What Are the Advantages of Being a Guitarist?

guitar-and-memory-700x467
When you first start learning guitar, these techniques might include barre chords, chord progressions, pentatonic scales, arpeggios, and rhythm.
Guitar lessons for beginners can include specialised lessons for blues guitar, rock guitar, or classical guitar. Additionally, you'll learn about fingerpicking, basic guitar chords, fretting, and how to tune your guitar.
Playing the guitar is a great way to stimulate your brain and your memory and beginners can start seeing the benefits from the moment they start playing a few melodies, licks, or a common guitar chord.
All types of memory are engaged:
  • Episodic Memory: when you listen to a song, it reminds you of another memory, of a person, or a specific time and place.
  • Semantic Memory: you’ll develop knowledge-based memories of a particular topic, in this case, the guitar.
  • Perceptual Memory: that which remembers what your senses experienced.
  • Procedural Memory: this is the memory that remembers skills like how to read tablature, music theory, or tuning a guitar, for example.
  • Working Memory: this is the part of memory which provides necessary information in order to complete certain tasks.
You need a certain degree of discipline and you’ll soon be able to concentrate for a couple of hours without any problems. It’s great for when it comes to playing the guitar but also for your professional life. The more you can concentrate, the more quickly you’ll remember and the more you’ll remember. This will make learning much easier, resulting in more self-confidence and allowing you to work more effectively.
The brain is an important muscle that we rarely flex. Just like any other muscle in our body, it needs regular training in order to remain effective. This is beneficial for children and teenagers, of course, but it’s also beneficial for adults as working on your memory will decrease the effects of ageing and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s!
Apart from this it is important to get idea on guitar anatomy such as guitar tuner buttons, wraparound bridge unit, sound system, saddle screws, spare buttons etc.

How To Clean And Maintain Your Electric Guitar Fretboard

  Finished and Unfinished Fretboards  The guitar community is torn in a debate about whether the material of a fretboard makes any difference. Some believe that a rosewood fretboard is markedly different from ebony, while others say there’s hardly any difference. But when it comes to cleaning, you will need to be cautious. Primarily, the focus is on fretboard cleaning, but other  guitar parts   are involved, like the neck and tuning pegs. And if your electric guitar has a fretboard that uses unfinished wood, things are tricky, demanding extreme caution. So, it’s recommended to oil unfinished fretboards for obvious reasons. When you leave wood for a long time, it turns hard, thereby making it difficult for the truss rod-neck adjustment.  Unoiled fretboards can also crack in places that look bad and hamper your guitar play. How To Start Cleaning Your FretBoard  For maple fretboards, you don’t have to spend time oiling. Typically, they are pre-hydrat...
