Learn Metal Guitar the Easy Way

Posted by HOT MUSIC Friday, April 17, 2009

Learning Metal guitar has similar principles to learning any type of guitar, the foundation is the same as far as learning the string names, basic chords and scales, but all too often, a lot of the learning material is too general. First of all, I would like to point out principles which should be followed by everybody when learning the guitar.

Warm Up - It is always a good idea to warm your hands and fingers up become a practice session, it is possibly to do yourself a minor injury if not. There are scale patterns that you can do to help loosen your finger, the most common is playing fret 1,2,3,4 on the 6th string, then play the same notes on the 5th string, 4th string all the way up to the 1st string, then reverse the sequence back down to the 6th string. Then repeat but starting on the 2nd fret and all the way up the neck.

Keep practicing - This may seem obvious but probably the most common reason why people don't progress in anything is they don't practice what they have been taught. If you don't do something within a week of learning it, then you will forget it completely. The only way to get more proficient which chords and scales is to practice them until they become effortless. You don't have to go crazy, just do 15 minutes a day if that is all you have time for.

Have patience - At first, trying to play the chords correctly without getting what is known as fret buzz can be quite frustrating. As you play more, your hands will become stronger and the tips of your fingers will harden which will improve the sound.

Remember what you learn - Keep a record of what you have been taught and spend a bit of time each week to quickly go over some of the main points you have learnt in previous lessons.

Have focus - focus your attention on your goals. Make a plan of what you want to achieve each week on the guitar so you can tick these off as you attain them. Having a goal will allow you to progress much quicker. This could be a new chord you want to master, a new scale or possibly learning a new song.

As previously mentioned, the problem is if you are a beginner and you want a metal guitar lesson, then there are hardly any courses available to teach you without all the boring theory. Please check our guides at http://www.metalguitarlesson.com on how you can take a serious short cut.
