When you're deciding to learn by your own, this doesn't imply that you have to be carefree. Rather you yourself have to be your Tutor by involving into the Guitar training dedicatedly. Until & unless you're not giving your maximum efforts to the practice please don't expect any useful result at the end. Following are the things to consider before starting a self-training.
- Specialization- Strumming or Leading?: Basically there're two main categories of guitarring. So you've to decide which one you prefer to play or in which are you comfortable.
Strumming- The term arises from an action commonly used to play string instruments, which may be "struck"/"stroked", ie, plucked or strummed, by brushing one's fingers over, or strumming, the strings. In this, either all or four of the strings are used. A strumming pattern or strum is a preset pattern used by a rhythm guitar. Compare with pattern picking, strumming patterns may be indicated through notation, tablature, up and down arrows, or slashes. Where all or four of the strings are used to create a strumming pattern using different notes.
Leading/Lead Guitarring- Lead guitarring is a guitar part which plays melody lines, instrumental fill passages, and guitar solos within a song structure. The lead is the featured guitar, which usually plays single-note-based lines or double-stops. In rock, heavy metal, blues, jazz, punk, fusion, some pop, and other music styles, lead guitar lines are usually supported by a second guitarist who plays rhythm guitar, which consists of accompaniment chords and riffs, often played with a distortion effect. Comparatively, strumming is easier than Leading, since strumming will depend upon the chords which are fixed till some of the finger positions, so you have follow those positions to play a strumming chord. On the other hand Leading needs more & more practice by memorizing whole of the notes in the Guitar neck & you've to make yourself accustomed to each of the notes in it. - Regular practice: The ultimate success in Guitar or any other musical instrument depends upon how much you dedicate yourself in practicing it. The more time you spend with the instrument, the more your fingers will get accustomed to the strings. You can take, say, every morning 1-2 hours regularly to spend a quality time practicing. You can either do it alone or can take a partner to company you in the task. In that case you can share your thoughts or doubts with each other. Just remember, the two aspects, Guitar as an interest & Guitar as a passion differs a lot with each other. So do it properly, do it dedicatedly & without any disturbance.
