How can I avoid hitting open strings when playing guitar?


I have thought it was a practice sorta thing but I've been trying to solve the problem for months now. I have come to think that it is an error with my technique. Are there any pointers you could give me on how to avoid making open string notes (left or right handed problem) when I play.

I do "shredding," fast picking fast notes on multiple strings, i use major scales when I do so.

PRACTICE SLOWLY SLOW FASTER THEN MASTER

Choosing the Best Guitar Lesson DVD

Most guitar DVDs will teach you the basics, but the basics can vary among guitar playing styles. If your goal is to play rock and popular songs, a classical guitar DVD won't help you too much. Classical guitars have a wider neck and larger spaces between the strings. The picking technique is much different, not to mention the music itself may not appeal to you at all. Even if the teacher is fabulous, it's not worth your money if it's not what you want to do. If you want to learn the acoustic guitar to accompany your church group or just have sing-alongs in your home, you don't need a DVD that will teach you the most popular riffs on an electric guitar. You need to look carefully at the descriptions to find the best guitar lesson DVD to suit your style.

Another thing to consider is your ability level. If you already have some basic knowledge and can play a few things, you don't need a guitar DVD that teaches the same basic notes over and over like you were a total beginner. If you are a total beginner, though, you don't want to watch guitar videos that are geared to a more experienced player. You will be lost and probably frustrated trying to learn quickly and catch up. Also consider the teacher's personality. The best guitar lesson DVDs features an instructor who enjoys teaching and who understands the process of learning the guitar.

Next important thing is changing the octave while playing the chords or even while the playing the lead guitar. Fingering is important in these aspects too and minor mistakes can produce major embarrassment for the guitarist. Hence, for the finger placement to be perfect one should clearly see where one has to place his or her fingers while changing the octave and how to attain the deftness for doing so.

Guitar Lesson – 3

Wonderful Tonight (beginner acoustic chords used - G D C E Minor)

Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight is a great beginner song because it uses mainly a few notes and has a really easy guitar rift thrown in for a manageable challenge. Beginners will find this a great song to start practising on because of the right amount of challenge in playing it. The song also requires some simple string bending techniques and will allow newbies to have a bit of fun.

Smoke on the Water (beginner acoustic G pentatonic scale)

This is one of the songs that new guitarists who use electric guitars will jump on board with because of its well-known guitar rift. On top of that, Smoke on the Water is a guitar classic that even the more seasoned guitarists will still play with their own style. The popular guitar rift is done with a G pentatonic scale.

Johnny B. Goode (beginner acoustic chords needed - A D E)

All you "Back to the Future" fans will know this very well with Michael J. Fox performing this with the Starlighters in the movie. The awesome part about this song is that with very simple techniques, this song can sound really impressive if you are performing for some family or friends. The "12 bar blues" chord progression is relatively easy to learn because it is just centered on A D and E chords.

Beginner acoustic guitar playing is not the easiest thing to learn but can be immensely rewarding. No doubt it will take some time before you can achieve some level of competence to play more songs but all you need is a strong foundation in the basics. The internet is a new way aspiring guitarists can find cheaper self-taught guitar courses that have proven to be highly effective.
