Guitar is a musical instrument that belongs to the chordophone family. In a standard guitar, you can find six strings. But, four to eighteen string guitars are also available in the market. The selection of the guitar is up to your interest and budget. There are primarily two types of guitars: the electric guitar and the acoustic guitar.

In an acoustic guitar, the tone is produced by the vibration of the strings. The hollow body then acts as a resonance chamber to amplify the sound. Whereas, in case of the electric guitar, an electronic amplifier attached to it amplifies the vibrations. Both the guitar types are recognized as the primary instruments in rock, jazz, country and many forms of pop music. It can also be played as just a solo instrument.

This instrument attracts the people having a creative and a musical bone. There are basically two ways to learn guitar. One is to learn through a musical institute and other is through online guitar lessons. Both the ways are not much expensive, as it just requires a guitar and the guitarist. Moreover, you need a guitar pick and a chair without arms.

There are many guitar lessons for the beginners. A beginner should start from lesson one. Being a beginner, you should spend at least one week in learning the exercise and songs before moving on. In the first lesson, you will be taught to hold the guitar and the pick. Then your tutor will familiarise you with the parts of a guitar, scale, few chords and some songs.

The second lesson focuses on the exercises to strengthen the fingers in the fretting hand. Once you have learned to control your fingers, the tutor will tell you about some new chords, in order to play more tunes. In the second step, you will be familiarised with the string names.

The third lesson starts with the introduction to the basics of the strumming of the guitar. In this step, you would be introduced with the remaining chords and the blues scale. It is also called as the moving scale. This scale teaches you to play the scale anywhere on the neck. In the fourth lesson, you will be introduced with the power chord. Here, you have to revise the previous lessons, including the strumming lessons.

Next you are introduced to the “barre chord”. Along with this chord, you will be taught about the leads and some more songs. The next lesson mostly includes revision and practice. Here, you are not taught new things, except a few of the chromatic scale patterns.

In the next step, you will be familiarised to the new techniques. Previously, you have used a pick for playing guitar. Now, you will be taught how to use your picking fingers, instead of a pick. With each step, you are now moving towards more complexity. Next step teaches you how to slide and bend the chords. In the next test, you have to pass through the quiz. The quiz includes the composition of more songs. I hope that you have seen for yourself now that if you have an interest in music, the online guitar lessons and musical institutes can help you to become a professional guitarist, without spending a lot of money.
