Ha, that's where I got my first acoustic lesson from.

Good teacher there.


Op, definitely check out Youtube too for some good chanel's. There are plenty out there.

it's way better if you take a music class or something. i take one and it helps me out alot. learning from videos can be confusing and hard. but hey, i won't stop you from trying ;)

The best way to learn guitar (or any instrument for that matter) is to take lessons in person from a good teacher (for guidance obviously) and hang around with other people that play (for motivation and some friendly competition).

You can screw around with it but if you really want to get good with it then I would recommend getting lessons. You will be more motivated and have more fun with it. Mimicking youtube guitarists will only get you so far.

These are a bit more advance, but possibly very helpful for along the way:

The Troy Stetina series of books, seriously the best tutorials/practice. Will stick with you from beginner all the way up to extremely advanced, you will still be referring back to it. It will get down your timing and palm muting, control, etc... so you are no longer sounding like a beginner.

I went the hard way when I started playing guitar. But it worked, eventually, even though I can't say I'm that good anyway.

-Get Guitar Pro (5 or 6)
-Pick a song you like (easier ones for the start)
-Get the tabs for GP (911tabs is a good database)
-Start playing along

I never was into guitar lessons or tutorials. Maybe I should have... But this is how I and my friends started back in the day. It's easier than plain text or paper tabs, for you can listen to the tabs with the software.

Guitar Pro is also a wonderful software if you want to start making your own songs! Even though I liked to write them on paper first... It will pay off, if you buy it.

Just note that if you are using "tabs" found online or in apps like Guitar Pro, ensure that they are valid.

Those can really mess up a beginner. It's nice software and all, but not actually educational to start off learning upon. I've used it myself. As a beginner, you however need to learn best practices. That will show you a tab, but not how to correctly play it. You will find if you just play and pick up bad habits, it takes longer to relearn them. So at least get the root basics down first.

Check out LeFrenchStallion. He learned using nothing but Rocksmith and is pretty damn good after like 3 years of it.

Assuming you have a basic understanding of the guitar, this guy will break down More Than a Feeling with commentary later in the video.

This is the song he's playing.

Exactly. That's why I pointed out it's the hard way and maybe should have considered otherwise...

But when you learn the basics, some theory and how to use your instrument "the right way", it's a good soft to check out. At least it helped me to learn playing in rhythm etc. Like a metronome with a bit more punch... And when you start being creative, it will come to a great help.

But hey, I played a lot of black metal and punk mainly, so the theory and other "minor" things were never that big a thing to me... And that's exactly why I stated that maybe the lessons would not have been that bad after all.

You should really get a teacher, I learned more in a couple of minutes than I did on my own in hours on my keyboard.

guitar is really hard to learn without tuition.

but you can try books and the many websites that offer lessons online.

[spanglock]

This[datacenter2.aucegypt.edu] is a classic guitar book.

Whilst your interests may not pertain to the classical genre, having a proper understanding of technique and sheet music is something that no musician should go without.

I personally burnt myself out on books with no sucess in learning anything about chord shapes or theory back when I was first getting into playing guitar.

I'm still learning bits of theory an technique over the years I have been playing, but none of the books I read made one lick of sense untill I had a basic understanding of playing guitar from watching instructional videos online.

I think as a beginner you really just need to be able to see another person play and then explain how they do it, either online videos or a personal tutor.

Theory is important to understand down the road but...
