The lessons were delayed

As you know that guitar is mostly about getting things properly and having fun.

Now let's get onto the lesson. There are two supposed types of grips onto the guitar. The slim Jim Hendrix grip or the Jimmy Hendrix grip. And the Italian grip. The difference between the two is how their implementation works.

For example the Hendrix grip has the thumb over the frets with the other fingers included. That type of grip is good chords but horrible to use for regular purposes in my opinion. On the other hand, the Italian grip has the thumb below and in the middle of the neck of the guitar. It's great for better reach to get higher notes. But it may be uncomfortable and is really not that good to do chords.

But before we learn about grips on the guitar we need to learn about the frets on a guitar. Do you see those lines on the guitar? Those are called frets. Those frets were placed there to get you the proper notes. The neck of the guitar or where the frets are, is called the fretboard.

For today's lesson we'll start with the Hendrix grip. The Hendrix grip is mostly having your thumb anchoring on the side of the fretboard. And then have your fingers going in a diagonal position. After doing all that you should have this type of grip down. But as we move forward into the lessons we'll use the Italian grip.

I was about to do what the book did but this woman took my book away.

"Damnit woman, give my book back!" I yelled as I tried to grab my book.

She immediately ran away with the book. I went after her leaving my guitar behind. As I ran I passed by the director. I stopped chasing her and told him that I left my guitar in that room. After telling him that I went back to chasing her.

...

I walked back to the music department building with nothing in hands since that motherfucker disappeared before I was able to catch up to her. I feel like she's going to force me to become her fake boyfriend by using that book.

But I came prepared for that. I went inside the music department to get my guitar. I said hello to the director since he was still there. After I got my guitar I went back to the dorm.

It was almost 3:00pm. I went to my dorm room to practice with my guitar. But when I was in front of my door I heard somebodys voice.

' Author please help me!'

Author: No it was your own fault not mine.

'Damnit you fucking taco muncher'

Author: You know what fuck you. I made this book and I'm about to make it much worse for you.

Oh shit. I was about to open the door but I heard a loud crash. I immediately opened the door and saw my computer was broken. I then looked at the same woman who stole my book on top of my bed.

"You fucking bitch why did you break my computer!" I yelled.

"Well I have to somehow get you to be my Fake boyfriend." She said.

What the hell is wrong with this woman! I thought women are more calmer than this when it comes to getting what they want.

"Alright. Alright I'll become your fake boyfriend. Now let me ask what do I have to do?" I questioned.

Fucking hell I hate doing shit like this because I'm probably going to show a fake side of myself.

"All you got out do is just be by my side when I need you." She responded.

" Alright I'll do it. Just remember that you owe me a new computer and some type of money since I'm probably going to waste my time on you." I said.

I then gave her my number and pushed her out my room. Still this is my first time getting in a relationship since I usually got rejected when I asked a girl out. I then took out my guitar and started to practice.

For todays lesson we'll use the Italian grip. As you know the first lesson we did was about the strings of the guitar. We'll build upon that lesson. Push down of the first fret with the high e string/thinest string. Now pluck that string. If you hear any buzzing noise when you pluck that string push harder on it.

But hard enough that It could sustain that note. Now you've learned your second note which is F. The notes that can be played on every instrument goes in a certain order. It goes A to G then it repeats. For example, when you push the seventh fret on the high e string creates a the C Sharp note. We'll talk about sharps and flats on the next lesson.

For use guitarist we can learn all the notes on the fretboard on a guitar by using patterns. We many scales to learn all the notes on a guitar. But for today you'll learn your first scale including new notes up to the the G string/ third string.

The scale you'll learn is te G major scale. The notes that consist in the G major scale is G, A, B, C, D, E, F#, and G. To get the first note you only pluck the third string. Then for the second note press the second fret on the same string in which you end up with the note A.

Afterwards you go to the second string and pluck it which you get the note B. On the same string you press down on the first fret which you should get the note C. Then do the same things as the last string to the first string except of putting it on the first fret you put it on the second fret.The notes that you should end of is E, F", and G.

If you pay attention you should see that you go from G and back to G. As I said the notes that are used for music go from a to g. It's all in order and has a perfect frequency that sounds good. Always remember that practice makes perfect. You may not understand what I say to you but eventually this will make sense. That's the end of today's lesson.

Practice:

-work on the G major scale with the metronome on 92 BPM

- practice pushing down on frets with a good amount of force to make a sound out of it.

- if your in college or in school try to join a band or an elective to interact with people and develop a good sense on how music works.

Why should I does this?

-by practicing these things you will improve on recognizing the notes on the fretboard and how fast you do the notes.

-by joining a band, or elective you will get to meet new people and might learn more from professionals
