How to Tune The Guitar and Properly Hold It When Playing
You are now about to learn about how to position a guitar and tune it in this simple guitar lesson.
Let us first start with guitar positioning. Start by sitting on an armless chair that will provide support for your back. You should sit comfortably with your back against the chair. Bending in a slouch while playing, will develop strain in your back, so remember good posture all the time. When sitting in an armless chair, be sure that there is a lot of room on both sides of you so you can hold your guitar properly and move your arms.
Once seated, place the guitar on your lap with the strings facing outward. Check that the guitar body is on top of the leg that is farthest from the headstock. If you are right handed, the guitar should lay on your right leg. Most guitars will have a curved indentation on the body that will fit right on your leg when you play. If you are holding the guitar properly then the sixth string should be close to your chest and the first string should be close to your feet.
Your fret hand will have to be placed on the left if you are right handed and on the right if you are left handed. You should grip the neck of the guitar gently with your fretting hand. The thumb should be the only finger placed behind the guitar's neck. The other four fingers in front, are placed slightly bent, over the strings. Bend your fingers naturally when pressing the strings unless the instructor tells you otherwise.
Next we are going to discuss guitar picking techniques. Playing a guitar will be much easier with the use of a guitar pick. A guitar pick is a small flat tool that you use to strum the guitar. You should purchase a minimum of ten guitar picks and they are relatively cheap. Best try to start with the pick that is not too stiff or too thin. Picks are made of rubber, wood, stone, plastic, tortoiseshell, and metal. They are usually in the shape of a triangle but other shapes are available from manufacturers.
Now that you are seated properly and are holding the right pick, we proceed with the lesson on strumming the guitar.
Your picking hand will be nearest the bridge of your guitar. You should open up the hand you will be picking or “strumming” the guitar with. The palm should be facing you. Next, place the thumb on top of the bent index finger. Make sure that you rotate the hand so the knuckle of the thumb is facing toward you. Carefully slide the guitar pick between your index finger and thumb, using your other hand. That way, the pick is secure. It should end just right behind your thumb's knuckle.
You should hold the pick firmly and the pointed portion of the pick should be pointing away from your fist and should be sticking out about ½ inch. The strumming hand should be positioned over the sound hole when using an acoustic guitar, and over the guitar body when using an electric guitar. Place your strumming hand above the strings.
As much as possible, the picking hand should not touch the body or strings of the guitar. Using your wrist, not your arm, strum the lowest string downward. If the string clatters too loudly, try to strum a little more gently. Then pick the lowest string upwards.
Try this a few times. Try to lower the motion of your picking hand by doing a short pick downwards and a short pick upwards. Now repeat the process with the rest of the strings.
Holding the pick always feels awkward at first. At the beginning, you also will have to spend more time practicing your picking or strumming. Make your downstrokes and upstrokes sound alike. Expect likewise, to sound unpolished at first. You will, of course, improve with practice. It takes time to become the next guitar hero!
