Learn guitar from scratch.
This guitar course is aimed at all those people who have a
great love for guitar music, and for this reason they have
chosen to learn to play it, to distinguish themselves at social
events or family gatherings and add a pleasant touch to the
moment.
But, due to lack of time or other reasons, they have never
been able to delve deeper into learning music theory, which is
the traditional method for reading music written in sheet
music, which allows us to play the guitar or any other
instrument professionally.
What does this course aim to do?
The philosophy of this course is to facilitate learning with a
"theoretical - practical" system, but easy to understand and
execute.
We will teach you an enjoyable and simple method how to
"accompany" popular songs, with the guitar, without needing
to know music theory.
From the first lesson the student can understand the "basic
theory" of how the instrument is used, and thus assimilate
the basic techniques for playing guitar.
Methodology
We will study and learn with 33% Theory, Another 33%
Practice and Another 33% Musical Ear.
Important: There are many photographs that contain
recorded sounds played with the guitar and a set of Guide
photos.
Topic 1: How to install the strings on a guitar.
The guitar is a stringed instrument made of wood, bakelite or
metal.
Photo 1: Wooden guitar and metallic electric
guitar.
The guitar is made up of 11 parts, but one of the main parts
is its "six strings", which are extended and tied at the upper
and lower ends of the guitar.
Photo 2: Strapped at the top of the guitar
Photo 3: Tied to the bottom end of the guitar
Traditional guitars have six strings, when they are for
classical guitar their material is nylon.
Photo 4: Nylon ropes.
The electric or acoustic guitar uses metal material strings.
Photo 5: Metal Ropes.
Each string is named according to the musical note they
produce when played "open", that is, without pressing a fret.
The guitar strings are numbered from one to six, with the
thinnest being string number one and the thickest being
string number six.

Topic 2: Equipment you need to take this course.
We suggest the student or reader invest in some basic equipment, which will
help them speed up learning the guitar and master certain techniques,
necessary for their better development in this area.
Equipment to purchase:
a) A Guitar
b) A Pick or Nail
c) A tuning fork or acoustic tuner
d) A whistle or wind tuner
e) A capo or arm
f) A support
g) A case
EQUIPMENT FUNCTION:
2.a) The Guitar
It is preferably suggested to invest in a classical guitar, if you don't want to
spend a lot. The classical guitar does not need to be connected to electrical
power, it can be taken anywhere.
Photo 49: classical guitar.
The classical guitar has "nylon strings", the fingerboard is wider than that of the
acoustic or electric guitar.
Photo 50: classical guitar nylon strings for beginners.
It is not advisable to play with metal strings when you are a beginner, because
the fingers of the left hand become injured or injured, this happens because
they have not reached their normal callus on the fingertips, which is normal and
necessary to develop in the fingers of the left hand, so as not to feel pain when
playing "guitar chords".
Photo 51: Calluses on the fingers
The acoustic guitar is thinner in its fingerboard than the classical guitar and
uses metal strings and its sound when playing is very similar to that of an
electric guitar, but because it uses metal strings it is not advisable to learn to
play on them.
Photo 52: acoustic guitar.
Photo 53: metal strings of acoustic guitar.
The electric guitar, its fundamental difference, is that it works as long as you
have a sound amplifier and with good power to be heard by everyone. The 6
strings it uses are made of metal and its frets and fingerboard are thinner than
the classical guitar and acoustic guitar.
Photo 54: electric guitar.
Photo 55: Metal strings of electric guitar.
2.b) Uñeta or Púa.
They can be purchased made of plastic or fiberglass, these
help produce a stronger, clearer and more even tone than
when played with the right hand or the nails of this same
hand.
Those made of plastic are preferable because they break the
strings less. Thin picks make picking faster, easier and
smoother.
Photo 56: Thin Plastic Pick or Pick.
Thick fiberglass picks produce and create a slower, harder
and louder sound.
Photo 57: Thick fiberglass spike or spike
.
Tip: It is necessary to cut the fingernails of the fingers of the
left hand, to obtain better sound, more clarity; This makes it
easier to place your fingers on the strings so that the chord
can be heard better.
On the contrary, the right hand should ideally have nails, but
not so long, to create a stronger sound in the
accompaniments.
Photo 58: Short Nails
2.c) The Tuning Fork or Acoustic Tuner
The Tuning Fork is a very useful instrument to help us tune
the guitar. This object has been used since ancient times, and
has always been suggested as the most economical and
easiest way to tune any stringed instrument.
It has two bars that vibrate when struck, and produce a
sound frequency of a musical note. Normally it is the note
"E", that is, the first and sixth strings of the guitar.
Photo 59: old acoustic fingerboard (it was
longer).
Photo 60: Modern Acoustic Tuning Fork (it is the size
of a hand).
2.d) The Whistle or Wind Tuner
It is more expensive than the tuning fork, but it is more
complete and, at the same time, simple and easy to use. It
produces the six basic sounds of the guitar strings, and there
are others that produce the entire scale of musical notes,
which are:
Photo 61: Old Wind Tuner (it was the size of your
hand).
Modern Wind Tuner (it is the size of a finger).
OTHER TUNERS USED
- Electronic whistle tuner, with all the musical notes of any
instrument.
- Web whistle tuner, using a computer program or computer.
2.e) The Capo or Arm
The Capo is a bar that is placed on the fretboard of the guitar,
it traps the six strings at the fret that the musician desires.
The capo is made of metal on the upper part and rubber or
cork on the lower part. It can fit any fret, it is clamped.
Its Main Function is to allow the guitarist to raise a half or
full tone when playing without having to change chords or
notes in the score.
Method of use : it is placed on the neck of the guitar under
pressure. The metal capo replaces the guitar nut. One of its
advantages is that it allows us to slide from the upper fret to
the lower fret, thus achieving a half-tone rise per fret.
It is commonly used when the guitarist wants to match the
tone of a person's voice, when accompanying them in a song,
without having to change chords.

