Want to start playing guitar.

[Breukelen advocaat]

For the longest time I've wanted to start playing guitar, but I've never found the time. But I also don't really know where to begin. I'd rather teach myself to play than get lessons. Just would like to hear any suggestions about some good beginner tabs and other general tips and whatnot.

If you can't get lessons from a teacher, then try to hang out with somebody that can show you the basics.

I'd recommend finding a teacher - it's easier to learn correct technique in the beginning than it is to unlearn bad technique later. Even many of the top pros take lessons to learn new things.

Guitar for Dummies is supposed to be a good book. I haven't seen it, since it came out long after I learned, but I do have Bass Guitar for Dummies.

Good luck.
