There are certain things that we need to take care of while purchasing Guitar. Unlike other instruments Guitar is relatively cheap instrument. It is possible to buy any Guitar however it is far more sensible to go to a specialist stockiest.

We need to check the size of the Guitar before purchasing it. Ensure that the fret board is wide enough and body of Guitar should be full sized. If that is fit to your body structure then the most important part to consider is the “tone” of Guitar. You might have to enlist the aid of assistance here. Make sure that it produces very little buzzing sound while playing. Look at the back of the Guitar. It should be divided into two half’s to produce balanced tone.

Next thing we need to take care of is “Action”. The distance between the strings and the fret board should be up to your comfort. Press the string down to check it. Make sure that it should be comfortable to you. This is very important to check as it actually makes Guitar easy or difficult to play. It will be probably easy to play near the head of the Guitar however it is a bit difficult on the 12th fret. Make sure that the back of the fret board is flattened to play it smoothly.

Then we need to consider the technical aspects. Check the tuning keys and try to turn these keys to get the softness. Make sure that the “bridge” of the Guitar is glued properly. Move the fingers on the edges of the fret board and check that there should not be any rough surface that might cause interruption.

Remember every Guitar is different, even those of identical make. Check it up to your satisfaction. It is highly recommended to buy your first Guitar with the assistance of professional as it has a great impact on your learning.

People think that playing guitar is very difficult however, what I think is, we need environment where we can learn it efficiently. I agree that initial phase is difficult because in that phase we normally discover our interest. People leave playing Guitar in first 2 months of learning, as they are short of patience however they forget that nothing can be done overnight. When it becomes our passion, we are masters!

According to my experience, it is not at all difficult to play Guitar. It requires patience. You can meet a lot of Guitar players who can play Guitar however they cannot play with Guitar. This means a lot of people can play different covers of songs however they cannot play their own music as they have not discovered their selves through music.

It is not difficult at all to learn Guitar however it is difficult to play Guitar the way we should. 90 out of 100 people buy Guitar to learn it however 1 out of 100 actually learns it. To learn Guitar we should get the lessons from the trainer, who is not training people to earn money only. Teaching Guitar should be his passion as well.

Many people in this world pick up the Guitar when they see legends playing it however they forget that there is 10-20 years of experience that is making that legend to play Guitar the way they like it. People want to play their favorite songs on the very first day when they pick the Guitar. Some people have the sense of Music from their child hood. We can say that “Sense of music is God gifted”. One can discover music from Guitar if he is competent enough of discovering his self.

There are a lot of players and instruments in this world however everyone has a different essence. This divine universe contains seven tones and these tones give serenity to world. People say! These tones are made of seven eternal forces. According to Bible it is known as inner music. This is why music played by one artist cannot be played the same way irrespective of the fact there are 7 notes only.

According to me Music is a divine power that can change your world. That can make you feel “Nirvana”. You can find a lot of Guitarists in the world however it’s difficult to find a Musician. I feel, even listening to music is an art. Nobody can listen, one kind of music. Everyone has its own taste. Some people are influenced by traditional music and some are not. What I can say, taste of music defines the personality of a human being.

The music of nature is the first step to music of art. Indian music is, in the highest sense, pantheistic; but at the same time it is highly scientific. In India, Aryans are ones who actually felt the eternity in music of nature and then converted it into the melody and the harmony and both combines into a great common mother. They discovered that we can feel music in the murmur of waters, in the roar of the storming ocean, and even in the distant roll of a great city.

Music becomes elixir if it is an overflow from one’s Spiritual Heart.

Meditation is defined as the technique to focus our mind on a single point but till the time we don’t have that single point in our mind we can never meditate and very few people in this world know how to meditate. You can get a lot of articles about meditation on the web but reading and practicing are two different processes. It is very hard to practice the meditation.

According to different scriptures music is an art whose destination and the source is our soul and it has a deep relationship with our mind. Our taste in the music illuminates our essentiality. Music is of different types like (Pop, Rock, Blues, Country, Rap, Classical, Indian classical and so on) and every type has its own nature. This is the reason different people like different kind of music and it clearly defines the essentiality of people.

If we know how to play music we can meditate through the music as every note in music has its own nature and we can focus on the nature of the notes. This will help us to relate our mind with ourselves and we will definitely feel relaxed after playing music.

Any feeling we have can be expressed through music. Artists can play songs of aggression and peace at the same time as they know how to play with their feelings through music but to be on that state we need a lot of practice and patience.

Music can change our life but we just need to practice and feel the real essence of music.
