Hello
just bought the basic guitar from the Alameda store, just followed your instructions and tuned the guitar, now we are confused with this video when left fingers are pressing the upper string and right finger will press down the sound is mute. what are we doing wrong? please help.
Hi Marta, welcome! Thanks for leaving a comment—I’m glad you’re here.
This lesson on tablature was designed as a simple introduction to the idea of tablature, just so you can begin to understand how it works. It wasn’t intended to guide you through playing quite yet.
The best next step is to move on to the First Adventure. That’s where you’ll find clear, step-by-step guidance on how to play, including exactly where to place your fingers and how everything fits together.
If you get a chance, I’d love for you to introduce yourself in the forum. That helps me understand your level, whether you’ve played before, and how I can best guide you.
To find it, go back to the beginning and look at the top of the page. You’ll see a series of links—one of them is labeled Forum.
It sounds like you’re eager to get started, and I love that you’re jumping right in. Even something as simple as tuning your guitar is an important first step.
Be patient with yourself. There will be some fumbling at first—that’s part of the process for everyone. But little by little, your hands will learn what to do, and before you know it, things that feel awkward now will start to feel natural. You absolutely can do this.
