I have heard people say that you want to start learning to play the guitar on the acoustic rather than the electric. What ever you learn on you need to start with fundamentals as building blocks. Learning on your own you tend to learn bad habits that are hard to brake down the road, causing many guitar players to hang it up to it being to hard learn. There are several reasons that lead to people to quit the guitar.
Here is a list

1. Learning bad habits in the beginning,

2. Fingers hurting from pressing on the strings

3. NOT being PATIENT and PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE

The more you practice the easier your learning will become. Try to practice at least 30 minutes a day to build muscle memory.

Playing Rhythm Like The Masters: James Hetfield


by Andrew Szucs of GuitarTricks.com









Instructor: Andrew Szucs

Speciality: Rock, Metal

Website: GuitarTricks.com

This lesson teaches you how to play rhythm guitar in a style similar to James Hetfield of Metallica.
Hetfield's style incorporates a lot of downstroke picking, palm mutes, simple chord voices and single note riffs.

The chords used here are simple "power chords" that you might hear in a lot of songs. What makes them Hetfield-ish is the ornamentation
in between chords. A lot of the ornamental notes and chords are "outside" the scale. This gives the riff that dark metal sound.


Even so, this progression doesn't really sound like Metallica in the slow version that starts the lesson, where we explain the fingerings.
For that, you'll need to wait for the full speed demonstration. When
the synchronization of the distorted guitar and the drums come together to give that classic
metal sound, you can see how note choice alone is not the whole style.

This lesson is part of a series that includes profiles of Tony Iommi, Ritchie Blackmore, and others.
