Continue to work on the scales relative to the G chord, but also learn to form its associated chords of C, D, and D7. Once you’ve done that, and making the chord changes smoothly, go to another chord to learn.

You’ll get into the barre chords as you learn the mother of them all–the F major chord. But even at that point you could learn the abbreviated version of F, which is XX3211, and focus on the Chromatic Scale with that chord. By Chromatic it is meant to advance up and down the fretboard one fret at a time. By using the common F chord you could move the exact formation to other frets and thereby learn new chord names, such as another G in the third fret, another A in the fifth fret, and another C in the eighth fret.

Wonderwall by Oasis is the first song I ever learnt… It’s really easy. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com for the tabs and chords. Try songs that you know well – you can tell if you’re doing it right and you will enjoy learning it more. =)

Good guitar practice exercises?
So ive just started to learn the guitar, ive started learning scales (so far i have learnt steps 1 and 2 of the Gmajor).

Ive looked up barre chords, but don’t particularly understand them well! Just wondering what other people practiced first when they were learning

Thanks for your help in advance!
Also, does anyone have a basic layout of a practice exercise they do each day?

e.g. 10 minutes of scales, 10 minutes of barre chords? thanks!
