How to Learn and Master Guitar in 30 Days

In order to learn and master guitar in 30 days you will need to really learn the instrument. It is not easy to learn a short time period but you can certainly go through the learning curve.
If you have barely even picked up a guitar before let alone play it then I highly recommend just going at your own pace. It takes a while to really get it down.
Not everybody has 5 or more hours a day to devote to learning guitar. But here is how to do it anyway.
Start out with the basics. Learn how to read tabs. Tabs are the easy way to read guitar music. There is sheet music but that is very complicated at first. Learning how to read tabs does not even take a minute.
Once you learn them you will have the whole internet to learn songs from because there are millions upon millions of tabs for all sorts of songs.
Then once you know how to read tabs you should learn all of the major and minor chord structures. Chords A to G are important to know since they are the basis for all music.
Then you should start playing along with songs and really just play the chords. You should focus on progressing with chord changes. Playing at first will be strange since your fingers will have to adjust.
I know the feeling of wanting to play a fast and difficult song but your fingers do not seem to budge fast enough. Do not worry as you will need to go at your own pace.
Be sure to get your rhythm down by listening to songs. Timing is everything when it comes to music. You need to develop that feel for music in order to master guitar.
These are the basics. Once you have learned and mastered them you will want to move onto more advanced skills like playing by ear. Being able to tell the know a chord just by hearing it is a powerful skill.
Start off deciphering chords and then practice by listening to songs and then playing along. You should know what kind of style of guitar you want to get into as well.
There are so many different styles from hard rock to classical. After going through the basics you should naturally get into your own style by playing along with songs in that style.
Like if you were into classic rock bands like Led Zeppelin then play songs by them. Start learning and practicing movements like hammer ons, slides, and bends to add more volume to your playing.
Learning how to play on your own is a great skill to have and certainly an advanced one. To do this you should have a better understanding of the fretboard.
I recommend learning about chord theory like with the CAGED theory. This is a great concept to tackle when you want to get into playing on your own.
You will know how to play in the key of A or the key of B.
Consistency is important. Practice every day for at least an hour. But actually practice well. Just strumming your guitar will not make you a better player.
