I want to be able to play mostly modern rock/alternative/punk stuff like that and maybe some metal. Thanx alot people :)

Answer 1

I say you take 2 or 3 lessons to cover the basics, then get a solid beginner book...

thatill cost you about $120?

Answer 2

learn how to do the A, G, F, and E chord first. You can look them up on the internet but I don't kno the sites. You can also look up songs that show you what cords to play. good luck.

Answer 3

Take some lessons one on one with a good teacher. He or she will see what you know and what you need to learn and make sure that you learn it.  He or she will also watch and listen to your playing and coach you to correct any mistakes or bad techniques you may have picked up.  At this point in your guitar playing journey, stumbling around in the dark as you're doing now isn't going to get you anywhere, you need a guide to show you the way.........

Take some lessons.
