Question by e830s: What’s the fastest and most efficient way to improve at guitar and play “cool songs” pleasing to the ear?
A little background:

So I am a guitar beginner – I can play the chords OK, can sing sometimes when I play simple songs, have decent rhythm, and I still hate bar chords but I’m getting them down OK. One problem though…

Practicing really feels like a chore sometimes (the hard part is just getting my guitar out, once I start it’s not so bad) but I wish I could really see myself improving and playing well quicker. I feel like there has to be some advice out there that will “make the difference” in my progress. I bought a Fender instructional DVD for acoustic and it’s helped; I’ve learned some cool things but I think after a while it will get old…

Any teachers/experts out there with some good advice for someone looking to improve in guitar and develop a passion for the instrument?

Answer by TR
Well, a few ideas–

Have you had any professional instruction? Book a few lessons with a good teacher (you can find them in the better music stores–go to the store that sells a full range of band/orchestra/world instruments as well as guitars and amps). If you are making any little mistakes that are slowing you down, the teacher will correct them.

What’s your practice routine like? Can you set things up so that your guitar is out on a guitar stand rather than in the case? When you practice, do you do warm-up exercises or just jump in and start strumming songs? Here’s my thought: several shorter practices lead to more progress than one long one (exception; at some point you need stamina, and only a long session will give you that). So maybe do a 20-minute practice with short warm-ups and then work on playing some real changes, then break–and do another 20-minute session later, and maybe a 30-minute after that.

Playing chords is fine but for real progress you’re going to want scales. Get a copy of Diatonic Major and Minor Scales for Guitar by Andres Segovia and decipher it–all the great shredders play scales according to Segovia–

Alternate your routine often. For example, don’t play the song as written–change the rhythms. Play it in 3. Play it all the way through with the first note or chord long, the second one as short as you can make it, third long, fourth short, etc. Then reverse it and play short-long-short-long.

Go to a store that sells fantasy gaming dice and buy a 12-sider and a 6-sider. Throw them both. The 6-sider is the guitar string (1=low E, 2=A, etc.) and the 12-sider is the fret. Name that note. This is the quickest way to learn all the notes on the fingerboard in the first octave.

Question by Sam: How can I create a .mid or a .chart file?
I’m trying to customize my Guitar Hero II game and it asks for a .mid or a .chart file so it can correspond the music with the notes.
Here’s an excerpt from the instructions:
“In the window that opens, navigate to where your .mid or .chart file is located, and click Open. GHEx will then import the file, and display this dialog.”

I press import so I can find one but there is none on my computer. Please help me so I can finish this endless project! Thanks! =D

Best answer:

Answer by rod
Do a search for ‘free MIDI files’. That should find you plenty of .mid files to choose from.

For the chart files, I’d try to export one from your guitar hero to your computer, so you can open it and see if it’s something you can replicate.

Hope that helps

Question by Zac C: Should I buy the Claude Johnson “How to play Smokin’ Blues Guitar” DVD?
I want to know if anyone else has, if it is helpful, and if I shouldn’t whats a good way to really get rolling down the blues road?
anyone know?

Best answer:

Answer by conchobor2
I honestly don’t know about this product so I probably won’t be much help …

But, I’d imagine that a method like this will leave you sounding like Claude Johnson.

Honestly, how about pulling out the old recordings and going over to youtube and the like. Listen to your favorite blues artists, and ones you don’t know. Watch other people in how they cover those songs – especially in how they may do it differently.

Learn a few licks here, a few licks there, create your own.

Find your soul.

Play the notes.

Play the spaces in between the notes.
