Secret to play guitar....my opinion
« on: November 06, 2007, 10:58:41 AM »
Even though I'm just a novice on the guitar, I see that the secret to playing is......

developing the strumming hands.  For months, I've more so concentrated on the left hand, for chords but after really watch some guitarist closely, alot of what they do is in the way they strum the guitar.

Uriah has that strumming video in which he show how to get different sounds out of strumming high, low, etc....  This really opened up the way I thought about the guitar.

they are equally important. both hands need to be equally as proficient at what they do respectively. If you ever prefer one over the other you are selling yourself short.


Now if you are really deficient in one ares, obviously you might have to focus on that area.......but when it comes to playing it's importnat for both hands to be as in shape and as trained as possible.

The REAL secret to playing the guitar is...ready for this?...PLAYING the guitar!

Right and left hand technique is equally important and they way you get that technique developed and continuously improved is by playing...and listening...and playing...and listening...repeat, enjoy.
