I have wanted to play the guitar all my life. My parents got me a guitar a couple years ago, and some books. I have tried maybe three different forms of lessons, all start off at different places. Where is the best place to start when learning to play? Also, got some money now, any advice on some good software or book (idiot proof) to teach me how to play? I really do want to learn this, I’m just kinda overwhelmed. Any other advice welcome please.
Thanks!
Everyone has given you great advice, but I’d like to add one very important aspect that often gets ignored…
Play well with others!
You will improve 10 times as fast playing and practicing with another, then you will sitting at home in your room alone.
Try to find someone who’s a better guitarist, if they can put up with you, and get together to sing songs, write music..etc..at least once a week.
It’s also very important that you FORCE yourself to sit down everyday with the express purpose of practicing.
Some days you may not feel up to it, but if you force yourself..if only for 15 minutes a day, you’ll find the time stretching into an hour or more.
Learn a minimum of 3-4 different ways to play each chord. This will involve partial or whole bar chords up and down the neck, but will give you a great understanding of the fret board.
For example, if someone is playing the standard G chord 3-2-0-0-0-3 realize that you can play a little 3 string G chord up at the 7th fret, that’s shaped like the normal D chord
x-x-x-7-8-7
I know this sounds boring, but learn the Pentatonic Blues scale, and finally…find someway to record yourself…this is an invaluable tool for hearing areas of your playing that need more work.
Best of luck..guitarist of over 40 years
I have an Epiphone SG G-400. I don’t know a whole lot about guitars, but I like the way it looks, feels and sounds. I am a person who believes that you get what you pay for. I am a beginner so I didn’t want to drop $1000+ on a Gibson Les Paul or SG, so I bought the Epiphone. If the prices were a little closer together, I probably wouldn’t be so paranoid about quality, but The epiphone was $350 and the gibson was like $1200. I am really enjoying playing and I am wondering if I may have made a mistake. How long will I be happy with this guitar? I am 34 years old and have no aspirations of being anything more than a hobbiest. So I guess what really want is peace of mind. Should I have sprung for it or did I do the right thing?
bro i have the exact same guitar in red. and i love it i actually use that guitar in my band. I’m pretty sure you will stay happy if its just a hobby and no you did int make a mistake. if you buy Gibson 120$ pickup and put them in the guitar you will have the Gibson you wanted. with the sg its way more expensive ca us your buying Gibson’s name.
well hope i helped.
about 20 bucks an hour
I know a lot about blues music but I am not a musician. This is for personal enjoyment. I am not looking to be onstage someday.
Check on Musician’s Friend for what you need.

I have always wanted to learn guitar, so my girlfriend is buying me one for Christmas. All I have to do is pick it out. Her and I are not sure which is the best to learn on, she thinks electric and I have heard acoustic. Any suggestions?
My preference in music is really rock. I love classic rock like the Stones and Aerosmith. Modern Rock I like 3 Doors Down and music like that. I have always loved acoustic tracks though.
Electric’s easier on the fingers, but what it comes down to is this.
What is your preference? Which type of guitar shows up in a majority of the music you listen to? Because, when it comes to the basics, electric and acoustic are essentially the same thing. It’s not until you’ve become more familiar with the instrument that the subtleties of each really show.
