PrefaceThe BasicsPeople learn to play guitar for different reasons, from self-amusement, theamusement of friends, to making a career of it. To a large degree, the goaldetermines the course of study. Someone who wants to strum in front of aGuitar Basicscopyright 2004 Brian Newman All rights reservedBasicscampfire will want to learn some basic chords and rhythms; someone whowants to play in a band will need to learn bar chords and scales.I’ve gathered these concepts and present them in this book to serve as alaunch pad for further study, for whatever goal you may have. This book ismeant as a text for private and group lessons. The main concepts coveredare note reading, chording, fingerpicking and major scales. These basicskills are rudimentary for any style of playing.After completing this book, you should have solid basic skills and a cleareridea as to what style or styles to pursue.The best way to go about learning any instrument is to find a good teacherand develop a consistent practice routine. While this book is not meant tobe a substitute for a good instructor, it is meant to get your feet wet in therealm of musicianship. It is my goal to present these basic concepts in away that encourages the student to learn more.

TuningRelative TuningAssuming that the 6th string is in tune, pressing the 6th stringon the 5th fret produces the pitch A, which is the same pitch asthe next open string, string 5.Pressing the 5th string at the 5th fret produces the pitch D, thesame pitch as the next open string, string 4.The 4th string at the 5th fret produces G,the 3rd string at the 4thfret produces B and the 2nd string at the 5th fret produces E.BBasicsTuning to a PianoVA D GEThe notes of the piano corresponding to the guitar:6 5 4 3 2 1E A D G B EEADGBE6th5th4th3rd2nd1stMiddle CUsing an Electronic TunerElectronic tuners have a small mic forpick up, or may be plugged into.0MIC-50 50INOUTGuitar Basicscopyright 2004 Brian Newman All rights reserved

PositioningBasicsSittingSit comfortably in a chair that allows both feet to rest flat on the floor. (Depending on yoursize and the size of the chair, you may want to elevate your right leg, by using a footstoolor stack of books). The guitar should sit on your right leg with your right arm resting on topof the body of the guitar keeping the neck tilted slightly upwards. Do not support the neckwith your left hand, rather keep the guitar in position with your right arm. Your left handneeds to be free to move about the fretboard. The bottom side of the guitar should rest flaton your leg; not at an angle. Your right forearm should be loose and free, ready to strum.FrettingTo effectively play a note on a string, press your fingertip directly behind the fret,perpendicular to the fretboard. Placing your finger on top of the fret will result in a“muted” sound, placing it too far behind will cause “buzzing”. Touching adjacent stringscan result in either. It is essential, especially when chording, to keep your fingers fromtouching adjacent strings. Practice playing individual notes before trying whole chords.Guitar Basicscopyright 2004 Brian Newman All rights reserved

PositioningFlatpickingHold the pick between your thumb and index finger, with your index finger slightlybent. When strumming, hold the pick lightly, allowing it to glide across the strings.Hold it tighter for plucking single notes.Down strum:Up strum:Guitar Basicscopyright 2004 Brian Newman All rights reservedBasicsStrummingStrumming should be a fluid motion involving your right forearm, wrist, and pick.Let the pick glide across the strings at an angle; note that the tighter you hold the pick,the more it has to flex of its own, resulting in a “bright” tone. Tone can be varied byyour grip on the pick, how you attack the strings and by different shapes and thicknessesof the pick. Buy an assortment and experiment.

How to practice“Remember the direct correlation betweentime spent in practice and ability to play.”Practice is essential to any creative discipline. To make steady progresswith your instrument, consistent, deliberate, regular practice is necessary.The following are some suggestions for maintaining a healthy practice routine:1) Designate a regular time and place to practice –Basicspreferably away from other distractions such as the television or stereo orany other background noise.2) Have a goal –It may be a new scale, exercise, or the first few bars of a new song.Start with a warm-up exercise, then play something familiar. After you’veloosened up to play, begin working toward your goal.3) Reward yourself –Don’t practice for too long without a break. If you begin havingtrouble concentrating, take a few minutes to stretch and get a drink.4) Don’t give up –Skills take time and effort to develop. Practice may seem tedious at times,but diligent, steady progress is the only way to develop solid musicianship.Sample practiceWarm-upFamiliar songLesson5 min.5 min.20 min.Guitar Basicscopyright 2004 Brian Newman All rights reserved

NotationNotes convey pitch and rhythm. Notes are held on a staff. A note towards the topof the staff is higher in pitch than one towards the bottom of the staff. Bar lines separatemeasures, measuring time or rhythm. The time signature tells how much time, or howmany beats are contained in a measure. Most music has 4 beats per measure, with thequarter note equal to 1 beat.PitchBasicsTreble or “G” clef&StavesThe treble clef circles the note GThe notes on the spaces can beremembered by what they spell:F,A,C,Ew&w w wFA CEThe notes on the lines can beremembered by acronyms:Every Good Boy Does Fine orEmpty Garbage Before Dad Flipswww&w wEGuitar Basicscopyright 2004 Brian Newman All rights reservedGBDF

