Since early times we have regarded music as a way to relax. There were times when only a few privileged individuals had the opportunity to play a musical instrument. Those days are long gone and anyone who wishes so can learn how to play the piano, the guitar, the violin or any other instrument of their choice.
A professor can teach you the right way to play the guitar and under his guidance and experience you can excel to a professional level if you have talent and ambition. If you start from a young age, the right teacher can inspire you in such a way that you will never want to quit playing the instrument.
If you only want to learn to play an instrument as a hobby you should know that it is possible. Many guitar owners are self-taught and they did it for fun. If you love music you should even be able to create songs on your own.
Before you can get to the practicing part you need to learn the component parts of the instrument. It is not difficult and it will help you down the line. It is essential that you learn the correct way to hold the guitar. If you do not find a comfortable position that allows you to play without getting tired, you will lose interest very soon. You need a chair with an armrest and no arms. Take a seat making sure at the same time that your back is resting against the backrest of the chair. Do not hunch your back. Place the guitar on your leg as its back is flat against your chest. Your left hand should hold the instrument's neck which has to be parallel to the floor. Your right elbow can rest on the guitar so your hand can move easily up and down the strings. Take the pick and strum the guitar a few times until you feel it natural.
It could work in your advantage to know a little music theory. It is not necessary to know the notes you are playing if you are just learning for fun but if you want to be able to write your own songs you have to know these things. The first thing you should play on the guitar is chords and you can get them from the internet. Practice until your left hand's fingers are able to move easily in the correct position. Only then you are ready to learn your first song. You should find chords for a song that is easy to play. After a few more songs you will be able to play that song you adore the most and you will feel very proud of your endeavor.
