Hey guyz now i came up few things that will make you remember the simple notations of music.

Lets start.

Music is collection of tones,harmony and melody in a systematic pattern. These patterns are called as rhythm. You may heard of rhythm many times in your life but do you know what rhythm actually is. If no then here is the answer.
Rhythm is a systematic pattern of music or i should say tones and melody in different time intervals known as beat. All of you know that your heart beats. Normally the time intervals of heart beats are same,similarly if the tones and melody are played in systematic beat it will form harmony.

So you now know what rhythm is.
Lets start with the basics.
Music consists of a set of tones.For example scale
Scale of C Major
Scale of C major is the most basic scale of music. It has notes
C D E F G A B C
You can play it on fret board see the image below
It is so easy play C down stroke with plectrum then D with up stroke and alternately play it forward and reverse. Start with a slow beat. As you get your hand free you will easily play it on the guitar.

Hey guyz I m here to tell you all the basics of guitar so that you can play any music on it
Guitar is a very amazing musical instrument. It comes from a spanish word 'Gui' means six and 'Tar' means strings.
By the way all those folks who wants to learn guitar from a scratch then you are at right place.
So lets start.

First of all what you need to do is buy a guitar.
Of course not an expensive one you just need to get your hand to one of those cool acoustics.
I know many of you are thinking that you can start with electric but trust me acoustics are best.

Next step is to know what the guitar is, of course if you don't know about guitar then you can't play it.
For most of you these are bore i know, but these are for those who are new.

So lets start:
First you need to know the parts of guitar , the above pic will help you.
Then you need to know what these parts are.

First the Headstock: Its just the head of the guitar neck which holds the tuning keys.

Next is Tuning keys: These are keys which are used to wind up the strings. It is use to tune the guitar for perfect tone. Normally an acoustic guitar is tuned into standard EBGDAE tone. Now you must be thinking what is EBGDAE i will come to it later.

Now next in the list is Machine Head: Machine head is just a gear system used to tune.

Then we have Strings: The one of the most important thing in guitar. If strings are not there what will you struck to produce sound.

Next in the line is Finger Board/Fret Board: Fret board is a wooden segment divided by metal lumps at particular intervals.Thse are provided for getting different tones.

Fret: It is segment of fret board in which strings are pressed and then struck to produce sound.

Next is Neck: Neck is the long wooden segment which holds the fret board.

Position Marker: Position marker are provided to the fret board to show the number position on the fretboard.

Body: It is not indicated in the diagram but it is the most important part of guitar. It is a hollow wooden body which resonate the sound produced by strings to give a melody or tone.

Top: It is the top wooden surface of body which holds the bridge.

Bridge: Bridge is the segment which holds the other end of the strings.

Pickguard: It is used to protect the guitar body from plectrum and to support the hand to play the guitar.

Rosette: Rosette is the hole provided on the top of body. It is used to allow the sound produced by strings to enter and exit the body.

Binding: Its not an important thing it just bind the top portion to the body.

That's all about the parts of guitar. Now the next blog helps you to learn music, without musical knowledge you can't play it.

Note: This blog is only for those who wants to learn guitar from beginning. So that's it folks.
If you like this post then i will come up with more things about the guitar. So till the next post bye and have a musical day.
