admin Yes, you can play the guitar – easily! Many people who want to try playing the classical guitar fear they aren’t capable of doing so, but I’ve found out that everyone who tries can do it – and I do mean everyone. But it will only work if you keep on practicing, and don’t stop trying!
Define your goal
Anyway you choose to learn, right before you start make a decision that you’ll start learning and you won’t bail out. Define a realistic goal for yourself, and don’t stop trying until you get there. Do make it a realistic goal though – otherwise you’ll get frustrated really soon. For example, don’t set your goal to be something as “playing led zeppelin most crazy solos”. Your next target, as a beginner, should be something achievable and definite, like – “knowing how to play the chords of 3 known songs”. That would be a great goal to try and follow! Now let’s see how we can get it you completing your new goal.

Easy songs to play on Classical guitar…
There are many simple songs to play on the guitar. In fact, most of the songs are easy to play if you just take the chords out of it. So what you need to do now is to find songs that you like, google them for the chords, and see if they use only 3-4 chords in the song. If they do, they are probably easy to play and will be great songs to learn first!
If you’re having trouble finding songs, here’s one to get you started: “Wild Thing” (originally by “The Troggs”). Surely you know how that song goes. You may be surprised to know that you’ll only need 3 chords to play the famous chorus! You will only need the A, D and E chord.
So the next step will be to actually learn these songs… Is it complicated? Not at all. Take the chords you need to learn and have a look at each chord diagram (if you can’t find any , just google “guitar chords diagrams”). Invest 5 minutes per chord for initial practice. Put your fingers on and off, and strum. Then invest another 5-10 minutes to change between those chords, until you can change chords in a reasonable time. When you can do so, you will then be able to play that song! It’s really not that hard, all you have to do is keep practicing until you can change chords easily.
Remember that only constant practicing will get you results… Good luck!
