get lessons if you can afford them. If not, find a friend who plays and
have them show you some basics. you can find countless lessons on the
internet at places like youtube on how to do specific things. Most
importantly - get a guitar! not necessarily buy, but somehow get a guitar,
maybe borrowing from a friend. Don't give up! |

If you wanna play, get a guitar. At this stage it really doesn't matter the
quality of the guitar, just as long as it can be tuned. You will want to
step up to a better instrument in the future though. I have taught and are
currently teaching many beginners. I would try to get as much information
as possible from many different sources such as veteran guitar players and
other musicians alike. The Internet is a great source of information. It
will be frustrating at times, but don't worry, with practice comes rewards.
Do beware of bad habits. Many people who try to teach themselves from the
start develop bad habits that become engrained in thier playing style are
hard to get rid of inthe future. Ask a lot of questions. Enjoy! |
