Well first and foremost thing is that you shud own a guitar, and if available and feasible, a good one. I own onw from Yamaha.\nNow coming to your question, it depends on what type of learner you are... you should be dedicated and have someone to tell you some basic tips.. after that you can go along yourself...\nYou should take care of your beating, changing chords come second, firstly you should do something like this... 1 2 3 4, beat the same chord four times slowly.. and do take care of timing...do it slowly, don't miss even one string while beating as per the instructions for playing that specific chord...\nIve only been playing for a month and now i kno almost all basics,, and i can play any song provided to me after few practices....and meet out your friends for help.. it will quicken your pace,,,, you can become better than you dude in 6 months if you play well........ n hey i'll be playing knock knock by GNR and singing it in our school function shortly.. me a guy who has had a guitar only for  a month!.. you can download easy chord\nat www.subjectmusic.com/easychord .. it helps n is available 4 free!\nhave fun dude..

start off by just going through a scale you know. just pick the root, 3rd and 5th. the trick is timing. start on the low E string, and pick the root note, but dont stop the picking motion until your pick is resting on the next string. then, make sure you kill the note you just hit at the same time you push the pick past the next string. you're not really picking again, you're just continuing the motion you've already got going. they'll sound super clean if you start slow and make sure that you're only letting one ring at a time. gradually as it feels more natural, you can go a little faster.\n\nwhen you get that down, change directions. eventually you can add in some slides, hammer-ons, etc.

It takes 8 classes (If twice a week) or say a month to make ur fingers'  comfortable with the frets. To start learning its alwayz better with the acoustic, electric guitar will be easy after your fingers are comfortable with the frets. Practicing after learning is very important. You can visit indiaguitartabs.com if you want to get the notes for songs. They are self explanatory. Get back to me in case you require any further help. Have a gr8 guitar day.

there are a couple ways to go, I'd buy one of the beginning guitar books available at the store.  That will give you the basics.... Eadgbe.  Also, try a site like Guitar Tab Universe.  You can find songs in both Tab and Chord form.  Learn the basic G C D A chord.  Nothing difficult there.  Don't get discouraged, your fingers will be sore for a little bit, until they gain the calususes on them required to play pain free.  It may not be a bad idea find someone else that is in your area, that's in the same level as you are as far as playing, that way, you can have someone to work with.  Two heads are better than one.

There is no fast and easy way to learn Japanese, but a great place to start if you can't take a class and you aren't going to Japan anytime soon is http://www.yesjapan.com/. \n\nIf you don't want to do that, just google "free Japanese lessons" and you'll come up with a ton of material. \n\nIf you're really serious, you might also consider getting  Japanese penpals who wouldn't mind tutoring you.\n\n http://www.sharedtalk.com/ is a great site for finding  someone to study with .

I am learning right now.  I have practiced for hours a day for months and still really can't play anything.  But it is  a hell of a lot of fun.  You will never worry about a rainy day again because it will give you a good excuse to play around with  your guitar and you know it is something you can do for life and there will always be more to learn.  You better take the amount of effort you plan to devote to it and multiply it by ten.  But, you should still do it.  I recommend going to a reputable shop and buying a cheap guitar at first.  Then, once you prove to yourself that your gonna stick with it, then reward yourself with a nicer one.  I wish you the best of success.\n\nCheers,

Go to your local music store and buy a begginers book.  It will teach you proper finger placement and different cords.  An electric guitar is easier to play than an acoustic because the neck is narrower and easier to put your hand around.  You can also take lessons, sometimes it's easier to learn by watching it done properly. Look in the classifieds or in the phonebook to find a teacher.  Just remember that playing the guitar is an art and is not learned overnight.  Just be patient and practice a lot!

Tabs aren't really necessary.  If you learn the pentatonic scale, you'll be able to improvise like a pro.\n\nI'm not kidding, it really is that easy.  I played my first gig on lead guitar just five weeks after I picked it up for the first time!\n\nYou can find the pentatonic scales at www.all-guitar-chords.com.  The beautiful thing is that you just slide the same pattern up and down the neck to change keys!\n\nI know you must think I'm lying, but I swear this is what most of the big name guitarists use.

I go through different scale patterns all over the neck for an hour everyday, I'm not even a speed player, but I'm faster than most speed players.\n\nIf you are trying to get to a new speed on the metronome play 10bpm past your limit for awhile, not perfectly, but keep up as much as you can, when you turn it back down your desired speed will be easier. Obviously make sure the conditioning of your 3 and 4 fingers are balanced out to the other two in your hand. \n\nMost musicians upstroke is weaker than their down stroke. If you have the time, do only upstrokes for a month or two, in every exercise you do, adjust the metronome accordingly and still try for accuracy and to increase speed. \n\nEconomy picking is a must to learn if you havn't already.

Don't worry! I've been playing guitar for a year now, and chords take a little while to get used to. You need to get a nice approach... make sure your thumb is anchored low and your fingers are sitting strong on the strings. To stretch your fingers out, do finger warm-ups every day (if you get lessons, your instructor can supply you with some warm ups.) Also, your fingers will strengthen the more you practice... you'll start to notice calluses.\n\nA great way to get used to making a C chord is by switching from C to another chord, and then back to the C chord again. Once you can make a switch, it'll become easier to quickly recreate the C chord. \n\nI'm the same way... I want to move on to bigger things and forget about the basics. Take it slow, because the more time you take on the basics, the better guitarist you will be. Stay with the basics and then move on. If you don't take lessons, I strongly recommend it... it's a lot easier. \n\nIt's not impossible but it does take a LOT of practice, so don't give up!

um...get a teacher or a book, remember that electric guitar is easier if u ever want to try it ( the neck is skinnier)

Don't fret, baby, you're getting the right answers.....\nKey to being able to make guitar chords/notes sound crisp and clean...Being able to press down and hold string on frets.  Get hand/fingers muscles flexible by regularly squeezing a racquetball or tennis ball.  You'll develop small callouses first on your fingertips, but press on (pun intended!) and you'll be strumming fine in no time!

the acoustic guitar was designed to be heard without amplification. therefore it will be heard to some extent. you may want to use a very light pick, you may try useing your fingers instead of a pick, you could try damping the strings with the heel of your hand or you could just pretend to be crazy when they come to complain(haha).
