with both 16/16. And so. You want to concentrate "how" you hit with your left hand. Watch your right and mimic it with your left.

Second, lead with your left hand. LRLRLRLR... LLRRLLRR...I know it seems like the same thing as right hand leading, but you put more tension on your lead hand. It's something like 15% more tension which creates more control. If you want you can get a book like Stick Control by Stone. At first, it seems like the dullest drum book in existence. But after you use those exercises for warm-ups and with a metronome your hands will be gold. Good Luck.
