Guitar Dummies
Where do I begin to play the guitar?
I really want to learn how to play the guitar. I dont have any musical background, except that I listen to it religiously. I have looked at the “Guitar for Dummies” books, and other DVD type learning software. Does anyone have any tips on where I should start?
Hello there,
Learning to play a guitar is a lot easier these days compared to when I started (shortly after the dark ages). There is a wealth of instructional materials available on the internet.
Here is a link to a video lesson at Youtube. This guy has a series of 12 lessons available there at Youtube. You can find the other lessons in the related videos section. He covers the basics very well. You can learn a lot from him.

Next is an article about how to read tabs. The more common way of writing guitar music these days is in what is called tabs.

Here is a link to a chord chart. It is several pages long. You can look up how to finger various chords with this.

When you are ready to start learning some songs, you can search for the tabs. Just Google the name of the song and the word tabs. A common site you will see with guitar tabs is 911 Tabs. There are many, many others. Also, at Youtube search the song name and the words lesson or how to play. There are a great many good video lessons on songs there.
These are not the only good sites, but I do think they are some of the best ones.
