Q. So I've been playing guitar for about 4 months now. I'm teaching myself as opposed to lessons, which may have slowed my progress down. Here's what I know so far that I'm familiar with.
A Major
Amaj7
A Minor
Asus2
Asus4
A7
A11
Am7
B Major (This one is a real bitch still)
B7
C Major
C7
Cadd9
D Major
Dmaj7
D Minor
D7
D9
D11
Dsus2
Dsus4
Dm7
E Major
E minor
E7
Esus4
Emaj7
Em7
F Major (partially, can't quite bar that 6 string)
Fsus4 (partially)
G Major
G7
Now I can't switch very fast between ALL of them, some of them are harder than others but I can DO all of those. Most of the bar chords are still kicking my ass so I need to do finger strengthening or something. It's very difficult for me.
I don't know any songs yet, really. I mean I know Tom Petty - Freefalling but I spend most of my time practicing chords and some individual picking.
I have guitar pro, guitar guru, some dvds, some books, but I have yet to really DIVE into all of it due to time and short attention span. But those are lame excuses. Perhaps one day I will earn enough dough to afford lessons but for now I have to try and exercise discipline.
Anyways, you think that's okay for a beginner? Any suggestions?
I have an acoustic guitar and a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar with amp.
A. If your familiar with all of those, then your doing really well. Keep it up.
Creed songs- great riffs, looks difficult but very easy.
Pink Floyd- go to the classics, you'll feel proud of yourself.
Heart
Zeppelin
Black crowes
3 doors down
And do more fingering than chords.
Guitar is more than chords and some people hate to understand it but it's the truth.
Take the bad with the good and learn the notes with piano sheet music. Or with that style?
Good luck :)
