Who Can Play the Guitar?

I really, really love playing the guitar, but I cannot get any of the bar chords right without the buzzing!

The F-chord is just so wrong! It buzzes so much! Any advice?

see this is why I learned bass instead chords are just hard :joy:

As for some advice, ensure you are pushing hard on the strings buzzing is usually caused by not having a hard enough grip

Is it electric or acoustic?

It’s acoustic! I think it might be my placement, which is fine to correct when I’m just practicing a chord on its own. Really hard to correct in the middle of a song :grimacing:

Oh gosh well the best piece of advice anybody ever gave me is if you make a mistake mid song is just stick to the timing and keep playing like “yeah that mistake was planned” :joy:

Sometimes I’ll be in the middle of an mcr song and I’ll buzz a note but it’s so fast you barely notice

I used to play the guitar but got kinda tired with it after about four years. Something just didn’t seem right. I couldn’t get the chords and I needed three while months for the notes to come to me naturally. After, let’s say, a year, I tried the piano a bit and I liked it. I decided to learn a song on it and after a week I played it very good.
Okay, no piano, the guitar! If you like it, I’m sure you’ll get used to it. I just didn’t and gave up, but passion and want is what you need to succeed!

Thank you! I do love the guitar, but I get why you didn’t like it. Not getting the chords can be so disheartening! :grimacing:

How much time have you played it for? You seem really experienced.

Technically? Over a year. In reality? I’ve picked it up for a total of like 3 weeks :sweat_smile:

I can play bass guitar as I have already stated

Where are my bass buds at?

Teach me.

Bump :revolving_hearts:

Haha I wish!

I’m getting there! I still hate barre chords though. Still too slow on them with the occasional buzz. The woes of being self-taught is I have no one to push me or give me tips xD