2.f) Support
A guitar is a very delicate and fragile instrument.
During times when you are not using the guitar, you can
place it on a stand or pedestal made of iron or reinforced
plastic to avoid damaging it. There are different styles and
some are light and others hard.

2.g) The Case
It is a guitar transporter, it is useful, because it is designed
with the exact measurements of a guitar, to be comfortable
both for it and for the musician.
Cases can be found in synthetic leather material, fortified
Bakelite case or plastic liners.

Topic 3: Parts of a Guitar.
The guitar is made up of eleven parts, all of which fulfill an
important function within the instrument, which are:
3.a) The Clavijero
It is located at the top of a guitar and rests on the head of the
neck. They are normally shaped like keys, their fundamental
mission is to hold and tension the six strings of the guitar,
using a screw mechanism that rotates on its axis, which
contains a hole where the tip of the string is inserted.
When the string is inside the pegbox, you have to turn it until
it is taut, thus its tuning or sound changes little by little, from
low to high or vice versa.
Front headstock and back headstock.
3.b) La Cejuela
Traditionally, it measures about four point six centimeters
long. Most of the time it is bone white.
The material with which it is made is solid synthetic plastic,
and it is embedded at the beginning of the fingerboard.
It has six symmetrically separated slots where the six strings
of the guitar rest. Its main function is to prevent the strings
from touching each other when playing a melody, so as not to
cause a bad sound.

3.c) The Mast
It is the long, vertical wooden support that the guitar has, to
which the fingerboard is attached. In addition, it is attached
to the body or body of the guitar. The six strings and the
head of the guitar also rest on the neck, where the six pegs
are attached.

Photo 72: side mast
3.d) The Tuning fork
It is normally the darkest and most wooden piece, which is
located on the front of the neck.
On the fingerboard there are eighteen or more metal plates
very similar to the nut called "frets", and they are placed at
an asymmetrical distance from each other.
Photo 73: Front fingerboard
Photo 74: Horizontal Tuning
Fork.
3.e) The Frets
They are embedded in the fingerboard, they are around
eighteen or more metal bars that measure approximately four
point six centimeters long, their main function is to separate
the musical notes between fret and fret.
The fingers press the strings in the middle of the fret and
create a musical note. If two or more strings are pressed at
the same time, they create a musical chord. Its tone will be
low if the upper frets are used and its tone will be high if the
lower frets are used. lower.

