How to start playing / learning.
What do i need to know, where to go on the web, where i can learn useful stuff.?

At this moment i have a classical guitar that i'm using to start playing/learning.
I borrowed an ESP from a friend some time ago and i was getting better with playing song intros (with tabs).

Never really got the hang of chords (my fingers are too slow, and i dunno how exactly to strum).
I had to return the ESP(too bad, i was starting to get attached to it), and i am using this classical guitar.

And yes, i used google to find some tuts but there's so many, i don't know where adn how to start.
Don't tell me to go to music school. I'dd much rather learn this by myself with a helpful hand, hopefully ^^
So please, give me some advice on this.


Btw, i am sorry if this thread is misplaced or threads such as this one are not allowed.

If you know how to read tabs, ultimate-guitar will have lots of handy guides and excersizes. I am self taught and i just spent a while learning how to pick each string, then strum more than one and eventually started learning tabs.

well learning it online is really hard, i suggest you to pay some money to a teacher to teach you

I learned from my dad who's self taught.
Once he taught me the basics, I just learned from tabs and online videos.
I watched other people on youtube and saw how they did things.

Heres a good guy thats really good to watch: http://www.youtube.com/user/hemo1985

Now wait a minute... you WHAT?!!?

Oh man, if I had an ESP (well, a custom one that is) I wouldn't let anyone touch it.



As for learning, well, I pretty much learned all I know from various stuff I found online, and of course - tabs.

Basically this site is pretty good for all kinds of info you might need.

That's what I said when I read this. And Ultimate guitars is probably your best bet ^^

You should print a chord chart and start learning. That's how my sister learned guitar and she's pretty good now.

Thanks for your fast replies guys I'm now practicing 3-4 hours a day and my finger tips are killing me.

Yea, you should probably start with the basic chords. I learned by theses

Start with basic ones, and when you have mastered to play in normal speed many chords, then move on.

That's all you'll need to know, until you move on to jazz...If you even go that rout.
