To tune guitar to open G:\nStart by tuning your sixth string down a tone to D.\nCheck the tuning with the fourth (D) string. \nThen tune your fifth string down a tone to G.\nCheck the tuning with the third (G) string. \nLastly, tune your first string down a tone to D.\nCheck the tuning with the fourth (D) string.\nThe Rolling Stones use this alot. Also great for slide playing.\n\nHOWEVER - You don't need to do this for the Beatles Yesterday - for this song just tune the whole guitar down one tone (Two Frets) - Fret the Sixth String (Thickest) at the seventh fret and tune down until it's the same as the 5th String - tune the rest of the guitar based on the sixth string.

F--1st finger on first fret on both strings 1 and 2 (E and B).  Second finger on second fret, 3rd string (G).  Third finger on third fret, 4th string (D).  You can play 4 or 5 strings, but don't play string 6 (low E)\n\nDm7 chord--let go of the 3rd finger on the F chord, and it is Dm7.

Okay, first thing you need to do is understand that playing any musical instrument is not going to be easy.  If you wanted to be a rock star tomorrow, I'm sorry.\n\n1.  Listen to the type of music you want to play.\n2.  Start SLOWLY and build up speed.\n3.  Start SLOWLY and build up speed\n4.  When you are learning a new song go one note a time if you need to, then go to one bar.  Work on that one bar or note or line until you have it.  Repeating is the key.\n5.  Don't practice too much.  When you get frustrated, set it down for a bit, I've gone several days.  You'll be amazed at how much better you feel.\n6.  Start out simple.  You're not gonna play Satch's Boogie right away, sorry.  Play something at your level until you get that, then move on.\n\nGuitar is a very wonderful thing, it will bring you a life time of fun if you stick with it.  Remember that you will always be learning.  BB King has been playing for 70 years and still learns new licks from people.\n\nWhen all else fails  START OUT SLOWLY AND BUILD UP SPEED.\n\nGood luck!\n\nand p.s.  there is no quick way, don't buy into that I'll teach you how to play in 45 minutes crap.  Clapton will work 3-4 hours on one string bend, and he's a "guitar god"

Go to Guitar Center or your local guitar shop and ask them what they would sell it for. I would choose your local place first, cuz GC might short-change ya.

Use your index finger and place it over all of the strings on the fifth fret, but do not press down.  Just lay your finger on that fret.  Then use your middle finger on the 6 and your pinky on the 8---press down on those two strings only.\n\nWith your index finger just laying on the fifth fret you will get a dead sound, thus only getting the true notes out of the two strings your fingers are pressing.\n\nHappy playing...

Some tablature has arrows that go up and down. The best way is to just really listen to the song. If you listen to it long enough and practice at it you'll get it eventually. It took me awile to develop an ear for rythem when I first started playing guitar. So just hang in there

It depends on what kind of guitar it is. I suggest you take it to a music shop and have them do it for you. You don't want to screw up your guitar!

1) Take the old string off.  Sometimes there is a peg that holds the string in on the body of the guitar.  If this is the case, you may need to find something to pull the peg out.  Be careful not to use something that will scratch the wood.  Unwind the rest of the string from the capstan on the neck.\n2) I assume you have a new string to replace it with.  Put the string in the slot in the body first.  Slip the other end of the string through the hole in the capstan.  Be sure to leave enough string so that the capstan will have enough to grab when you wind it.  In other words, don't pull the string tight before you wind it. Leave some slack.\n3)Hold the string in place above the capstan and start winding.  It helps to have one of those winders as it makes the job so much faster.  If you don't keep winding.\n4)Don't let the string slip over the top of the capstan.\n5)As the string tightens pull up on it to make it seat better.\n6)Don't over tighten.  I've broken a few strings this way.  As the string starts to get tight pluck it to see if it is getting close to where it needs to be.\n7)You may want to clip off the excess after you are finished.  It makes the guitar look neater.\n8)Be prepared for the string to stretch after a minute or two. You will have to keep tuning it until it gets fully stretched.  It may keep doing this to a lesser degree over a matter of days.\n\nLet me know if you need more specific details.

Actually,you could do like Hendrix did with his right handed Stratocaster guitar and just flip your guitar around like you hold it (which would technically be upside down),and restring the strings so that your fat "E" is on top ! EADGB  This may work ,till you can get a lefty .Your knobs may be at the top of guitar now ,but you should still be able to jam ! :o)

changing a stratacoustic's strings:\n\n1- unwind old strings so that they're loose. cut them in the middle if you want to make them shorter/easier to deal with while throwing them away.\n\n2- pop out pins from bridge, and take out the strings.\n\n3-put new string balls in line with the holes, and use the pegs to guide them into the bridge. make sure the groove in the pin is pointing toward the neck of the guitar.\n\n4- put the strings up through the tuning pegs.\n\n5- put your hand on the neck, UNDER the strings. turn your hand so that its in the position you'd use to "karate chop" the guitar. now, spread your fingers apart (this step ensures you'll have enough extra string to wrap around the tuners, different ppl use different amounts. i like to not have too much extra.).\n\n6- tune guitar to pitch.\n\n7 - you'll probably notice that your guitar will go out of tune as you're tuning, or for the first 20 minutes or so as you play. thats the strings stretching. if you just lightly tug the strings before you start and retune them, that will go away faster. you may need to repeat that step a few times.

One good way to learn how to play the guitar is to practice until your fingers bleed.... Then practice some more....

On guitar?  There are a couple ways.  You can bar the F and move it up two frets:\n- - - - - -\n1| | | 11\n| | | 2 | |\n| 33 | | |\n\n- - - - - -\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n3| | | 33\n| | | 4| |\n| 55| | |\n\nanother thing I do in another song is:\n\nX - - - - X\n| | | | 1|\n| | | 2| |\n| 33| | |\n\nX-OO-X\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n| 2| | | |\n| | | | 3|\n\nIt is still quite the transition, but no bar chords, and less fingers.  That is a song where I fingerpick but only use the middle strings.\n\nSometimes, especially when you are just starting out, you gott leave off the end of a measure so that you can hit that G chord (or whatever the next chord is) right on the beat you intend to.  People will notice the change a lot less if you arrive on time.\n\nHope this helps!

Try rockmagic, and if there's any chords you can't play try jguitar.

I am not sure this question makes sense but.... lets say for instance your guitar is in standard tuning which is from top to bottom\nE\nA\nD\nG\nB\nE\n\nyou would merely tune each string down 1 and 1/2 steps meaning\n\nE becomes c#\nA becomes F#\nD becomes b\nG becomes e\nb becomes aflat\ne becomes c#\n\nthat said, all you have done is tuned your guitar a step and a half flat.  \n\nIf in open tuning, well, this is slightly different animal but unrelated to your question I think...\n\nThis is done at times for folks who have a hard time with high pitched vocals I suppose.. Kurt Cobain of ummm... nirvana tuned his guitar down 1/2 step for everything.\n\nhope that helps

Use an equalizer and turn down the midrange.\n(you may have heard the phrase "cut the midrange, drop the bass" it refers to this).\n\nPlay around with it...it's not perfect but it can be done.\nAlso, try audacity\nhttp://audacity.sourceforge.net/
