In these few pages I will guide you through simple steps
from how to hold your guitar to playing your first
chords and strumming a simple song.
Let’s start!
1. Posture
Sit on the edge of the chair with your back straight
making sure your whole body is relaxed, especially your
arms and shoulders. There are two popular ways to hold
your guitar:
 ·
The first one is borrowed from the
classical world where you hold the guitar between your
legs and the headstock is roughly at the same height as
your eyes. Your left foot can be slightly raised on
books, a foot stool or the guitar case.
 ·
The second one is a very common 'folk' way
of holding the guitar where the contour of the guitar's body sits
on your legs when crossed.
