The most important thing when it comes to learning anything is practice and consistency. Try and set aside a small amount of time every day to practice. It doesn't matter if it is fifteen minutes or twenty five minutes, as long as you try to make time as consistently as possible.

When you begin, go out and purchase a guitar from the local music store or look online. Generally there are lots of specials on different websites around the internet. Be sure to purchase an instrument that you can afford, but also make sure that it's a good quality instrument. Lots of people starting out get really discouraged because they bought a poor quality guitar. Generally this is because poor quality instruments don't have a lot of room for error, as it's harder to press against the strings.

Lots of people starting out will begin by learning simple songs. After they learn a couple easy songs for beginners, they tend to progress to more difficult pieces. When you start, learn a few of the basic chords - D, C, and G. You're going to be pleased by the number of songs you can play just by using a few basic chords.

When you are getting better at the instrument, you can start transitioning into more difficult pieces. As well as learning each major chord, be sure that you learn the minor and seventh chords as well. With this new amount of chord knowledge, you're going to be able to increase your repertoire dramatically.

If you're getting a bit bored at just playing chord progressions, be sure to transition into finger picking too. Lots of beginners may be intimidated, but it isn't really that difficult.. When you start learning how to pick the strings with your fingers, you're going to get a lot better. Your range is going to increase dramatically.

Don't forget to study your favorite musical artists. When you listen to a variety of different musicians, you're going to be able to train the ear and differentiate different chords over time. Try listening to different music while in the car or even while out for a jog. This is going to help you out a lot as you get better and better.

Remember, it doesn't take a genius to become an excellent blues guitarist. The most important thing that you can do is to set aside some time to practice every day. Soon you'll be playing your favorite songs and impressing your friends and family with your new found skills. Have fun!
