:.: Click on the guitar to start! When you click on a button to see the fingering for a certain chord, click on the guitar to hear how it sounds.
:.: Welcome back to another installment in my guitar learning series! I didn't expect to turn this into something so big, but I guess I did. xD :.: IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE PLAYING: Make sure your guitar is in tune. If you have a tuner, find out what kind it is! If it looks like it has a clip, clip it on to your guitar's headstock (the top of your guitar). If it's a box with random dots, then place it in front of you (stay very quiet!) and tune it like that. If you don't have any of those, then you can download a tuning app on your phone or tablet. To tune it, play each string individually, then see if your tuner says to tune it higher or lower. If you have the headstock I drew here, Then the Low E, A, and D strings twist right to tune higher, then the G, B, and High E strings twist right to tune lower. NEVER, EVER, EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CONCERNING TUNING TWIST YOUR TUNING KEYS IN FULL CIRCLES, OR ELSE YOUR STRINGS WILL BREAK. TWIST THEM BIT BY BIT UNTIL THEY'RE IN TUNE. IF YOUR STRINGS START PLAYING DIFFERENT NOTES THAN THEY SHOULD BE, THEN YOU'VE TWISTED TOO MUCH AND YOU SHOULD START TWISTING THE OTHER WAY. In the janky chords charts I drew, the circles with the numbers on them say what fingers you place on the strings. You know how on piano, your thumb is Number 1, Index finger Number 2, and so on? Well, for guitar, you only use your four fingers, and the Index fingers starts it off with being Number 1, Middle Finger Number 2, and so on. If there's an X on a certain string, don't play it! If there's a gray circle on a certain string, don't press down on it, but still play it. If your strings start making weird sounds and won't play properly, then scoot your fingers closer to the frets. Don't place your fingers on top of the frets! If you're finding the F Chord difficult, don't give up! Continue to practice it, but you can refer to this video for alternates in case if you're performing live and your song requires and F Chords (and you don't want to totally mess up): :.: Disclaimer: I'm not a guitar teacher. I'm actually a beginner student. I do not claim to be a qualified quitar teacher. I'm just teaching what I know to other people. I know these chords and can play them, so therefore I can tell another person how to play a chords. I cannot teach you how to play songs unless I know a song by heart. I, in fact, learn songs as well. I can't give you a lesson, I can just give you tips and teach you the small things I know. So don't you dare call me bad unless you're hoping to get reported and banned, I'm just a beginner. There's a very, very, VERY thick line between "beginner" and "bad". Another note: The weird clicking sound you may hear near the end of some of the sound files is the sound of my pick hitting the pick guard on my guitar. This is a habit I'm trying to break xD Other installations in this series: Guitar anatomy: Learn about your guitar: :.: Credits: Everything in this project is by me, except for the font, which is the signature Scratch font. Darrell Braun Guitar for the video I linked. My guitar teacher for teaching me guitar every monday! My dad for inspiring me to learn guitar. And the Scratch Team for developing Scratch, so I could make this project! :D :.: Love, Favorite and Follow!
