What's up guys, you are watching Tug TV and welcome back to another episode of Rookie Guitarist Mistakes.
This one is focused around all the mistakes you do or we have done when we start off learning the guitar.
[A]
[N] So when it comes down to learning a guitar, that's sort of an endless cycle because you are going to continue to
learn and unlearn stuff with regard to the instrument.
This of course is a quick guide in terms of some of the rookie mistakes that we have done or happen in general
or we have heard of people doing it, especially while starting off to learn the guitar.
So we just wanted to put this out there.
So to start things off, the first thing is about buying the right guitar.
So we have already done an extensive video covering this topic.
We will have the links for it up here.
So you can always check that out and then come back to us.
So just to keep it short, the right instrument kind of does help and promote your playability over the period of time.
So just be careful when you are choosing your first guitar.
Next up is warm up.
None of us just walk into the gym and start lifting weights now, do we?
Same applies when you are learning to play a guitar as well.
Doing proper warm up will ensure that your muscles and all of that are quickly limbered up.
This also helps in terms of learning because you will be able to learn faster and you know, you will achieve better results.
Also, you will be able to do it for a much more longer period of your life.
So that helps.
We don't want your guitaring life to be cut short just because of this, do we?
This is also good because if you are learning at a steady pace and at a good pace, it keeps you motivated.
Another age old discussion which we kind of see quite often in all of these forums or among friends is the factor of
do we need to learn theory before we start playing the guitar?
And let me tell you, yes.
The guitar theory does lay the foundation of your complete musical career
because this gives you the kind of template and like the background on which you need to follow.
After this, it becomes your style to kind of adapt, kind of play around with and experiment with.
But you do need a firm foundation to kind of get this all through.
We've seen this countless number of times because whenever it might be the factor that you have played a riff along with your band
and you seem to feel that it's the best riff in the world.
But then whenever you go show to someone else, they're just going to go, I think your guitar is out of tune or like, you know,
I think you're playing the wrong notes.
That's what happens.
Because for us, if you're not trained to understand how music works, it's not going to show it either.
Now, we're not saying that you have to go and learn the Trinity method and learn all the theory before.
You don't need to get certified before you start playing the guitar.
Having some basic level or some basic knowledge of theory will firstly help you when you're writing scales
and helps you from the creation aspect.
And it doesn't necessarily limit you.
So don't limit yourself.
If you're into covers, go ahead and do what you like.
However, having a little bit of knowledge always helps.
The next point I would like to highlight is a rookie mistake and it's something I've also done is either too much practice or not enough practice.
Now, essentially, when it comes down to learning guitar, it's a lot like learning to drive a car.
It is motor memory and it's pure muscle memory, which means you're doing these scales and these exercises to sort of train your fingers and, you know, retain the memory of what you're playing.
So when you do too much of it, you're kind of confusing your muscle memory.
You ever had that time when you do too much studies and you wake up the next morning and can't remember anything?
Kind of works the same way.
On the other hand, of course, if you don't practice enough, you're not going to get anywhere.
So ensure that you're getting enough practice, but at the same time, ensure you spread it out and balance it out.
You're not going to conquer it in a day.
Take your time, space it out, take plenty of breaks when you're practicing.
A major mistake, what we have seen quite a lot of our peers doing is the factor about not tuning your guitar often and not maintaining the guitar.
[Eb] So let's start things with the tuning factor of it.
If your guitar is not in tune, you get ear trained to feel that that is what a guitar should sound like.
And that's not what it sounds like.
Here what happens is when you keep going further up, when you're trying to play originals or compose songs,
it always stays out of tune because you are tuned that way.
Eventually you are going to hit a roadblock.
And if you're playing live, you're not going to sound good.
And also whenever it comes to the maintenance of your guitars,
you do need to put a elbow grease on to it.
You know, it's not the fact that I bought a guitar and I don't need to do anything on it from now on.
A well maintained guitar is something which will help you kind of play faster, kind of play the thing that you want to play and make you keep playing it for longer.
And it helps you understand your own instrument.
And the final point we want to make is not having fun.
Now, OK, I know this is a little contradictory to the stuff we said, you know, when it comes down to having enough practice, setting up a routine, maintaining your stuff, learn your theory, all of that.
And then we're talking about having fun.
Now, the reason this is important is if you do too much of one thing, you kind of forget the reason why you picked up the guitar.
And most of us picked up the guitar because of that one song we wanted to learn.
So always ensure that you're having fun with it.
Ensure that you're playing that one song you wanted to always learn and play and ensure you're just generally having a good time.
So keep in mind that learning the guitar is always like having a short term goal and a long term goal happening in parallel.
[C] Your long term goal must be something which, you know, kind of pertains to the previous rules, what [G] we talked about.
But then your short term goals can always be learning that one riff in that one song which you like, you know, or one solo which you want to pick up or just you want to impress the girl whom you actually got the guitar from.
Quite a lot of times it happens.
There are instances when a lot of folks, you know, start off learning guitar and then they get dragged too much into scales or into theory and then they drop out.
Yeah, this just demotivates anyone.
This happens [C] because you're no longer motivated to do what got you there in the first place.
So don't end up in that situation.
Always have some fun with that instrument of yours, man.
So that's that.
