#198298 Alright well i guess i already got to the point and thats that i wanna learn how to play the guitar lol. This summer and next school year i will have some time to teach my self and learn. How did you guys learn? I really dont want to pay someone to teach me imo its just a waste. Any good books i should look into? Online teaching? I have an acoustic and so thats what im gonna learn on.

#198387 tabs arent bad. but if youre wanting to learn chords and what not, id go to a music shop and try to find a chord reference. honestly, one meant for kids would be A LOT easier to learn with because a chord ref is for people who already know a lot. Stick with it though. you can do great things! i play guitar and drums. drums are my main thing and ive toured the whole country before. its great!

#198398 I have been playing guitar for a few years. I pretty much just look for tabs on Ultimate Guitar. I mainly play drums. I'd recommend learning how to read music first. This book is really good for learning guitar, http://www.amazon.com/Hal-Leonard-Guitar-Method-Complete/dp/0634047019/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1275544081&sr=8-2
and also this for song popular songs, http://www.amazon.com/Melodies-Leonard-Guitar-Method-Songbooks/dp/0793573858/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1275544081&sr=8-5

Playing an instrument is fun!!
