leehos Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Hey this isn't really a topic...just a question.. Ok i play piano jazz and everything and i know all the chords now is there any relation to the quitar?? Is it set up in a logical similar way as a keyboard, like the string and positions? I have no idea i am thinking of trying it. You could reply in this forum or you could just email me at bananaman787@aol.com. I only enter this forum once o twice a week so an email i'd get quicker :0) thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 The same theory you learned on the piano will apply to the guitar. However, you will have to learn all the positions for the chords on guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you try to think of it like a piano it's probably going to be weird for you. Approach it like a beginner, get basic technique out of the way, then think of the guitar as either the left hand part or the right, but probably not both simultaneously. Or if you must, think of the bass/wound strings as the lower keys and the unwound keys as the higher keys. Learn all of your basic block chord voicings - it should be self-explanatory if you understand it on piano. ------------------ New and Improved Music Soon: http://www.mp3.com/chipmcdonald Guitar Lessons in Augusta Georgia: www.chipmcdonald.com Eccentric blog: https://chipmcdonaldblog.blogspot.com/ / "big ass windbag" - Bruce Swedien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott from MA Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Originally posted by leehos: Is it set up in a logical similar way as a keyboard, like the string and positions? Yes, there IS a relation between guitar and keys... each fret is a half-step. In fact, when I teach people guitar, I begin by showing them how a keyboard is set-up. It's much easier for them to understand the concept of "half-steps" and "whole-steps" (as they realte to sharps and flats) on a keyboard. A beginner can easily visualize the blacks and whites... but a guitar neck just looks like wood. Teaching keys to guitar students sounds crazy to a lot of people, but consider this: I know other teachers whose beginner guitar students have difficulty remembering "there is no B-sharp" when they are "counting" their way up the neck... my students have no problem because they know there's no black key between B and C. It also makes it a lot easier for them to understand "root-third-fifth-etc" when we start building chords. Well... I'm sure that's more than you wanted to know. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Sorry for not e-mailing you, but (as Rick pointed out) this is a FORUM.
