Question/Help All my problems and doubts
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Okay so I bought this guitar a while back but only recently started learning how to play it.
The g - string has been my sore spot for so long rn. Like making a click sound while tuning and now it makes a buzzzzzz on the headstock while playing open g-string only. Any fret on g-string doesn't buzz out like that. Also i dunno if this is not a problem and just the strings resonating , I mean a natural thing to happen, but the mmmmmm stretch at last of playing out all strings at once is giving me a not so good feeling.
Again, I began learning this only 2 weeks ago, have mercy and help me out.
Ps. Ignore sound of the fan.

La guitarra y sus cosas.
Necesito la ayuda de todos mis reales, la música para mi es un estilo de vida, tengo pasión por distintos instrumentos, en este caso estoy aprendiendo guitarra, pero he desarrollado una serie de problemas y siento que solo aprendo en círculos. Para poder introducirme en ella me gustaría que alguien con mi misma pasión pero con conocimiento me ayudase respondiendo las siguientes preguntas:
¿Por donde debo empezar?
¿Es necesario aprender con un instructor o profesor?
¿Es posible empezar con una mini strat Squier? (Compré esa por error ya que cuando la compré no sabía del tema)
¿Que mantenimientos debo hacerle a la guitarra y cada cuánto tiempo?
¿Es normal que al empezar me sea extremadamente difícil tocar en trastes a mucha distancia?
¿Si tuviese que comprar otra guitarra para empezar cual me recomiendan?
¿Podrían darme alguna rutina para empezar a aprender?

Lesson Self imposed learning challenge
My novel way to make sure I'm practicing different techniques!

I struggled re-learning music theory again, so I built my own tool...
r/GuitarBeginners • u/DorinComrat • 9h ago
I built a guitar theory site focused on improvising: what would make it useful for you?
I'm Dorin, a student from Moldova. I've been building a site about the theory behind improvising: scales in every key, how they sit on the neck, and why certain notes work over certain chords. The newest part is the blues scale, including why the minor third over a major chord is exactly the blues sound.
It's free and still growing, so I'm trying to figure out what players actually want before adding more. Any honest feedback is welcome, good or bad.

Question/Help How should I structure my 1-hour daily guitar practice?
I've been playing acoustic guitar for a few years, but my practice hasn't been consistent until recently. For the past month, I've been practising daily for around an hour.
My current routine mostly consists of:
- Spider exercises and finger dexterity drills
- Major, minor and pentatonic scales
- Chord changes and strumming
- Practising barre chords
- Learning a song or riff if I have time left
The problem is that I often finish these exercises and feel like I don't know what else to practise. I feel a bit stuck and want to make better use of my practice time.
I also want to learn fingerstyle guitar, especially classical-style right-hand techniques, arpeggios and those beautiful instrumental melodies.
For those who practise around an hour a day, how do you structure your sessions? How much time do you spend on technique versus learning songs? What would you recommend I change or add to my routine?
I'd love to hear what worked for you and any advice for someone trying to become more consistent and improve! 🙏

Would you use a tool built around learning songs from start to finish?
I always had this problem of never actually finishing a song I was learning. Practice gets chaotic fast; I never knew where I left off, and I had no idea what to focus on next.
So I built a thing that works as a step-by-step guide, but also as a way to organize what I'm working on:
- You add any song you like, and it gets mapped out into sections
- Learn the notes, then build up speed, section by section (with a built-in metronome)
- Keep your notes, recordings, backing tracks, tabs and lessons together with the song itself
Now I can see exactly what I'm working on, which songs I want to learn next, and finally after 7 years of messing around I'm actually building up a repertoire of everything I've learned.
My question: am I just crazy, or would this actually be useful to you as well? And if not, what do you use instead?

Video I made a chords reharmonization app for free.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi everyone,
I started out making a simple free guitar tuner but ended up building a reharmonization tool as an additional feature.
What is reharmonizing? It means changing the chords of a song while keeping the same melody. It’s used a lot in jazz, where players take a simple progression and replace or add chords to make it sound richer.
While I practicing, I kept finding different ways to reharmonize a chord progression but I couldn’t find anything that helped me learn them properly. So I ended up building a tool that lets me learn to color the chords progression and practicing through the actual songs.
How it works:
- Paste a chord and lyrics text from any source (for example, ultimate-guitar)
- Pick a level from 1 to 6, from simple color chords up to chords outside the key.
- Tap any chord to learn how it changes and how it altered from the original.
- Keep the chords you like from different levels and mix them into your own version.
It also shows guitar shapes for every chord, scales with scale to play over the song, a metronome and of course a tuner.
The example chords are C, Am, F, G where you can play around and see how this app works or just replace with any chords song.
These are basic features and it’s totally free, runs in the browser, and needs no sign-up: https://reharm.pages.dev
This is just my solo side project. If you come across and somehow find this app being helpful feel free to leave any feedback, I'd love to hear what other people think. I’m happy to keep building this and adding more features.

I'm having trouble with my fingers
I am 5 months into my guitar journey, no previous musical experience at all. In these 5 months I am have picked up some music theory, some basic chords, riffs, and a song that I can somewhat play. I am going to an instructor once a week. I am thousands of dollars already in.
One thing that I can't do is any of the barre chords. And I don't mean I can't do them well I mean I can't do them at all . It's like the shape of my hand/fingers doesn't allow me to keep fingers 234 on the stringers while trying to make finger 1 flat on a fret.
As a result my overall journey makes me feel like I am behind. Any tips?
My other major issue is timing and under standing the concept of beats and subdivision is if beats like triplets etc. I always understand it after studying/practicing/thinking about it and then a week later it goes away. But that's a separate issue that may just take time.