Photo 76: Frets.
3.f) The Mouth
It is located in the middle of the guitar, it is the circular hole
through which the sound comes out and its function is to
amplify the sound generated by the strings or their vibration
when played. Some guitars have artistic decorations around
the soundhole, and this art is called a "rosette."

Soundhole..
Photo 78: mouth and total rosette.
3.g) The Ropes
Traditional guitars have six strings, when they are for
classical guitar their material is nylon and when they are for
electric or acoustic guitar, their material is metal.
Each string has a name according to the musical note they
produce when played "open", that is, without pressing a fret.
The guitar strings are numbered from one to six, with the
thinnest being string number one and the thickest being
string number six.

numerical location.
Photo 80: guitar strings in packages.
3.h) The Bridge
It is located at the bottom of the guitar, below the soundhole.
It is an elongated and thick piece that measures around
eighteen centimeters long, in the middle there is a thicker
support of around eight point two centimeters long, where the
six strings of the guitar are tied or held.
Depending on the brand and style of guitar, the size and
material of the bridge may vary.

3.i) The Sides
They are curved in shape and therefore allow for easier
playing since they fit on the musician's leg when playing
seated.
Photo 83: right side of a guitar
Photo 84: left side of a guitar
3.j) The Box or Body
It is also called a resonance box and is what allows the sound
generated by the strings to be amplified when they vibrate.
Its upper cover is called "Harmonica Cover" and its lower
cover is called "Rhythmic Cover". The body size depends on
the type of guitar.
Photo 85: The box or front body.
Photo 86: The box or front body.
3.k) The Striker
Normally they only carry it on the acoustic or electric guitar
and it is used to play with the right hand, which generates an
acoustic drum sound that when the musician already has
experience sounds very harmonious.

Topic 4: Guitar Pre-Tuning
The guitar has six strings and each of them sounds according
to a musical note already established by world music
standards, the notes are:
Rope #1 The finest Note My Sharp tone
Rope #2 Medium Fine Note Yes Medium High
Rope #3 Medium Fine Sol note Medium High
String #4 Medium Serious Note Re Medium Serious
Rope #5 Medium Serious Note The Medium Serious
String #6 The most serious Note My Grave Tone
It is important to memorize that when no string is pressed
with the fingers of the left hand, the string is said to sound
"open."
Photo 90: E strings playing in the air.
Photo 91: LA strings playing in the air.
As a helpful tip, always have a spare set of strings on hand in
case they break when tuning or playing. Next we will tighten
the 6 strings of the guitar until they are tense in a tone
approximate to the note of each string.
Note: This part is a continuation of topic 1, here we will
tighten the 6 strings after having placed them on the guitar.

ema 5: Basic Method of Guitar Tuning.
To tune the guitar it will always be FIRST WITH STRING
number SIX, which is the note E. In track 4 we leave the sixth
string prepared or tensioned (see photo 92), this will help us
to start tuning this string.
5.a) Tuning the Sixth String
With the help of the ACOUSTIC TUNING FORK, we will hit it
on a solid base (wall, metal or table) and it will immediately
generate the sound of the low E note. If you have a good
musical ear and do not have a tuning fork, use your voice,
intoning the MI GRAVE NOTE with your THROAT.
With the help of the HEADHEAD, tighten the six string until it
SOUNDS EQUAL TO THE E NOTE OF YOUR THROAT, OR THAT
OF THE TURFBOARD.
You have to hear that the sound is already solid and
consistent, not loose or weak, it will improve as the string is
tightened.
Having achieved the above, you can now consider the string
number six or note "E" in tune.
Photo 104: Tuning the open sixth string
Photo 105: Click on the photo and you will hear the tuning
sound.
5.b) Tuning the Fifth String.
Next, we move on to tune string number five or the note "A",
with the help of the pegbox it will be slowly tightened until
reaching the tone or sound that the sixth string generates
when it is pressed at the "fret number five".

