1 . After I bought my new guitar, I started looking for apps to teach me how to use it. Finally, I chose Beginner Guitar Songs. Marty Schwartz, who is an amazing guitar teacher, showed me how to hold the guitar and then introduced how to play easy chords (和弦) to me. I quickly progressed through Beginner Lesson Series and advanced to Important Guitar Chords.
Two days later, I was ready to learn more chords. I found Guitar Lessons from Howcast. There are over 140 video lessons. I spent most of the day learning chords. Every day, I added a new chord and then reviewed the ones I had learned. By the end of the first week I had learned about ten chords. By the end of the second week, I had learned about fifteen chords. The app also taught me how to play scales (音阶). I learned the Pentatonic scale and the Blues scale. At that time, I felt like I was ready to dive into some music.
I also enjoyed GuitarJamz where I found more lessons from Marty Schwartz. Besides, I downloaded Blues Guitar Licks Lessons and Solo Guitar Lessons. Marty had hundreds of lessons for free on his YouTube channel. I watched, learned and experimented to see what I could do.
Then, I felt that some of my favourite classic rock songs were pretty easy. As I expected, now I can play America’s A Horse with No Name — two chords, The Beatles’s Let it Be — four chords, and Cat Stevens’s Peace Train — four chords.
Over the next few weeks I still watched YouTube videos and used chromatic Tuner. I also downloaded guitar sheet music through Songsterr Plus. This guitar learning app showed me how to read guitar tablature (奏法乐谱) and chord diagrams.
