Cons and pros of self-study
pros
- No one makes a program for you, you are completely left to yourself. You can teach what you want, learn what you want - and are generally left to your own devices;
- Often video lessons give all the same information as teachers in music schools, but for free. You literally won't spend a dime on self-study;
- Many teachers will not be able to explain to you how this or that musical genre works - and in any case you will have to explore it yourself.
Minuses
“Even though it’s free, this process will take much longer to learn. The reason is simple - no one will show you how to do it and not to do it, you will reach everything on your own. Especially if you do not use various online lessons and video courses in the learning process;
- As a rule, the program selected by the teacher will be designed for your level of play, and will be as comfortable as possible for you. What can not be said about self-study, when you choose what to learn on your own;
- In addition to technical points, you will gradually be given various musical theory - which is also very important for the competent development of playing skills.
How to Succeed in Guitar?
- Exercise regularly. Constantly set aside at least a couple of hours to work out - work out exercises, remember boxes, scales and phrases. Regularity is one of the main criteria for future success;
- Keep learning new songs. And it's not just about composing on acoustics - learn various songs in electricity, solo, and more - and constantly complicate the material being analyzed.
- Take your time. Always start at a slow pace - and don't chase speed. Remember that the main thing in this matter is that technique is the most important criterion. Watch your hand placement, the purity of the performance of the song and the correctness of the game. Learn to play slowly and building up speed won't be a problem.
- Learn music theory. This is important in order not to get lost when improvising and writing your own songs. In addition, it greatly increases your internal library of musical phrases. Not only will you be able to listen to the songs, but you will also be able to understand how they work.
- Learn different playing techniques. Busting, fighting, if we are talking about an electric guitar - then tapping, sweep, turntables. Constantly learn something new, do not get stuck on the same.
- Memorize and learn chords and their fingerings. Do not get stuck on the first three frets - go further, because even there you can set the desired positions, changing the sound and harmony of your compositions. This will help a lot in songwriting and improvisation.
What to do after mastering all the basics?
The answer is very simple - keep learning. Keep watching the lessons, complicate all the exercises and move. Ideally, if you started learning on your own, find yourself a teacher in order to hone your skills and bring them to a whole new level. Constantly learn something new - because in the field of guitar it is impossible to reach the top when there is nowhere to go.

Explanatory noteIn adolescence, interest in such an instrument as the guitar is especially pronounced. Playing the guitar and in an ensemble is the most widespread form of active introduction to music. In connection with the popularity of this type of art, a social order has been formed for fast and high-quality training.
Traditional methods of learning to play the guitar are not effective enough to work in a club. The requirements for filling involve classes in groups, and not individually, which reduces the speed of learning. All interested children are accepted into the club, the recruitment of teenagers to the association is carried out without special selection. The level of development of musical abilities sometimes comes down to the level of inclinations.
The novelty of the methodology lies in the use of modern computer technologies, teaching methods that contribute to the musical and creative development of adolescents, taking into account their individual capabilities, abilities, and the safety of the contingent:
- selection of works taking into account the interests and hobbies of pupils.
- learning tablature, the most convenient recording for learning melodies
- mastering the musical computer program "Guitar pro" for learning the parts in the ensemble
Goal and tasks
Target: accelerated learning to play the guitar through the use of Guitar Pro software
Tasks:
- learn to work with the Guitar Pro program
- develop an inner ear for music, a sense of rhythm, the ability to improvise and be creative
- cultivate diligence, perseverance, independence, responsibility, ability to work in a team
Psychological and pedagogical explanation of the specifics of the perception and development of educational material by students in accordance with age characteristics
Features of this age are associated with the peak of puberty. This is the period when there is a desire to break out of the control of adults and assert oneself as a person. At this time, the teenager needs communication among peers, which leads the teenager to the company, sometimes unfavorable. At this moment, the effectiveness of group classes is manifested, where the children are brought together by common interests, common causes, there is an opportunity to realize their strengths, to express themselves precisely in the creative field. Thinking becomes more organized. It is characterized by a transition to the highest level of development - theoretical, formal-logical. Thinking in concepts becomes the main core of cognitive development at this age: abstract concepts are being formed that make it possible to reveal deeper connections between objects and phenomena of reality, to know the patterns that govern reality.
A distinctive feature of adolescence is an internal attraction to creative embodiment, an internal tendency to productivity, this manifests itself in the form of composing poems, songs, diaries, etc., in creating a kind of love ideal.
The fantasy of a teenager is more creative than that of a child, although less productive than that of an adult.
What is essentially new in the development of fantasy in the transitional age lies precisely in the fact that the adolescent's imagination enters into close connection with thinking in concepts, it becomes intellectualized, included in the system of intellectual activity and begins to play an entirely new function in the new structure of the adolescent's personality.
