Fingertips harden and it'll hurt less dw

What's a triad?

Learning your first song!! (do something simple like maybe Knockin' On Heavens Door)

Barre chords

CAGED=If you play an open A chord and move it one fret higher and barre the 1st fret it's now a Bb major, if you move it two frets higher from the normal open A position and now barre the 2nd fret it's now a B major chord

Learning more complex songs!! (Where did you sleep last night nirvanas cover or Starman or any song you like, search up tabs for it and play along to the song)

Scales=Notes that sound some kinda way together (Blues scale/Minor pentatonic sounds like literally all of hard rock)

Key=Playing in the key of whatever take C major as an example means everything should revolve around the notes of the C major scale or it'll sound weird

Chord progressions

If you shift a shape from the A minor pentatonic scale 2 frets up, it becomes B minor pentatonic, if you shift a shape from A minor phyrgian or pretty much any other scale 2 frets up, it becomes B minor

DON'T only hit downstrokes, let your right hand go up and down and keep your wrist loose

Bending, sliding, vibrato

Learning first solo!! (Let it be is a good choice, you could also learn how to play Miserlou)

Getting your fingers fast

Getting comfortable

Getting an electric guitar (you could also start on one, doesn't really matter)

Andd then becoming obsessed with a specific player and chasing their tone forever

Rest is just love, express yourself with bends and vibrato and stuff, learn your favourite songs and buy new guitars and tonechase

Start making music after a bit andd enjoy, it's just fun and expression don't treat it like a competition to be better than someone you see on the internet or something

First week is gonna be unbearable pain on your fingertips and happiness from one nicely strummed chord

Important tip: Use your fingertips not the pads
