AboutFrank A Dornay Jr Expertise I can answer questions about basic theory (i.e. key signatures, harmonies, intervals) and better ways to improve playing. I cannot answer more advanced theory questions or guitar value related questions.
Experience I have been playing guitar for over 10 years, and am currently studying to become a teacher.
Question What do i need to know (or learn) to play guitar and play guitar songs ?
Answer Hello!
To play guitar, you can start off with a beginner book, sold at most local retail shops, to learn chords and tab. A guitar tutor would be of great help, so you can learn theory to start playing your OWN guitar songs, as well as relevant music symbology. Or you can take a class at a local community college if you are at a college level. Start learning the musical alphabet, then apply it to the fretboard once you learn the strings (E A D G B E), then you can learn open chords, as well as barre chords. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask!
