Steve Lacy - Some Guitar Lesson

[@SucculentAloeVera]

yeah so i got a guitar a couple days ago and this is the first song i’m trying to learn. my fingers are done for lmao. practice practice practice

[@jarno_r]

I’d learn the basic chords first, these chords are kinda advanced, definitely for a beginner

[@Ash-dx3kr]

How did it turn out?

[@topoftheleaderboard]

@Kimberly Moran he died

[@SucculentAloeVera]

lmao i’m alive. it’s good! it’s been about a year and it’s fascinating to see the progress. i couldn’t agree more with the guy who said starting with these chords was not the best idea. it was a goddamn challenge to put it simply. i had zero hand strength for the barring, no ability to stretch my hands like that, and my strumming was god awful. i really struggled with switching from those chord shapes. after about a month or so my hand strength was much better but the speed at which i played was not. i played sooo slowww just trying to allow my fingers to find the strings. being the first song i learned ever it def took me many months before i had it down. hell, i’d say 6 months or more before i was satisfied and even then there was more room to improve. the upside to starting with song as challenging as this is that learning new chords was much simpler. it’s always going to be a challenge since there’s a lack of muscle memory, but it really helped my ability to stretch my fingers and build the strength to play barre chords. starting with the more difficult stuff is hell when you’re learning, but once you get past it, i think it really pays off and helps out going forward. as of now, approaching the end of february 2021 - about a year later, i’m very satisfied with my playing. strumming is natural, it’s easier to form chords now. still not where i want to be, but nonetheless a wild improvement as compared to the few months i started out. i’ve built a decent vocabulary of chords and mostly just aim to work on improv. i’m just playing, training my hands, finding what chords go well into others, etc. all i can leave the starters with is don’t let yourself give up. don’t let the guitar beat you. it’s gonna be frustrating and you will feel hopeless many many times through the process. your hands are gonna cramp, you’re gonna feel like you’re purposefully trying to break your fingers. at times you may be certain you’re never gonna get there. that one damn string that stays muted when you barre! you’re going to want to verbally assault your guitar. please do, it helps lmao. all jokes aside, when you keep picking up the guitar you’re only going to improve. you’re gonna overcome the challenge, and you will certainly enjoy the feeling of figuring it out. it’s rewarding. very much so. thank you for reading my essay lol

[@a.bby4441]

@@SucculentAloeVera thanks for the update! would you say it’s better to start off trying to memorize/learn chords or start by trying to play songs you like. I’m just starting on guitar and I did it the second way on ukulele and I didn’t really get far lol.

[@hsj4149]

please homeshake-moon woman!! ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[@extra_gogo]

maybe as a tip, funky chords are more focused in the 4 (sometimes 5) last strings, since your movement needs to be precise on rythm and the bass is already playing that note; focus on your strum first boys

[@RobbietheMann1]

Thank you so much for this

[@physc3452]

[@vanika3049]

I can’t do the chords that involve 5 fingers lmaooo. I’ve tried to bar them, although it just sounds wrong. Any tips? By the I just started playing the electric guitar although I use to play to ukulele so I do know the basics just need help with some chords.

[@sir.bendover3299]

Try finger warm ups before you play and also do finger stretching exercises. Mostly tho, it's a matter of time before you get it, I remember the first 3 months I struggled with barre chords, over time your hands/brain get adjusted to the fretboard. Also the way you hold your guitar and fret the notes might be holding you back, make sure that's good