We can say that the creative images created by the fantasy of a teenager perform the same function for him that works of art perform for an adult. This is art for itself.
The free participation of all and the stimulating atmosphere of preparation for the struggle awaken ingenuity, humor, even among those students who seemed not to have them. Many show themselves as organizers: students, as a rule, select performers themselves and establish the procedure for summing up, find the necessary materials. Conducting such games turns out to be not just entertainment for students, but one of the most exciting things.
Their disposition to improvisations is very noticeable. For example, in the first year of study, in order to convey the nature of a piece of music or some image, they try to theatricalize their performance. And in the third year of study, when the guys have already mastered the basic course and worked out the playing technique, they are happy to improvise in solo parts, compose melodies and songs themselves.
However, the inability to realize one's creative potential, to translate one's ideas into reality, can lead to the manifestation of other qualities characteristic of this age period, such as stubbornness, selfishness, isolation, withdrawal into oneself, outbursts of anger. Therefore, it is so important to take care of the spiritual world, the manifestation of the feelings of adolescents.
The creation of conditions for creativity, the possibility of discovering something new for creative search and self-expression, as social factors, play an important role in the development of the creative abilities of adolescents. They (these conditions) can either slow down, block creativity, or contribute to its manifestation.
throughout the educational process, children learn not only professional skills, but also the ability to make friends, help each other, respect and appreciate both themselves and others, and most importantly, love each other, love beauty, love their homeland. patriotic personality is important and necessary today. Therefore, a lot of attention in the program is given to Russian, Soviet and modern Russian music.

Conceptual Foundations
Work with teenagers in the musical association "Sounding Strings" is based on general humanistic and artistic and pedagogical principles:
- The principle of humanization. The personality is brought up by the personality. Humanistic pedagogical interaction provides for the personal growth of the teacher and students, their joint personal development, the creation of favorable conditions for the identification and cultivation in each child of individually specific elements of general and special giftedness.
- The principle of harmonization of personality and environment. The development of interests, abilities, the formation of a personality that will be in unity with the world, people and with oneself.
- The principle of activity and consciousnessIt is expressed in the fact that it is necessary to accustom the child to posing questions, both to the teacher, and for an independent answer and solution.
- The principle of visibilityis based on the peculiarities of the development of the child's thinking, which develops from the concrete to the abstract. Visualization increases the child's interest in knowledge and makes the learning process easier.
- The principle of accessibilityIt is expressed in the need to take into account the age and individual characteristics of students in the learning process and the inadmissibility of its excessive complexity and overload, in which mastering the material being studied may be unbearable.
- The principle of systematic and consistentlearning provides students with a deep understanding of the logic and system in the content of the acquired knowledge, as well as systematic work on repetition, systematization and generalization of the studied material.
- The principle of the strength of training and its cyclicityassumes that the child completes a full cycle of educational and cognitive actions in the process of learning: he perceives and comprehends the educational material, memorizing it and repeating it.
- The principle of motivationthe development of intrinsic motivation involves the awareness of the need for learning for later life, the process of learning as an opportunity for communication, praise from significant people, the desire to be in the spotlight.
- The principle of educational, developmental and educational functions of training:
- careful preparation of the teacher for classes, selection of material;
- the choice of such teaching methods that would activate the thinking of children;
- the connection of theory with practice, learning with the productive work of students, the formation of their views and beliefs.
- Principles of interaction:
- at the level of the relationship between the teacher and the teenager in the process of classes;
- interaction of students as partners in creative activities.

Description of Guitar Pro
Guitar Pro Software well known to guitarists all over the world. The amazing possibilities that this program gives for a musician cannot leave indifferent even the "old people" who cannot master modern computer technologies in any way.
What is the program?
Guitar Pro is a notation and tablature editor designed for guitarists. This program has become widespread due to the fact that there is a huge library of almost all guitar music on the Internet. Unlike other music editors, which are mainly designed for the printing of musical text, Guitar Pro gives the maximum visual understanding of the guitarist's playing.
The guitarist can see, as standard notes, a tablature indicating which frets it is necessary to take certain notes, and the guitar neck is shown where these notes are reflected. The program introduced the RSE function, which gives an exceptional sound for such programs. A set of notes can be carried out both from a midi keyboard (or a guitar synthesizer), from a regular computer keyboard, or with a mouse, indicating the notes on the guitar fretboard. Set up is quick and easy.
To study well-known pieces, you can slow down the tempo and simply analyze all the nuances of the virtuoso playing bar by bar.
