Learn How to Play Guitar Online – Easy and Simple Beginner Guitar Exercises

There are many ways to practice on your guitar, but it’s most important, at least after a while, to create your own exercises. However until you reach the stage of practicing with your own exercises, there are a few guitar exercises you should start with, especially if you learn how to play guitar online, without a teacher. So, here are a few basic beginner work-outs that will give you a good platform to build on.

Exercise #1

The first guitar exercise that any beginner should start with, it’s incredibly basic and simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s also less effective. All you need to do is simply to play all the scales on your guitar, stating with the C major scale, coming back to C, then moving to the next scale. Start slowly, then repeat it faster and finish by playing as fast as you can. As I learn how to play guitar online, this type of guitar training really helped me improve my dexterity and speed, and makes a nice warm-up exercise.

Exercise #2

Training your left hand is very important from the beginning, and to build up stamina and dexterity, the best way to practice is to play variations of the chromatic scale. For example, the following basic chromatic scale is great to build on:

e ———————————-1-2-3-4—
B—————————-1-2-3-4———-
G———————-1-2-3-4—————-
D————–1-2-3-4————————
A——–1-2-3-4——————————
E–1-2-3-4————————————

Anyone can practice with this scale at a pace they are comfortable with. Your playing speed should increase slightly with each practice.

Exercise #3

Using all your fingers play just the first four notes on each string, then do this exercise in reverse. After finishing this part, repeat the whole exercise but this time move your first finger down one fret, and repeat it until you have made it all the way down the guitar fretboard. It’s a good thing to use a metronome for this exercise, or just tap your foot it it’s more comfortable. Even after you increase your playing speed, you should still be playing to a beat.

I’m sure these exercises will help any beginner guitarist at least a little, especially if you learn how to play guitar online without attending classes, or without a teacher. These are the exercises I began my guitar practice with and they sure helped me a lot.

I play guitar just for fun, nothing serious. But to improve myself, I’ve been working with an excellent guitar guide that I found on the Internet.
