What is the best way to learn how to play a 12 string acoustic electric guitar?

Answer 1

The technique that is the easiest way to learn guitar is also the technique that has been around the longest. It's the tried and true method of learning popular songs, or portions of songs, right away, in short, focused, and enjoyable lessons. Technical and music theory lesson is delayed until much later lessons when the student has gained a foothold and more importantly, gained confidence.

One on one guitar lessons are the most effective, but can be very expensive. I suggest looking for the right program on the web. However, there are many guitar lessons online, but I would look for one that uses some form of the above method using a very visual system, like video.

Hi. The way I learned, was I went from one chord to another. I suggest that you start with a simple chord progession. Then move to a song like, One by Metallica, then move to a song like The Unforgiven by Metallica. Then start writting your own stuff. Here's a good chord proggression.

Second Finger on the Third Fret 1st string, First finger on the second fret 2nd string, third finger on the third fret on the 5th string, and your forth finger on the Third fret 6th string. Now strum down. You have just played a G sus4.

Second finger on the third Fret 2nd string, First finger on the second fret 3rd string,third finger on the third fret on the 5th string, and your forth finger on the Third fret 6th string. Now strum down. You have just played a C sus4.

First finger on the second fret 4th string, Third finger on the third fret 5th string, and forth finger on the third fret 6th string. Now strum down. You just played a D sus4.

First finger on the second fret 4th string, Third finger on the third fret 5th string, second finger second fret 6th string. Now strum down. You just played a D.

First finger on the second fret 4th string, Third finger on the third fret 5th string, and 6th string is to be played open (no finger on it). Now strum down you just played a weird chord I came up with.

Put them all together and you get a good up beat lick. Hope that helps.

There really is no "best" way, but here are some tips:

Start with an axe that's not a piece of crap and have it set-up by a pro. The better your axe plays and the better it sounds; the more likely you are to spend time with it.

Practice what will make you better- guys sit around and play the same crap all the time and they never get any better so they live in their mom's basement. Practice what you DON'T know- once you know what you didn't know they calls that learnin'.

Prob MOST important- play with other people every chance you get. Ask questions- trade licks- join a band. Besides a smokin' chick magnet- you'll be a well-rounded player.

Good luck and have fun!
