Common Mistakes Some Beginner Guitar Players Often Do

Some of the beginner guitar players especially the younger ones are too eager to play their favorite songs once they've learned few guitar chords and be able to achieved the proper strumming style. Well that's good and i feel kind of happy for that because there's an overflowing enthusiasm or passion and i have been like that before also. But we should never get too carried away by mere excitement to play. Remember that sounding right pays after all. Here i have listed some of the common things beginner players often neglect to do.
1. Not learning to tune the guitar or not acquainting your ears to the proper string tone setting.
2. When performing chord positions with open strings like the families of A, C, E, D ranging from first to third fret, the palm often touches the bottom edge of the fretboard thus making it hard for the pressing fingers to established a good chord positioning and that often results to the first string being muted in the process.
3.  Some beginners are often unmindful of those dead strings showed in the chord chart. They tend to touch the dead strings in playing.
4. The strumming fingers isn't positioned at the center of the sound hole.
5. The fingertips at some point is placed at the top of the metal bar itself thus making the string muted.
6. Not applying enough pressing force on the strings to achieve tone clarity.
7. Not mastering the timing of the song and in the process greatly affects the strumming pace and chord shifting process.
8. The guitar is not in the right angle with your lap and the fretboard not inclined upward that makes the pressing fingers difficult to achieve the right pressing position especially in songs with a more faster tempo.
