Do you have a child who wants to make his or her own guitar? You can build a guitar for the kids to play with on a rainy day with just a few simple materials.

Kids truly love playing with these, and they enjoy decorating the boxes just as much. These are a great idea if you take care of a lot of children, or babysit because the kids will stay occupied.

Just throw some newspaper on the table and let them be creative with the paint, markers and glue. Here’s what you need:

• A shoe box
• Seven or Eight Rubber bands
• Some Paint
• Markers

First, take the top from the shoe box, and allow the kids to paint the box in whatever colors they want. After you let the shoebox dry, you will build a guitar by placing the rubber bands around the shoebox.

You want to place them around the smaller width of the box. You should place them all the same width away from each other.

To allow the kids to further build a guitar that they will love, you can let them glue on sparkly accessories, a length of string so they can place the guitar around their neck, or any kind of other decorations they want.

A great idea if you have more than one kid is to make them some other instruments, like homemade maracas, or drums. They will love having a band, or just playing one instrument, and you will love the fact that they’re occupied!

If you don’t like this method, you can get more options at http://www.buildaguitar.net/

You don’t have to be a great guitar player to enjoy all the fun of playing. Sometimes you just need to go with it and have a good time no matter what you sound like.

Online Acoustic Guitar Course for Beginners

We have the biggest selection of guitars for kids. Kids electric guitars & kids acoustic guitars. To browse the latest guitars at their current best prices please go here Guitars For Kids

I was recently involved in a situation that led me to ask if an online acoustic guitar course would be a better way to learn than private lessons. About a year ago my daughter received an acoustic guitar and started taking private lessons. When we first started looking for a guitar instructor, I was surprised at how difficult it was to find one that had any openings. We finally found a pretty good instructor, but it took a couple of months and he could only give lessons on Wednesdays at 10:30 in the morning, and only for 30 minutes. Not only were the lessons expensive ($45.00 each time), but they weren’t long enough and they were at a very inconvenient time. The instructor also had a habit of cancelling at the last minute because something had come up. I soon decided that there had to be a better way.

I went online and searched for an online acoustic guitar course for beginners. I found some courses and was impressed by one in particular called Jamorama. Jamorama was very affordable compared to other courses that I reviewed. The entire course cost less than one session with the private instructor we were currently using.

The Jamorama course is comprehensive all-in-one program that offers you an introductory six part guitar course as a free trial and a 60 day money back guarantee as well. We downloaded our free trial, immediately bought the course and never looked back.

One of the claims made by Jamorama, that I also agree with, is that it can take anyone from the total beginner level to being an advanced guitarist. I have watched my daughter’s playing skills improve. She enjoys her lessons, does not feel the pressure of her instructor’s presence, and goes at her own pace.

Almost half of all students stop their guitar lessons within six months because they either get bored or don’t get the expected results. Jamorama is actually fun to use and the results are quite good. It has been well over six months for us now, and I personally cannot say enough about Jamorama. I feel that Jamorama offers the best online acoustic guitar lessons for beginners that I have seen.

So, if you are tired of spending too much money and want to achieve great online guitar course at the same time, visit my website and take a look at Jamorama. If your interests lie purely in how to learn acoustic guitar, Jamorama also has a program dedicated specifically to acoustic guitar instuction.

Right handed people should learn to play guitar left handed

Wether you are looking for kids electric guitars or kids acoustic guitars we have them all at the best prices on the net. To browse the latest guitars at their current best prices please go here Guitars For Kids

20th Century dictionaries define a guitar as “a stringed instrument played by strumming.”

Today, the guitar can no longer be defined in this way, as the way of playing guitar has changed dramatically. From about the middle of the 20th Century “playing guitar” has evolved tremendously and has risen to vistas totally unimaginable to guitar players before this time.

Key to this was the advent of the electric guitar, and amplification. And with this, came players who took these two things and explored higher realms with them, experimenting with and adding upon earlier efforts and ideas until 50 years later we have what we have today: a much wider perspective of what it means to “play guitar” today.

If you think about it, back in the day before electric guitars and amps, what other way of playing a guitar was there other than “by strumming?” That ridiculous and now defunct dictionary definition came from that time.

In the early days of electric guitar (1920′s and 1930′s), electric guitars were really just glorified miked up acoustic guitars. They were played and treated as if they were acoustic guitars that you didn’t have to hold up next to a microphone any more. Put yourself in the shoes of the people of those times. That would have been incredibly innovative! You can walk two steps with your guitar and still be heard! Wow!

It would be much later, in the 1950s, that a new thing would happen that would totally revolutionize guitar playing and Music as a whole: the invention of the solid-body guitar.

During this primitive era prior to the 1950′s, the guitar was most definitely a right handed instrument built to be strummed with the right hand and chords fingered with the left hand. The theory was that the “strong” arm of the player (being right handed) would be the one to keep the rhythm hence, the task of strumming was for the right hand. You had to keep time with your strums. Left hand technique in those days was limited to managing finger-chords and maybe a few barre chords. By today’s standards, that concept is as limited and outdated as black and white, tube-powered television!

So, what are we talking about here?

Firstly, you need to refresh yourself as to what happened in the 1950′s and 1960′s.

Three major material advances happened: 

The invention of the solid body guitar. With solid body electric guitars such as the Fender Stratocaster and Gibson Les Paul, the electric guitar could no longer be played and heard without an amplifier. Now you needed something more than just the guitar to be heard, and this required new skills to be learned.