sound.
5.c) Tuning the Fourth String.
Then we move on to tune the number four string or note "D",
with the help of the pegbox it will be slowly tightened until
reaching the tone or sound that the fifth string generates
when it is pressed at the "number five fret".

sound.
5.d) Tuning the Third String.
Then we move on to tune the number three string or "G"
note, with the help of the tuning machine it will be slowly
tightened until reaching the tone or sound that the fourth
string generates when it is pressed at the "number five fret".

sound.
5.e) Tuning the Second String.
Then we begin to tune the number two string or "Si" note,
with the help of the tuning machine it will be slowly tightened
until reaching the tone or sound that the third string
generates when it is pressed at the "number four fret".

sound.
5.f) Tuning the First String.
Next we tune the number one string or note "E" which with
the help of the pegbox will be slowly tightened until reaching
the tone or sound that the second string generates when it is
pressed at the "number five fret".

Topic 6: Professional Guitar Tuning Method.
First you must acquire or buy a guitar whistle tuner, it has six
holes that, when blown one by one, give the tone of each
string of the guitar and the only thing you have to do is
tighten each string with the help of the headstock and imitate
the whistle sound of each string until the two sounds are
identical.
Sometimes the six notes are marked in the "Alphagram"
system, that is,
The Letter E which is the note E,
The letter A which is the note LA,
The letter D which is the note RE,
The letter G which is the note SOL,
The letter B which is the note SI.
Later we will explain the letters of all the musical notes.

whistle on the note SHARP B and that is where the string will
be fully tuned. In this method you should not tighten any
frets.

Topic 7: How each hand is used on a guitar.
7.a) Left hand
It is important to know that each finger of the hand performs
an important mission when playing the guitar, not all fingers
are used.
To make it more understandable, each finger is assigned a
code and they are in numbers:
Photo 130: Left Hand
The left hand places the fingers in the middle of the frets
when we want to sound a "chord or individual notes", to
accompany or play guitar solos. The fingertips press the
string in the middle of the fret, depending on the desired note
or chord.
In order not to tire your hand, you should not use too much
force, especially at the beginning, which is when blisters
begin to appear on the fingertips, which later transform into
small calluses, which, unfortunately, are necessary to create
a clean sound on the guitar.
Photo 131: Left Hand Fingers Pressing Frets.
Photo 132: Left hand fingers create chord.
Exercises for the left hand
You must bend the four fingers of your left hand and release
or open them one by one in an orderly manner, first the little
finger, ring finger, middle finger and index finger and then
close them, first index, middle finger, little finger and ring
finger.
Photo 133: Exercise one of the left hand.
The idea is to do it many times and quickly to achieve
elasticity and speed when placing the chords and their
changes.
Photo 134: Exercise two for the left hand.
Photo 135: Exercise three of the left hand.
7.b) Right Hand
The use of the right hand is to play accompaniments
with different techniques and the basic bass of each
chord. It is important not to forget that the right hand
is used as support for the left hand at the moment
when this hand is generating a chord or note.