What’s a Chord?A chord is a group of notes played (strummed or plucked) together. The basic kind of chord isthe major triad. As the name implies, triads are made up of three notes – the root, third and fifthnotes of the scale. The root is the note on which the chord is based. For example, the C chord isbased on the note C. The other notes, (3rd and 5th) are derived by counting up from C (Ccounts as one, D two, E three, etc.).C major scale:Chords&cœœœ1stCœœ3rdœœœ5thGEC Major chord& c ww m3w M3C to E Major 3rdE to G minor 3rdAnother way to think of it is: Root, 3rd, 5th. The root note of the major scale followed by the3rd and 5th notes of the scale.Guitar Basicscopyright 2004 Brian Newman All rights reserved

Chord DiagramsDiagrams show fingering positions for chords and are a great visual way to develop a chordvocabulary. In the chord diagram,”R” means the root note of the chord, or the note the chordis named from, and “X” means don’t strum that particular string.D7X X R123An open chord diagram showing fingering, the root onstring 4 and X’s over strings 5 and 6.RootF11234A bar chord diagram showing fingering and the root.Notice the 1st finger layed across the fretboard coveringstrings 1,2 and 6. When moved up the fretboard, thissame shape becomes different chords.Guitar Basicscopyright 2004 Brian Newman All rights reservedChordsBar chords are moveable chord forms that don’t use open strings; instead, the 1st finger actsas a “bar” , played across the fretboard while the other three fingers fret different notes. Thefingering in the diagram below on the first fret is F, when moved to the second fret, F#, onthe third fret G and so on. These are extremely handy once mastered. Bar chords in thisbook are grouped into types one and two, based on the root of strings five and six.

Strumming ChordsTo begin using chords, you must first learn the fingerings, then practice switching between them.Start with some easier chords (such as the ones in the following exercise) and strum slowly, keeping an even tempo. It is important not to strum at a tempo faster than what allows you to switch tothe next chord. Learn to switch between two chords at a time, say Em and Am, then switch betweenothers until you can play through the whole exercise. After you are comfortable with the firstexercise, move to the next one.Exercise 1ChordsExercise 2Guitar Basicscopyright 2004 Brian Newman All rights reserved

Exercise 1Strum downward on each beat:ChordsExercise 2Pluck only the bass note on the first beat, strum on the second beat; bass note on the third beat andstrum on the fourth beat:Exercise 3Play alternating bass notes on beats one and three; strum beats two and four:Guitar Basicscopyright 2004 Brian Newman All rights reserved

Strum PatternsUse these strum patterns to practice new chords; feel free to combine patterns and create your own.The important thing is to count as you play these and play them in time. Note also the down and upstrum markings.1 &c ’12&234’’’’’’’’&23&4&’ ’ ’’ 4&4 ’ ’’’ ’’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’’’’’’2&2’&2& 33’43&4 &’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’1’ ’ ’&’’’’’’4Guitar Basicscopyright 2004 Brian Newman All rights reserved’’’’’’Chords ’’15 ’ ’’ ’ &’14 ’ &’’’’’’’’ ’’’’’’’’ ’’’’’’’’13 ’

Chord Form StudyThese exercises are to get you familiar with the neck. Exercise 1: Beginning with Cmaj7 on the VIIIfret, it is a cycle of fourths all the way down to fret II. Starting again with Bmaj7 on the VII frettakes you back to fret I. Two chords are played in each position, covering all twelve possible chords.After playing through this using major 7 chords, play through it using minor, minor 7, dominant 7,and major chord forms. Exercise 2: This progression is more like you will find in songs. The fretpositions will dictate which chord form to use. Notice that the last two chords are in open position.Exercise 1VIIIIVVICmaj7Fmaj7(form 1)(form 2)B bmaj7E bmaj7A bmaj7IID bmaj7G bmaj7Bmaj7&c ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’5Bmaj7VEmaj7Amaj7IIIDmaj7&’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’Gmaj7ICmaj7’ ’ ’ ’Exercise 2Guitar Basicscopyright 2004 Brian Newman All rights reservedFmaj7B bmaj7’ ’ ’ ’ChordsVII

TabulatureTabulature (or TAB) is a visual way of writing music for guitar and otherstringed instruments. The hoizontal lines represent the strings of the instrument,and the numbers indicate the fret on which it is played. You will most likely seetabulature added underneath standard notation.&cœ œ œ œœ œStrings:1234TAB3056Frets2302

Finger PickingFinger picking is using your right hand fingers to pluck thestrings. Your right hand should be relaxed, resting over thestrings near the back edge of the sound hole, fingers justabove the strings ready to strike. To correctly pluck a stringin free-stroke fashion, engage the string with the tip of yourfinger and let it slide off the end of your nail as you pullyour finger toward the center of your hand. Generally, thethumb plays bass notes and the fingers play some sort ofarpeggio. However, the number of picking patterns isvirtually limitless. Shown here and on the next pages are afew simpler patterns.*Notice the Right Hand finger designationsbelow the notes.œ œ6&8 œ œ œœammiJp iTAB&c00103 œœœœœipTAB103am01i œ0œœœœ03010ipma

C major scaleA scale is a pattern of intervals played in succession. An interval is the distance between two notepitches, for instance, from C to D is an interval of a whole step; from E to F is a half step(there are no half steps between B and C, and E and F). Two half steps equal one whole step. Themajor scale has an interval pattern of “whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step,whole step, half step”.