 

Advances in amplification were required, and were quickly invented or further improved in order to cope with the necessary volumes required for larger crowds, and larger concerts and festivals. Advances in amplification opened the door to advances in guitar playing: using feedback, sustain, purposefully employed overdrive and distortion. Higher volumes enabled new things to be possible.

 

Experimentation with sound processing created new “effects” such as “wah wah”, “delay”, “echo”, “tremolo”, “phaser”, “flanger”, “compression”, etc. This turned the guitar into an instrument that was now capable, through effects, of producing all new sounds, never even envisioned before. These new sounds also required new skills of the guitarist in order to utilize the full scope of these effects. 

With these material advances came the corresponding new wave of guitarists who were the first to use and experiment with these new things. From the “bubble gum”era of the 1950′s, through the Psychedelic 1960s, and the experimental, drug-induced 1970′s, came the first of the “guitar greats” such as Chuck Berry, Duane Alman, Alvin Lee, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Keith Richard, Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Jeff Beck, Gary Rossington, Dave Gilmour, Steve Jones, Gary Moore, and many, many more. These innovators tried new things and were able to make the guitar do more (or in some cases less) than it had ever been required to “do” before. 

And then there was “lead guitar.” A whole new ball game! No strumming there! Now bands had “lead guitarists” as well as “rhythm guitarists.” New title, new duties, new skills. 

When American guitarist Eddie Van Halen came on the scene with the song “Eruption” in 1978, a whole new world opened up for guitarists. New techniques such as “finger tapping” came to be. Now people used TWO HANDS on the fret board! 

Following that, the 1980′s gave way to a whole new wave of highly-skilled, impressive guitar players, playing the guitar in ways never played before. People like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Randy Rhoads, Jake-E-Lee, The Edge, Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield, Dave Mustaine, George Benson, Robert Smith, and thousands more guitarists took guitar playing to levels even higher than those laid by the guitar greats from the 50′s, 60′s and 70′s. 

During this same time in the 1980′s the “whammy bar” came into it’s own. Floyd Rose and Kahler were two companies that came up with floating tremolo systems that allowed new and more extreme whammy bar techniques without driving the guitar hopelessly out of tune. And new possibilities were created yet again. 

By the time the 1990′s came about, playing guitar was so far above what it meant to play guitar in the pre-electric guitar era that the two concepts had become almost like chalk and cheese. 

The guitar was no longer a “strumming instrument” and hadn’t been for a good few decades and generations! 

And by this, a new fact emerges: to become a really good guitarist today, a right handed person needs to learn how to play guitar “left handed.” This means that the right handed person’s “strong” hand plays the fretboard. This is in direct contrast to the “traditional” teachings that the “strong hand” strums the guitar (and keeps time.) If you want to dazzle people with you skills and play up and down the fret board like a Guitar God, why would you put your “weak” hand to the hardest task? It’s your “strong hand” that should be on the fret board doing the “hard work.” 

And this is direct opposition to how people are generally taught how to play guitar today even though that mentality is totally obsolete. 

To make this very clear: Your “strong” hand needs to be the one on the fretboard. For a right handed person, that is your right hand. For a left handed person it is their left hand. Your “weak” hand should be the one that holds the plectrum. Your “strong” hand is the one that should be playing the fret board!  

There is some proof here easily attainable. Look up the really great guitar heroes and take a look at how many of them are actually left handed people who play guitar right handed. 

The opposite to that would be right handed people who play guitar left handed. 

Right handed people need to learn to play guitar left handed if they want to take guitar playing to levels beyond “strumming. ” PARENTS TAKE NOTE. This rests with you in the main. If your kid wants to become a “great guitarist”, get them a left handed guitar, if they are right handed and give them a right handed guitar if they are left handed. 

Do this and lo and behold: NEW VISTAS OF GUITAR ACHIEVEMENT ARE POSSIBLE. We live in the 21st Century and guitar playing is nothing like it was in the Dinosaur days of the early 20th Century.

My son came to me the other day to say that he and his mate have started learning guitar at school and he would really like to do more guitar lessons. He loves the electric guitar, and would like one of his own so he can play guitar himself.

The two of us embarked on a shopping spree to find the guitar he wanted (So many to choose from…) and then tried to find a decent instructor. If like me you are quite a young and funky Mum (or at least I like to think I am) and have embarked on this exercise with your children you will learn that finding a young and funky music teacher to provide guitar lessons is actually quite hard.

Knowing my child well, and understanding that concentration is not always easy I did not want to waste money on the wrong guitar instructor or guitar tutor so the two of us searched the net to see what alternative guitar teaching options there were to guitar lessons via old and stuffy ways (sorry Music Teachers!)

We found Guitar Superstar which is an on line product offering guitar lessons, one on one guitar tutoring, guitar playing advice by real people (famous guitar players), funky and hip ways to make learning fun for my child.

Music is so important to growth and I was happy to support my child on the journey of electric guitar playing, this is so great because I get to see the learning and my son embarking on the path of becoming a great musician one day.

The ultimate online guitar training program http://www.guitarsuperstars.info

Guitar Superstars, simply the best online guitar teaching program available. I tend to do quite a bit of research to find the good and usefull programs for kids online,and this one is brilliant
