Learning Guitar

[sammd]

Could anyone recommend some good websites that you can learn to play the guitar from for free?

if you want free chords try www.azchords.com

If you want to actually learn from scratch I would recommend just two lessons from a tutor and practice hard. You should be able to get a studenty type willing to do it for around a tenner an hour. Money well spent.

universalguitar.com is good, but s ward-minter said it's nice to get the basics from a pro so you dont get into bad habits

Hey samm

When I taught myself guitar I bought a few books of chords and bands that I liked, so when I practised, I was practising tracks I desperately wanted to learn - that really helped with the motivation. Getting me through the pain in my fingers! At first you'll be slow and awkward but persevere, and depending on how much you practice - within a couple of months you'll be quite competent with certain chords and get more adventurous. Once you've mastered a few chord changes use those same chords in practising your plucking to get different sounds and moods. You can read on various plucking styles and rhythms on web-sites. Stick in there, it's rewarding in the end! All the best
