The easiest way to learn playing an instrument is you must love it. Then you can read some books to know more about the guitar( or ask somebody) and practice songs

You can use a piano. Just play a note, and tune your guitar using the little twisting notches on the top. (twisting tighter makes it higher)

you'd probably be best off by finding it on a guitar tabs website and use the chords to figure it out and then improv. that's what I do when I figure out piano stuff. just keep in mind, if you have to read tabs, the top string is e, then b,g,d,a,e, and every fret is one half step. Good luck and have fun

the piano, there's 88 keys and and the scales are very difficult to master\n\nif you can play the piano, everything else is easy by comparison

Wow.  You're a music person and you want to learn a programming language just for that.  I wouldn't advise it.  Just do a search for music note learning games or something.  I found this one: http://www.happynote.com/ear-training.html.  Probably not exactly what you need, but you could try more searches...

go to a piano, play a random note, guess it. Do this alot. Then have someone else do it, and include sharps and flats. Then do chords, and name the notes of the chords.

Try tis site out. It's a good place to get sheet music and midi sounds. All you need is there.

Hi! The chord chart poster is a good idea. You can find these at Wal-Mart. There are a lot of complicated chords on there that you will never use but the choice of different chords is very good. Pick 2 chords to start with and practice alternating between them until you can do it naturally. Excercise your fingers all the time. Work past the soreness..callouses take time. The bass won't help you with chords. But it will with learning the notes maybe.

Are you talking hand bells?  Or do you mean bells as in glockenspiel, xylophone and marimba?  If the latter, it's definitely not easy.  But it has its advantages over other instruments as well.\n\nYou need to be able to read music (and know your key signatures) - you can use piano sheet music as they use the same key structure.  The main thing is that you need to have good hand-eye coordination to accurately hit a note with your mallet - especially when you're playing fast notes.  Like a drummer, you need to strengthen your wrists to be able to roll accurately (a roll is many repeated notes hit sequentially on the same bar of your instrument), and you especially need to strengthen your "off" hand (if you're right-handed, this would be your left hand).\n\nIf you get really good, you can then move on to playing with 3 or 4 mallets at once... which is where it REALLY starts sounding cool.  There are some people that can play with more than 4 mallets, but it's extremely difficult.\n\nHope that helps!

if you have learned piano chords, you can expand by listening to CD's and trying to play what you hear.  I play in a praise team at church and play primarily from Lead Sheets (chord sheets) which expands my knowledge.  If you have chord knowledge, you need to hear what you can do with the chords in order to expand your knowledge.  The more you listen and attempt to imitate, the more knowledge you will receive.  It will be frustrating at first, but you will get better as time goes on.  Good Luck!!!\nPS - I also try and play leads from the radio.  Songs that come to mind are Bless the Broken Road (Rascal Flatts) and A Thousand Miles (Vanessa Carleton).  Those leads come directly from chords and listen to them over and over and over to find out how the leads are depicted from the leads.

I found some interesting sites such as: http://www.notationmachine.com/how_to_read_sheetmusic/readingmusic.htm\nhttp://library.thinkquest.org/15413/theory/note-reading.htm\n\nplus... you can try some applications (games) that will make you practise readin "on the go"... for example...\nhttp://www.funbrain.com/notes/index.html\nthis might seem childish but it should help... Best way you can practise is to buy a midi keyboard and then play some note reading games...

I think it would be best to buy a special keyboard, but they are probably hard to come by and expensive. I have found a program called KeyTweak (free, http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/ ) that I used to remap one of my multimedia buttons to open the calculator. This program will allow you to make any key do whatever you want (at least whatever any other key can do), and is pretty easy to use. You will want to use the half teach mode for any key that you want to change that isn't shown on the main page. Also, you have to restart your computer before the settings take effect.\n\nThe problem is that if you use this program, your keys will not do what is printed on them. You might be able to take your keys off somehow and rearrange them; or maybe use a permanent marker or paint?\n\nBelow is a link to a picture of the Left-handed Dvorak layout (in case it will help with remapping)

practice, practice, practice. (with good fundamentals)\nThere are many online typing courses. many free software programs also.

Hey man, here's what you gotta do first, learn the chords G, C, and D.  That is the building blocks, there are about seven chords that you need to know as a beginner.  They are, G, C, D, F, E, B, and A.  Got to this site for a nice little lesson on your first chords, \nhttp://guitar.about.com/library/weekly/aa071200e.htm

There is the one way of buying your keyboard and just watching a self-help tape or there is the option of spending a little extra on a keyboard with a step lighted teaching system where the keys actually illuminate as you are learning your song. They work great and help you from beginners stage to advance...real easy to get the hang of. Again, The only downside to this is that the price of these keyboards can run a little higher than the normal keyboards, but if your really into learning on your own they are worth the trouble.  Hope i was of some help!
