No master has yet fallen from the sky - this credo probably applies in most areas of life and learning a new instrument is of course no exception.

Errors are part of learning the guitar play . However, there are also classic beginner errors that newbies can avoid if they know them. The following article shows which these are.

The wrong attitude

Purpose errors are definitely the most common and grossest mistakes that can be observed in beginners. There are certain established rules for the attitude that beginners should definitely acquire, otherwise the technical possibilities are significantly restricted and the full potential cannot be exploited.

Often the errors in the attitude also lead to frustration. There is also a risk if the false attitude is often played that chronic tension and tendonal inflammation occur.

Too high learning pace and exaggerated expectations

Especially in the early days, many prospective guitarists notice that they get progress quickly by practicing and make significant progress if they only stay on the ball. Due to the motivation boost, many beginners try too quickly on difficult songs and riffs.

Of course, it is important to always test your own limits, but the time that is lost, if too difficult pieces are tried to play, is better used for other purposes and learned a simpler piece.

Chordify can be found an extensive selection of Chords Guitar .

Just be there half -heartedly

Many musicians who have been playing the guitar still feel that they can not reproduce a song correctly from start to finish. This is a sign that they are only half -hearted in the requirements.

It is therefore advisable to acquire a certain perfectionism at an early stage and to learn completely every new song before the next one is tackled.

Neglect of the rhythm

People who master their guitar perfectly can play the instrument as clean as possible. The rhythm is absolutely crucial in terms of music and cleanliness.

Therefore, from the start, the rhythm of a guitar riff should enjoy the highest priority. Although this can sometimes be associated with a little effort and effort, it is quite worthwhile, since the difference between first and only second-class guitarists becomes clear.

Perfectism show

It is completely normal for any songs to be played after the first guitar lesson. It is therefore very important that a beginner can realistically assess which songs he can play at his current learning level.

If a song is too difficult, so that it cannot be learned within two weeks, no false perfectionism should be shown. It is better not to stiffen this one song and try another song.

Too little practice

For the majority of the guitarists, relaxed sounding on the guitar is the most fun area. However, it is also very unproductive and time -consuming.

Those who do much more than really practiced should focus more on their discipline. For example, it makes sense to draw up an exercise plan that has to be processed before the undulating.
