Easy Guitar Learning
This would encompass as much as possible everything basic for easy guitar learning.
Learning about a guitar does not mean only playing it.
Know more about the instrument and taking care of it.
Here we will be dealing with acoustic guitars, many of which are made of wood or similar synthetic materials.
Most acoustic guitars bodies have the shape of the number eight (8) and are hollow to produce sound.
Electric guitars sound through electro-magnetic pick up devices passing through amplifiers then finally to speakers.
Acoustic guitars are sensitive to extreme heat and cold.
They could warp or deform depending on the material used to construct them.
For classical guitars that normally have nylon strings from the 3rd down to the 1st are more sensitive and would need re-tuning when exposed to those extremes.
Many guitar cases provide protection only from getting wet.
With black or dark colored cases it is bound to absorb more heat.
Strings of a guitar will need to be replaced more frequently when subjected to more frequent use.
The stretching strings go through some points of no return that weaken them at some places and become a bit thinner in the process.
The resulting inconsistent thickness or circumference of the strings will make them more difficult to tune and produce less quality sound.
For performance in front of audience, you need to make sure the strings are very slightly used.
In practice sessions you will need to have a spare or practice guitar not far below the quality of your regular instrument.
Easy guitar learning includes when storing it for some length of time, make sure it will be in a cool dry place free from crawling insects especially cockroach.
Cockroaches lay their cocoons inside guitar corners.
A few may not affect sound quality but you would not want them crawling out of the hole while in use.
Sometimes it's better to loosen up the strings a bit, if it will be for a month or more in storage.
It will ease the stretch and tension on both the string and body and that's easy guitar learning.
Moth balls should help inside the hollow part of the guitar.
In case you need to use the guitar much earlier, they should be easily shaken out of the hole.
On daily care, you would definitely give looks the next best attention.
Second to sound, there's nothing better than a good-looking guitar.
Sometimes people around appreciate looks more than how you play the guitar.
Taking care of the finish, especially wood varnish is quite a difficult task.
On a personal end, you will tend to sandpaper scratches refinish with varnish.
For strings, it helps to coat them very lightly with baby oil to take care of rust.
Existing light rust could be taken cared of with rubbing alcohol that has some anti-rust properties.
It will also be easy to get rid of accumulated dust with soft 1-inch paint brush.
For frets, move the brush along the length of the strings to avoid snagging the brush with the strings.
If you love playing the guitar, you will need to love taking good are of it.
