The guitar is a popular musical instrument, and many people just like you desire to learn to play the guitar quickly. Here are a few steps to get you well on your way. The most important thing you can learn first, is to tune your guitar. So you'll need to make a trip to the music store, and pick up a tuner, but don't go just yet, there are some other things that you'll need, but we'll get to them a little later.
Take a trip to the music store and grab a tuner, and while you're there, try and get your hands on a chart that shows all the guitar notes, and if you can get hold of one, get a chart that shows as many of the different chord positions as you can find. Tune your guitar, and then start with learning all the notes on the guitar, all the way up.
Once you have memorized the notes on the guitar, you can learn some basic chords. The G chord is played at the third fret, sixth string - which is the bass E string- is played in the third fret, preferably with the fourth finger, The A string, next one down, is played in the second fret with the third finger, and the first string, high E or bottom, is played also in the third fret with the baby finger. The rest of the strings are open, strum this and you're playing the G chord.
D chord is relatively simple, place your second finger on the bottom string, your third finger on the next string up, third fret, and your first finger on the G string, your second and first fingers play second fret. Start strumming at the D string, which is the first string above your top finger.
The A chord should be relatively simple for you. I know many people including my Dad who play this one with two fingers, but it is recommended to play it with three. Anyhow, here we go, simply place your number 3 finger on the B string in the second fret, then place finger number 1 on the G string in the second fret followed by number 2 finger on the D string in the second fret. That's all there is to the A chord. Now the reason that it is recommended to use three fingers for this chord. Simply lift finger number 1 off, and you're playing A7.
Now practice strumming these chords, and when you are familiar with them, you can switch back and forth between them. A good thing at this point, is to consider either purchasing, downloading or borrowing a Chord chart. Learn all the chords you can. The more chords you learn the more flexibility you will have.
An alternate practice method you can play with, is to practice picking the notes on your guitar, I know you've already mastered them, but now you can use them to master training your ear. Pick a note on your guitar, and try to sing it.
Now if you want to be really good, try the notes and singing in the opposite order. That's right, sing the note first, and then find and pick the correct one on your guitar. Now, if you can master doing this, to the point where you can sing the note, and then almost immediately pick the right note on the guitar. If you're not playing along with some of your music, you better start. You wanted to learn to play the guitar quickly, and you just did.
