Mrs. Robinson guitar lesson (Simon and Garfunkel)

One of the most famous songs by Simon_and_Garfunkel , a great practice of changing the root of the chords.

  • changing the root of a chord can actually change the chord flavor or even change the meaning or essence of the chord .

change of the root D/C (D chord with the root of C) :

this chord has the same notes of D7 chord but in such an order (inversion) that the C note is the lowest one played,C is the 7th of the D scale and that is why this chord can also be called "D7".

  • changing the root of chord can also be used as a passing to another chord

for example C - C/B - C/A , this is a passing of the lower part (C->B->A) which leads the harmony to back to D (at 01:22).

tuning the guitar


A standard tuning lesson ,



A standard tuning lesson ,
remember to tune the string up to the right note .
anyone can use a tuner ,but I think it's best if you can tune one string from an outside sourfce (tuner ,whisle etc') and tune the rest by ear ,this will give you a good ear training and a better feel for the guitar.
There are quite a few other types of tunings like "Drop D" ,"open G"which will be shown on other posts. Don't own a tuner yet ? Use one or both of these tools :
1 An online tuner http://www.8notes.com/guitar_tuner/
2.A shareware tuner to install on your computer ,all you need is a microphone ... try it out http://www.aptuner.com/cgi-bin/aptuner/apmain.html Machine requirements for running AP Tuner: Pentium compatible CPU, 200 MHz or greater Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME, or Windows XP 32 megabytes RAM 2 megabytes of available disk space for installation Sound card Microphone (or adapter if connecting directly to electric instrument)

how to choose an electric guitar


In order to be a guitarist you first have to choose a guitar (or loan one from a friend ) it’s much cheaper .

Beginners advanced or professionals all have to choose a guitar at least once in life .

•It’s not that easy ,even for pro’s have a hard time choosing one
What to look for :


•Feel

•Sounds

•Features

•Market value


Feel


•When we compare guitars we would consider :

•Neck thickness – thick or thin

•Action –distance between the string and the fretboard,

•Weight – light or heavy (depending on the type of wood ), hold the guitar with your hands and with a strap and check if it’s not to heavy to preform with for a few hours.

•Bridge –easy to move floyd rose

•Try to bend each string –and feel if it’s easy or hard


Brands


•Brands – there are quite a few guitar brands

•Fender, Gibson, Ibanez and many others

•Some might sound and feel better then others ,

•Less known brands are not necessarily worse ,sometimes they are even better.
Custom and signature models
•Custom guitar , is a guitar which it build specially with you characterization

•Signature models , are guitars models which are custom built for famous guitarists . they might be expensive .


Sound
•How it sounds with out an amp ,with an amp

•String shouldn't buzz

•Long sustain

•Stays in tune

•Sound with an amp –balance between clean and distortion (depends on the type of music you play)

•When comparing different guitars try to test them all with the same amplifier to have a true reference.


Features
•Electronics –pickups ,switches and buttons

•Mechanics- bridge ,tuners pickguard


Market value


•There comes a time when a beginner becomes advanced ,and an advanced becomes a pro.

• we might want to sell our guitar

•Make sure you check the prices of new and used guitar models
