Tips
- Practice and lots of it.
20 to 30 minutes per day.
- Listen.
Develop your ear for the guitar as you did when learning to speak - by listening.
- Duplicate.
Listen and try to duplicate the sounds and details of what you listened to.
- Socialize.
Find other guitar players to play with and discuss the art of guitar.
- Back Tracks.
Tracks of music without the lead guitar but recorded with the drums, bass, keyboards and all the other instruments present in the original song. Some tracks also have the rhythm guitar while others leave it out to allow you to play rhythm yourself until you get better at playing lead.
- Improvise.
Backing tracks will help you learn to improvise and makes learning fun.
Warnings
- Keept it fun. Don't get discouraged by trying to develop too quickly.
- Do not apply too much pressure on the strings.
- Over practicing can cause blisters on your finger tips and make playing painful. Slowly build your finger pads for long periods of playing by not applying too much pressure on the strings.