The Guitar Pro interface is quite simple and easy to use. At the top of Guitar Pro is the main, so to speak, remote control for working with the program, on which there are various buttons, such as clef signs, reprises, note duration, tablature tempo and others. Also, all in the same upper part of the program, there are a guitar neck and a piano keyboard, on which, during the playback of tablature, pointers run, indicating which string, keys on which fret, to take in a given beat.
In the middle part of the program, there is a musical and tablature staff, in which the set and editing of the tablature itself is carried out. At the bottom of the program GuitarPro guitar effects and a track panel are located, for creating a part for several instruments, such as bassguitar , percussion and many others.
Capabilities:
- Multi-track recording of guitar, bass guitar parts in the form of tablature, simultaneously with the creation of tablature, a record corresponding to the tablature is created in the notes;
- A powerful MIDI note editor that allows you to use Guitar Pro not only for guitarists;
- Builder of tablature parts of percussion instruments;
- Adding lyrics and linking it to the notes of tracks with vocals;
- Powerful built-in builder and determiner of guitar chords;
- Export of created scores to various graphic and text formats, printing;
- Import from MIDI, MusicXML and others, export to MIDI, WAV;
- A virtual guitar neck and piano keyboard that displays the currently playing notes. They can also be used to create and edit guitar parts;
- Built-in metronome, guitar tuner, track transposition tool;
- Lots of instruments to reproduce in notes and in sound the playing techniques typical for the guitar;
Working with Guitar Pro
After loading, there will be a white field with six horizontal lines - this is the designation of the strings, the first is on top, the second is on the bottom, and all together this is called a track.
As a rule, the composition consists of consonance of many musical instruments (guitar, bass guitar, drums, etc.). Each instrument produces sounds, the order of reproduction of these sounds on the working field is indicated by a number of numbers (frets) on six horizontal lines (strings), this is the track, it should be noted that for each instrument it can be only one.
Below, on the left, there is a window, "track properties", here the track number, title (by clicking on the title, you can change it), instrument (it can also be changed in
any time, for example, to replace an acoustic guitar with an organ, and so on), here you can also change the volume, balance, etc.
Above the working field are toolbars with shortcuts:
- Standard. Create, open, save.
- Settings. Here they change the settings of the program itself, that is, the appearance, the launch of music on boot, etc.
- Print, preview, cut and copy.Here the program asks from which measure, at which it is necessary to insert, add a track
- Change sound settings.Here you can change the instrument, volume, balance, etc.
- Tact. Each composition is characterized by the organization of sounds in time. At the same time, the obligatory quality of sounds is their forceful selection - accentuation or not accentuation. The periodic alternation of strong and weak sounds, perceived by our ears, makes it possible to divide a piece of music into parts. These parts are called measures, the border of the measure in the working field (as well as on the stave) is marked by a vertical line - a bar line.
- Measure size. The time signature is indicated by two numbers, which are written one below the other. The top number indicates the number of beats, and the bottom number indicates the length of each beat. Open/close reprise. Mark the places from where and to where you want to repeat the playback.
- Rearrange views.Rearrange the field "track properties" above / below the working field.
- Note duration.Note duration is indicated here. The basis for determining the duration of sounds is a conventional unit of time, for example, one or several seconds. Sounds of various durations are recorded using notes that have a different look. Let's take one second as a conventional unit of time.
- Whole note. The duration of a whole note is measured in four conventional units of time - therefore, it is equal to four seconds (the METRON is responsible for tapping these conventional units in Guitar Pro), it is depicted as an oval circle.
- Half note. The duration of a half note is half as long as a whole note - therefore, it will be measured by the count "one, two". So the count of "one, two, three, four" accounts for two half notes. A half note is represented by an oval circle with the addition of a vertical stick (stem).
- Quarter note. The duration of a quarter note is half as long as a half note, that is, it is equal to one count, which means that four quarter notes will fall on the count of "one, two, three, four". A quarter note is represented by a black oval circle with the addition of a stem.
- Eighth note. The duration of the eighth note is half as long as the quarter note, which means that on the count of "one, two, three, four" - eight eighth notes. The eighth note is represented by a black oval circle with the addition of one tail (flag) to the stem.
- Sixteenth note. "One, two, three, four" - sixteen sixteenth notes. It is depicted as a black oval circle with the addition of two flags to the calm.
- Thirty-two. Similarly. Depicted as a black oval circle with the addition of three flags to the calm.
- Sixty-fourths. Similarly. It is depicted as a black oval circle with the addition of four flags to the calm.
- Playback. Play from the beginning, the current measure, from the current position, go to the beginning, to the end, one step back / forward (play the previous / next sound (note)) loop playback (after the end of the melody, it will sound from the beginning), metronome.
- Pace. It is possible to decrease/increase the playback tempo.
The "File" menu has two buttons "Export" and "Import". You can export and import both Midi files and ASCII tablature.
