Try To Rock On Guys !!!

Assalamualaikum and hello there~

This time around, I want to teach you guys how to play a guitar...yes, you are gonna learn to play an INSTRUMENT !!!
Well, I'm not that good in playing guitar but then I think it is not wrong to share some knowledge here...right?
First of all you need to have a guitar. I'm started playing guitar when I was 15, and that was around late 2007. At first, I was so jealous looking at my friend playing guitar in our farewell party, and I was the singer. So I tried to play with my father's guitar which I found a crack at its neck. I glue it back by using a super glue and started playing. Hahaha. Enough said, lets take a look at simple chords down here...

I'm gonna teach you three chords first...and you can already play a song!

This is the G major chord

This is the C major chord

And this is the D major chord

I already gave you the images of the chords and how to lay your fingers on the guitar. Now you better start practicing by trying to change from one chord to another chord without strumming the strings first. Later on, after you had already mastered how to change the chords, you can start strumming by using a pick or your right thumb and your right index finger. Try to strum the string downstroke and upstroke. Downstroke by using your right index finger and upstroke by using right thumb finger. After you can play the chords well...You can try to play this!
