That’s right. Anyone can play the guitar. Here’s the secret. Lose the long fingernails on your left hand. The lady with curly-cue fingernails can’t get there from here. Next, if you don’t own one, buy a guitar. Your local shop will have a nice new or used nylon stringed (sometimes called a “classical”) guitar for one hundred to two hundred dollar. At the same time, invest in a twenty-dollar digital guitar tuner, which will allow you to either tune to a dial type pointer or light indicator. They also produce an actual tone that you can match to each of the six strings. Once you’ve done that, pick up a chord book, sometimes a pamphlet size booklet that shows you where to place your fingers on the fretboard to produce all the chords you can imagine.

Trust me, Eric Clapton, Andres Segovia, and John Mayer all
