A really good guitar player gets that way from a lot of practice time. Those who stick with it find that they truly love it, and friends and family love to hear them play. The following article will help you with some basic advice about getting started. Use the advice to your advantage!
Learn to play in time. This is essential to playing the guitar like a pro. You may have your fingering down, but you may have slight, almost inaudible pauses when you switch chords. This will greatly affect the sound of your music. Try using a metronome, a person, or a music CD. Start playing slowly and learning how to play fast as you get more comfortable with it.
Let your fingertips build calluses. Playing guitar can be surprisingly painful. Don't worry, though. Just keep at it. Keep practicing regularly until you begin to build up calluses on your fingertips. Once your fingers are tougher and used to playing, you will find that playing the guitar is significantly less painful.
Although you don't need to buy the most expensive guitar you can find, look for one that is well-tuned and easy to play. Borrowing or renting is an option if money is tight for you. Using a good guitar will help you to be sure that you have the tools needed to play the guitar well while you learn.
