Related BlogsPiano For Beginners – ChordsTuesday, June 8th, 2010Learning chords is a great way to improve your piano skills. The basic chords are actually very easy to learn and will allow you to play quite a lot with them. But it’s never a good idea to simply memorize them. You should instead try to understand them. In this article we’ll try to show you what chords really are and how to make sense of them. There are many chords out there, theoretically thousands. And that, of course, is the main reason why it’s not really a good idea to try to memorize them. True, not all of theoretically possible chords are actually usable in real life, but still. Instead, you should learn how they are made. In this article we’ll focus on triads, especially major and minor. Triads, as the name implies, are chords made of three notes that are played together. We’ll take a closer look at a C major. You’re probably familiar with it, it’s on of the most well known chords. C major consists of three different notes – C, E, and G. The starting note, the root note (after which it is named) is C. Remember that all chords have roots in a specific note. Nothing is random here and there is actually a formula which tells you not only how C major is made, but how all the major chords are made. Wouldn’t it be nice to know this formula? Here it is: major chords are made up of the 1st, the 3rd, and the 5th note of the major scale. Take a look at C major scale: C (root note), D, E(3rd note),F,G(5th note),A,B,C. There you have it – C major or C,E,G. It’s practically the same with the minor chords, the only difference is that the second note is not the third note of the scale, but the lowered third note. The formula is: 1st, lowered 3rd, and the 5th note of the scale. There you have it, this is how they are made. So learn the formulas and become the master of the chords.

Ultimate Guitar TabSaturday, December 19th, 2009There are both free and paid services where you can find an ultimate guitar tab website online. The free guitar websites have become very popular. Paying for an ultimate guitar tab website is very expensive and should only be a final step after you have tried all of the free services. The free services have almost any song you can imagine. The pay sites also have thousands of songs but they are not free. Learning the chords and scales will help you learn the guitar quickly while building much needed finger strength at the same time. Learning how to play a song using an ultimate guitar tab sheet is an even quicker method to use. When you first try learning to play a song with an ultimate guitar tab book, you can learn most songs in a few hours. This depends on how difficult the song is and how long you have been playing. Many people claim that learning from an ultimate guitar tab book is a huge shortcut when learning how to play the guitar. However, in the long run it is also a good idea to learn how to play the chords and scales so you can play any song. The ultimate guitar tab notes will help a person learn a song very quickly by showing them the exact notes and what strings to strike. By just using the chords and sheet music, you will have a general idea of how the song is suppose to sound. Learning all of the chords and scales is very time consuming and a much slower way to learn how to play the guitar. Another advantage of ultimate guitar tab is that you can see precisely what notes are being played in a particular song. You can play any song precisely as it was written. Playing a song with just the chords rather than the precise notes makes the tune sound similar, but not precisely how it was written. Using ultimate guitar tab is a good way to find those hidden or obscure single notes here and there that aren’t heard very often. Whether or not you are a beginner or a seasoned musician, learning guitar tabs is still fun and straightforward. You can really impress any person you like by playing the notes to their favorite song to them in a couple of minutes. There is not any faster and simpler free way to teach yourself how to play the guitar than by learning an ultimate guitar tab transcription.
