Revolves

Many people who start learning guitar with great enthusiasm give up within a few months. Why? They can’t play like their favourite rock star. The primary problem is expecting extraordinary results without putting any effort.

Anyways, there are a few things in the beginning of guitar learning that takes a bit of patience.

Most of the people start by learning chords. The basic chords like D, C, G, E etc. They do find difficulty in making the chords sound right, each time, everytime. Sometimes a string gets accidently muted, or another string rings.

However, the primary goal is to properly form the chord with your fingers fast. This takes a little effort, but an average beginner still proceeds.

Now comes the dreaded part. Chord switching. Initially, the fingers are so out of sync that trying to change chords “fast” might make your head spin. The key is to practice the movement slowly. “But, who will waste one week practicing a simple chord change, that won’t allow me to play my favourite song right away?”, a novice thinks.

This is where practically a lot of people give up. “It’s taking a lot of time”, “I can’t do it”, they proclaim. But those who carry on forward are the ones who become good guitar players.

If you’re stuck, and think you won’t make progress, don’t give up! Just continue. It might even take you a week to get a single chord right. But that’s just the start. Once you catch on momentum, everything will flow. Success comes to those who don’t give up!
