Really rough ridin' hard. I am finding it difficult to get the fingerings correct, have to be so precise.
-
It gets easier. Just keep practicing.
-
The fingertip pain will be bad for a few weeks until the calluses are built up.
-
have you tried guitar hero? probably the best tool I can think of to learn to play real guitar.

It's really easy to learn chords to play along w/ songs and stuff. After that is when it gets rough ridin' hard.
-
What style of guitar are you wanting to learn?
-
Some day I will make a guitar, where every string and fret looks and feels like a guitar hero button. There would be over 120 buttons, but it would be a lot easier and painless. The color coding helps too.
Until then, I will struggle. I thought it would be a lot easier than it is.
Learning on acoustic.

What's really hard probably is singing and playing the guitar. Like, how can someone remember the words to a song and stuff and think about the chords at the same time? Amazing.

You realize Rock Band 3 has this right?

Bought a guitar last year and vowed to get good enough to play live within two years.
Learned how to play (some of) oscar Springsteen's "Atlantic City," then quit soon after.

This. You can teach yourself to be average on a guitar in couple weeks. Is this about chicks? (who are we kidding, of course it is). In that case, you really only need to know like five chords.

stunteds life song would be, on to the next one.
play poker, learn new language,gain weight, play asian pro bball, learn guitar.

Knowing a few chords is not average. If you can't play the blues, you can't bag the chicks.

Start out with chords

If you added up all dudes that play guitar and divided by total number of dudes, you would get 4.7 chords (maybe lower; sounds like this stunted guy is dragging our average down).

X2
learn the 7 basic open chords on standard tuning and just practice switching between them in random orders. once you can do that you should have enough finger strength to move on to bar chords etc...
a lot of people get discouraged though. sometimes it can be halpful to learn songs in order to accomplish short term goals and see near immediate improvement.

This isn't about chicks. I'm not that lame. I'm very passionate about the guitar.

learn the notes, learn to read music, learn the chords, learn a shitty song to make you feel like you've learned something, learn the 12 bar blues, learn to live with being famous.

Learn your chords. Learn your scales. Learn good finger exercises. Then learn simple songs to play along with.

Baptism by ramones
-
Learn the pentatonic scales, and have a buddy learn a few cords, then endless blues jam sessions can ensue.
:gocho:
-
My experience with guitar in the five or six times I've been really rough ridin' serious about learning to be awesome at it,
Step one: Learn some chords, play some songs, feeling pretty good.
Step two: Learn some more complicated junk, tough but i'm getting better, still fun.
Step three: Everything I want to play has power chords, my hands won't play rough ridin' power chords, can't play any cool songs, guitar sucks, I quit.

Definitely learn the chords and how to read music first. Maybe take some piano lessons, too. Learning to play the bass first is always easy. A good bass player is worth his (or her) weight in gold.
More importantly...what kind of guitar do you have?
-

This is the route I took. Learned to play bass so I can play in a band, then using that knowledge, learned guitar so I can play on my own.

learning music is for people who are wsu alums or want to show up on espn when everyone else grabs a beer from the fridge. bass advice is pretty good though.
-
started a similar thread about me wanting to learn guitar. got great advice. then realized if i wanted to hear a guitar being played i could just download a song from a really good guitar player and realized what a dumbass i was.
boom, crock pot.

How long does it take to learn a new song? I haven't played much since the first post. Learning Drive by Incubus, and I can find my way around the main part, but its been slow. Also, I did not bother to learn chords, basics, etc. Naturals don't need that crap.

As a natural, I'm guessing it won't take you long.
-
as a natural, i'm sure it will take you much longer.

Practicing scales will help with your finger memory and timing (if you do them correctly). They are boring, but they help. There are plenty of other string skip exercises that help, but you're probably not ready for that kind of stuff.
-
So I took none of the advice in the thread, and have most of this song down:

Some people just "get it"...I guess I'm one of them. :dunno:

How does this work?
-
Bottom string is the low E, second to bottom is A, Then D, G, B, E. Put your fingers on the fret that it says. So the first one you would play a note with your fingers on the second fret of the low E and A string.
-
Why aren't they in alphabetical order?
-

Works fine until the slur. :dunno:

I'm not sure what the curved line is. Remember, I'm a natural. I just play, make up terms and crap. I still don't know the string names and order :dunno:

i don't know what the curved line is either because its going from one string to the next, sometimes to an open string. I just assume that the curved line is off though and its asking for a hammer-on or pull-off to whatever note is on the same string.
-
the curved lines are weird there.
but yeah, wtf is a slur?
-
Slur in sheet music is a curved line, smooth transition between notes.

I think it's what's called a "hammer on" where you play the 2 note then hammer on the 4 without additional pick.
It also may be finger picking like what you do with acoustic guitar, which I am completely unfamiliar with. But my guess would be what I said above only plucking the open G and E strings while hammering the 4 after plucking the 2. This requires ridiculous skill since you have to pluck with different fingers at the same time. My Dad is the rough ridin' master of it.
But I could be completely wrong.
-
no i know what a hammer on is. You cannot hammer on from open high E to open high E
-
I'm saying the 2 - 4 is a hammer on while you still play the open strings. Not really sure how to do it since I can't finger pick and still not sure if I even know what i'm talking about
-
it would look like this. and if you have more than one finger you can pluck more than one string at a time

don't know what finger picking would have to do with it. if you were plucking the g and e for example, it would make no difference if you plucked the root note of the hammer-on or pull-off or not. can't see much advantage to doing that unless you are doing some tapping or a run.
you also can't hammer on from the 4th fret played on the B to an open on the high E. that was my point before. i think whoever made that tab just fudged it and it should just be a hammer-on or pull-off to the next fret on the same string.

Tab example starts when he hammers on the 22 at :50. I looked at it a for a while, still can't figure out, and it happens a decent amount in the song.
-
Those are hammer ons, not "slurs".

I have no idea what any of you are rough ridin' talking about.

:50 doesn't show anything near the 22nd fret? is that what you were trying to say. you're making it difficult to help you out here.
-
Oh. In the tab, the first chord is a 22 on the bottom two strings. I got it figured out though. Play the 020 chord then shift it to the 040. Same with the others. Though I thought it would be written differently if they wanted it like that. Cool song, looking forward to all the poon I'll get from it.
