How do you start playing the guitar?

Question

I decided that i want to learn how to play the guitar. I've tried to play a few chords but I was wondering if anyone knew a good (free) website that can help me. Any ideas would be helpful

Answer 1

There are a few sites that are helpful.  Berklee.edu has one, guitartricks.com has some info and one I found was linked through You Tube...Global Village or some such.  I will check in my favorites...the link is there.

Answer 3

don't hire a teacher, all of my friends who took lessons said you were basicly just paying to play with someone

frets are the easiest thing to learn:

there are a row of strings like this:

---------------

the top string on the screan is the bottem string on your guitar (it sounds retarded but once you get used to it it makes more sense). it shows fret numbers on the strings (the number starts at the end of the guitar, 0 means you dont have to hold any fret)

---------------

---77--55---

---77--55---

---55--33---

there are some other symbols like x which means muted note.i dont know them all but most sites tell you what they mean (muted notes mean that you rest you fingers on the string without holding down)

if you need any more help you can email me.