Like the left hand, the right hand has codes on each
finger and they are executed in letters, which are:
Photo 136: Right Hand
We will use these letter codes to execute scales,
accompaniments, arpeggios and basses, in each of the
most common techniques.
The right hand is used "alone" only when the strings
are played open.
Photo 137: Right hand touching the air.
Exercises with the right hand
You must open and bend the four fingers of your right
hand and open them at the same time repeatedly.
Photo 138: Exercise 1 of the "open" right
hand.
Photo 139: Exercise 2 of the "Bent" Right
Hand
Photo 140: Exercise 3 of the Closed Right
Hand.
Then you will have to start opening them one by one
from the thumb, index, middle, ring and little fingers to
be able to make ARPEGIOS.
Photo 141: Exercise 4 of the Right Hand
"Arpeggios".
7.1) Sub-Topic: musical accompaniment techniques to
use with the right hand:
7.1.a) Open hand technique:
The "index, middle and ring fingers" are used with a
separation or opening of five millimeters between each one
and the movement of the right hand is downward touching
the three strings at the same time with the top of the three
nails.
The sound of the strings that this technique produces is
similar to the sound of the piano.
Its musical sign is:
Photo 142: Open Hand Sign
Photo 143: How to play with an open hand.
Photo 144: Click on the photo and you will hear the
sound of the open hand.
7.1.b) Closed hand technique :
The "index, middle and ring fingers" are used, with the fingers
closed and simulating scratching upwards, touching the three
strings at the same time with the lower part of the three
nails.
The sound of the strings that this technique produces is
similar to the sound of the harp.
Its musical sign is:
Photo 145: Closed Hand Sign.
Photo 146: How to play with a closed
hand.
Photo 147: Click on the photo and you will hear the sound
of the closed hand.
7.1.c) Arpeggio technique :
The "index, middle and ring" fingers are used, and each
finger plays one of the first three strings, one by one in
an ascending or descending manner and gives the
sound effect of a classical harp. It depends on the
chord to know if they are string one, two, three or two,
three, four.
Its musical sign is:
Photo 148: Arpeggio sign.
Photo 149: How to play with the Arpeggio.
Photo 150: Click on the photo and you will hear
the sound of the Arpeggio.
7.1.d) Bass Techniques :
The basses on the guitar are the low notes or strings
number four, five and six, which accompany the rhythm
(techniques a,b,c).
According to its chord, the "thumb, index and middle"
fingers are used. The fingers that play the bass are
those of the right hand when a chord is played with the
left hand. The bass should be played first and then the
chord with rhythm.
There will always be TWO basses that will sound with a
chord and it depends on the chord to decide if it will be
the SIXTH string with the FIFTH, or the FIFTH string
with the FOURTH. Its musical sign is x, y, z, like this:
String #6 = X
String #5 = Y
String #4 = Z
Photo 151: Click on the photo and you will hear
the bass of the sixth string.
Photo 152: Click on the photo and you will hear
the bass of the fifth string
Photo 153: Click on the photo and you will hear
the bass of the fourth string
7.1.e) Pick or Nail Technique:
The pick or nail is made of plastic and is twice as big as
a fingernail. It is held with the "thumb and index"
fingers of the right hand and is used to create a
stronger sound in techniques a, b, c and d. It also
serves to refine guitar solos, with individual notes.

