Guitar TutorialsWhile the guitar is a sought after instrument to learn, many find it is quite difficult to learn. Just looking at guitar sheet music you will get a sense of how complex it can be. While many instruments require musicians to read one note at a time, the guitar can have as many as six notes at a time. Obviously you do not want to jump right in and start learning to read six notes at a time. This will only frustrate you and set you up for failure. Instead, you want to take it slow and progress by learning to read one or two notes at a time. The easiest way to learn to read two notes at a time is to play octaves. Here are some steps to take in order to properly read octaves with guitar sheet music. Before beginning to play, you want to look over a song and locate two of the same notes that are stacked on top of each other within the sheet music. This is what is known as an octave. From there, take your index finger from your non-dominant hand and place it on the lower note of the octave. You will then want to place your ring finger on the higher note. Now that you have your fingers positioned properly, strum the notes with the fingers of your dominant hand. It is important you do not allow the other strings to ring while strumming the octaves. In order to avoid this, rest the middle finger of your non-dominant hand over any unused strings. The next step to reading and playing octaves from guitar sheet music is to play two octaves in a row on the same string sets. Make sure you keep your fingers from your non-dominant hand in position when sliding from one octave to the next. This is a technique that does require practice, but will ultimately make reading octaves much easier. Everything with the guitar is steps. First, you will start by picking out octaves on the guitar sheet music. Next, you will properly position your fingers on the first octave. Then you will play two octaves in a row on the same string sets. The final step is to play two octaves in a row on different string sets. You will do this by keeping the fingers of your non-dominant hand as close to the strings as possible as you move to an octave on a different string set. It takes time and practice, but it will help you develop into a sound guitarist. Recommended Products & Reviews Guitar Superstars Music Master Pro Guitar Tutor
