It all starts with the pleasure of discovering a new passion, a hobby, and the incredible joy that results from the first notes and harmonies made with your new instrument. And of course, as a beginner on guitar or bass, you have questions about the first steps and which instrument will suit you best. ? So that you don’t get lost in the maze of musical learning, here are some thoughts on how you can move forward and progress in a structured way. ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Tuning is essential<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Harmony is the basis of your playing. We must therefore keep all strings tuned to take full advantage of this! You can use a digital tuner<\/strong><\/a> for this, a tuning fork, or even an app. It is important to note that the strings are not only tuned at the start of your session or rehearsal, but that they are checked regularly during the session. The side effects are also positive: When you tune, you train your hearing and learn the names of the strings and the notes on the different frets.<\/p>\n

2. Divide your time and respect the minimum daily workload<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To progress well, regular training is inevitable. This will be more effective than training for hours on one day and not at all on the other days. Better to practice regularly, 30 minutes per day, for example, and to divide this time into different stages:<\/p>\n