Topic 8: The Alphagram and Musical Symbols.
8.a) What is the Alphagram?
It is a method to read musical notes without having to use
the Staff. It was designed in the Anglo-Saxon system, it is
used by musicians who play guitar or other instruments,
because it is easy to execute when "accompanying" when
playing a song.
Its methodology is to use seven letters of the alphabet, to
which the seven notes of the basic musical scale have been
assigned, which are:
Photo 156: ALPAGRAM
These seven musical letters can be accompanied by the
musical signs that are traditionally placed on the musical
notes in the traditional staff.
8.b) What are Musical Symbols?
Music in general has a very large number of symbols that
accompany the musical notes on the staff, but on this
occasion we will explain only the most basic and common
ones in the use of the guitar to accompany songs.
The most common musical signs are:
Photo 157: The
Sustained
Photo 158: Flat.
Photo 159: Minor.
Photo 160:
Seventh.
Photo 161:
Major Chord
.
Photo 162:

Photo 163:
Opening and Closing of the Compass.
8.c) Explanation of musical signs.
1) On the piano
Photo 164: The piano scale
On the piano the black key is a half tone,
If your main note is D white color the D sharp (D#) is the
bold note up and if we want D flat (Db) the note is the bold
note down.
Photo 165: D Major
Photo 166: Re Sharp.
Photo 167: D Flat.
2) On the guitar
The musical notes in the guitar hexagram have the same
sequence as the piano. After C (C), there is C sharp (C#),
before G (G), there is FA sharp (F#), etc.
On the guitar the sequence is the same, only you have to
take into account, and never forget, the musical notes of each
"open" string, since that is where the order of the musical
notes begins, on each string with its eighteen frets. .
Example 1: The 6th string is E "open", FA is pressing the 6th
string at the first fret; F sharp is by pressing the sixth string
at the second fret; G is by pressing the sixth string at the
third fret.
Example 2: The fifth string is A "open", A sharp is pressing
the fifth string at the first fret; IF is by pressing the fifth
string at the second fret; C is by pressing the fifth string at
the third fret and so on.
Photo 168: The Scale on
the Guitar
One fret is half a tone.
The normal D note is on the FIFTH FRET,
Photo 169: D Major.
If we want to play D sharp (D#) we will go up one fret and
press FRET SIX.
Photo 170: Re Sharp.
If we want to play D flat (Db) we will go down one fret, that
is, the FOURTH FRET.
Photo 171: D Flat.
Topic 9: The Pentagram and its Symbology
Next we will learn the basics about the staff and its
symbology, to understand and read the musical theory of a
score.
9.a) What is the Pentagram?
It is a set of five parallel lines with four spaces between them.
On these lines and between the spaces we will write the
musical notes accompanied by their respective symbols that
will indicate their time, rhythm, and compass.
Photo 172: The Pentagram
9.b) What are musical notes?
They are the figures that are placed on the staff and each
figure has a name defined according to its location on the
staff, which are:
Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si
Photo 173: The Note
Scale
9.c) What are musical figures?
They are those that represent the musical time of the song.
Traditionally there are eight which are:
Square, Round, White, Quarter Note, Eighth Note, Sixteenth
Note, Full Note and Half Note
Each of these figures contains a musical time and is different
in all of them, as seen in the following table:
Photo 174: Figures of the notes and
their Times.
9.d) What are dividing lines?
These musical notes are separated in an orderly manner on
the staff with dividing lines, which are repeated throughout
the staff.
They indicate how many notes of the staff and which musical
notes are within the measure from start to finish repeatedly,
and is graphed with two vertical lines, one at the beginning
and the other at the end.

Pentagram
Topic 10: Let's Learn to Play with Time, Rhythm and
Musical Compass .
In this course to learn how to accompany songs with a guitar,
it is necessary to know what are the musical tempos, musical
rhythms and musical rhythm?, to understand in a more
professional way how to accompany songs with guitar.
10.a) What is TIME?
Time is that musical pattern that tells us the speed of the
music at which you want to play a song.
Example of speed in times: Slow, Moderate, Fast, etc.
Slow: Romantic Songs.
Moderate: Pop Songs.
Quick: Rock or Mexican Corridos.
10.b) What is RHYTHM?
It is that musical genre in which you want to perform a song.
Example of rhythms: Rock, Pop, Cumbia, Salsa, Ranchera,
Bolero, Waltz, Tango, etc.
10.c) What is COMPAS?
The beat is a way of dividing a piece of music into equal
repetitive parts.
Examples of Compasses are: a) 4X4, b) 3X4 and c) 2X4.
etc...
10.c.1.) Four by four time signature:

How to accompany yourself with this compass
Important Note: To do this exercise let's use the E Major
Chord from Lesson 32, photo 200.
The way to play this measure, on a guitar, is first a bass
(strings 6, 5 or 4) and three times the chord, which is the
sound generated by placing the fingers of the left hand in the
middle of the frets, and it is repeated with the second bass
(strings 6, 5 or 4) and the chord three times.

Topic 12: Basic Musical Circles for Accompaniment
What is a Musical Circle?
They are those musical notes or chords that carry a basic
logic of tuned changes, and that are used to accompany
songs in a basic and easy-to-execute way.
For example, they are used under the name "the first of C",
"the second of C", and "the third of C", although in the end,
they are really the basic guitar chords that we have studied in
previous lessons, such as, "the first of C" is C major; "the
second of C" is G Major; "the third of C" is D major.
The way to accompany ourselves with these circles is by
using the "three types of compas" that we studied previously
and that are in lesson 29, topic 10, photos from 176 to 181.
They must use the Bass techniques as seen in Photos 151,
152, 153. in each Circle.
Important Note: Let's practice these circles with the three
measures in order to accompany songs.
