I am a learned musician and have been playing guitar for many years. The first thing is to practice every day without fail. Never ever leave your guitar for a week or two. Each skipped day takes you two days behind.
If you are a beginner, learn the guitar basics first like what are frets and strings. Learn the names of the strings. Learn how to tune a guitar. Learn the proper way to hold a guitar, the correct posture is really the most important. Learn the different ways to press and play a string. These are the basic things you have to learn to play the guitar. Practise, Practise, and some more practice,. This is the key to being a good guitarist. In addition to these tips and tricks, you of course have to learn the scales, chords, and tones. I usually learn guitar through websites that provide chords and tabs to millions of songs like Worshipchords, ultimateguitar, and many more.
Here are some of my favorite songs
1 Before The Throne Of God Above
2. Called Me Higher
3. 10,000 Reasons
4. Way Maker
5. How Great Is The Lord
6. You See Me (In Focus)
