If you would like to learn how to play guitar, you might be surprised to know that you could actually begin playing in a very short period of time. Although you may not be familiar with all of the intricacies involved in guitar playing, by learning some of the simple steps, you can play some songs that will keep you interested as you continue learning.

One of the first things that you will need to learn is how to tune a guitar. This can be quite simple if you use software programs which play the sound of the individual guitar strings and you adjust your guitar to match those sounds. There are also ways to tune a guitar by holding down the fifth fret of a string, with the exception of the third string in which you hold down the fourth fret and then strum that string along with the one below it. The strings should now match sounds. If tuning by ear seems too time consuming, there are plenty of high quality electronic guitar tuners that you clamp to the headstock and they let you know visually which note the string is currently tuned to.

The next thing that you will need to learn is how to play some basic chords. If you learn three chords, the D, A7 and G chords you would be surprised to discover how many songs you will be able to play using them. As you continue to learn, you will add various strumming patterns as well as learning how to play individual notes.

Learning how to play guitar can be a very enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Just learning a few simple elements can help you to go a long way toward playing more and more songs.
