Chords


Guitar Chords !!! Ahh !!!
Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~Berthold Auerbach
IF discovering music has been one of the invaluable accomplishments of mankind, inventing the guitar has certainly made it priceless. Surreal it was - lying there on the soft, moist grass with the clear sky above me and a guitar by my side.
WIth such a simple concept of resonance, a hollow piece of wood and a set of strings can do wonders. It has the power to give a gift of life to a dying person. Historically also the effect & impact of music is so huge that the greatest of the writers of their time liked talking something or the other on music or will use it to describe a situation.
Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness. ~Maya Angelou, Gather Together in My Name
MAy it be a war place, work place or any other place; may you be alone sitting idle under a tree or with your soulmate; may you really want to scream hard or just keep quiet; music has every form of life in it & trust me, you'll find a music of your type in any state of your mind.
A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. ~Leopold Stokowski
IT happened to be a time when I was in my college's last year that this passion of guitar struck me like anything. I liked it very much but I am not sure about my peers :). I used to play it for the whole night desperately trying hard to learn 'how to play the damn thing?'.
www.IndianGuitarTabs.com proved to be very helpful to me for the initial learning and brushing up the basics. I learned to play many songs from there and I still refer to it. Second site that I happen to visit is www.FreeGuitarVideos.com.