- Export. When exporting, the recording made in the GP is saved in Midi format (all tracks are exported, and a full-fledged Midi file is obtained) or ASCII tablature (they are opened by any Windows text editor).
- Import.
When importing Midi files, a window will pop up in which you can listen to all the tracks, each one individually. Importing is possibly the fastest method, GP will simply transfer each track from the Midi file and correctly determine the pitch, sound duration. And also in step-by-step mode, title, tracks (one at a time), and you can also import several tracks into one.
Between the "Bookmarks" and "Sound" buttons is the "Helpers" button, by clicking on which a number of useful functions appear:
- Speed trainer.Allows you to work out a new fight or more accurately pick up the pace.
- Transpose. Allows move notes by one or more semitones.

Progress, in addition to constantly finding more and more new activities for people who have freed themselves from the need to produce food, also allows us to make significant progress in organizing the process of learning to play the guitar. It is worth saying here that with the help of modern gadgets and applications, both technology and theory can be developed.
Let's take a look at 5 applications, some of which did not even exist as physical devices some 50 years ago and which are now available to literally every musician. I hope many of them are familiar to you, but if not, be sure to add them to your arsenal for classes.
#1 Advanced metronome.
Now just a metronome can't surprise anyone anymore, they are built into tuners or used as an application on the phone. Some inventive musicians go further and offer not just metronomes, but full-fledged ones at not very biting prices. Separately, there are various applications for iPhone / Android, which have already accumulated from several dozens, if not hundreds.
Just practicing with a metronome can get boring very quickly, so you can use an app or device that can perform more complex patterns. And then just try to use the idea, oh:
- Start at a slow tempo with the metronome playing sixteenth notes. Play a rhythmic pattern or riff, and since the sixteenth notes are constantly playing, it will be enough for you to simply navigate the time.
- Switch the metronome to playing eighth notes. The task for you should be a little more complicated if you play a pattern built on sixteenths. But there will still be enough supporting eighth notes, so you will feel comfortable enough.
- Switch to quarters. Now it will be even more difficult for you to keep pace, but you just need to try.
- Try with half notes and then whole notes. If the metronome can't do that, just use quarters and a tempo two or four times slower.
With a metronome that can play different beats, you can develop your inner sense of rhythm according to the proposed scheme or come up with some of your own. For example, turn on one share of a triplet to another sixteenth notes and try to play the scale in the same pattern, and then also switch to quarters.
#2 Programs for slowing down music
#3 video editing/video chat software
There are just some insane amounts of irradiating video available online now. There is, of course, outright garbage, but there are also a lot of good video schools ().
Now, if you don't understand some part of the video, you can always load it into the video editor and play it around until you get bored. 20 years ago, this would have had to wipe the video cassette to holes, 50 years ago it was impossible at all, since there were no video schools or VCRs.
I added skype-type video chats here just because they are also related to video, but in fact just a new tool for communication with the teacher no matter where you are. That is, you can study both with your friend from the next entrance, and with Greg Howe or Frank Gambale, here what is the budget - such is the plot.
I consider it one of the best tools for developing a musician. Portable studios appeared massively in the eighties, but they were quite expensive. With a complete transition to digital and an increase in the power of computers, you can record a song at home.
With a DAW, you can write your game during class so that you can later point out your mistakes or take it to a friend or teacher for review. In a DAW, you can use plugins to slow down, use different ones, make backing tracks or demos, shoot songs and record your covers right there with the help.
But the most interesting thing is that sound recording is becoming more and more mobile. See what you can already do with just Garage Band on iPad and a small audio interface
5. Band-in-a-Box
At some point, for every musician, there comes a time when you need to learn how to play songs. This is quite easily solved now, since for almost all known guitar compositions you can easily find a backing track.
If you don’t have much to do with backing tracks, but at the same time you are not strong in writing your own backing tracks with the help of DAW, Band-in-a-Box becomes the best and in fact the only tool for you.
The application is available for PC or MAC platforms, as well as a version for the iPhone.
The main value of Band-in-a-Box is that it is really a group inside your computer. All you need to do is select the style in which your composition should sound and set the chords (this step can be skipped), an arrangement will be generated for you immediately. The application uses the MIDI sounds of your sound card, so the sound will not be very good, but no one bothers you then export the result to a MIDI file and load it into a DAW, and then use the VST.
Besides just arranging, Band-in-a-Box can be used to create melodies.
But even more interesting to me was the learning function. I found some Jamiroquai backing tracks on the Internet, loaded them into Band-in-a-Box and now I use my Custom style for practice. I would like to think that when I improvise, JK musicians accompany me.
If you have anything to add to the list, please share in the comments.
