Got myself a guitar for Christmas, Epiphone Les Paul.
Very nice.
Anyway my dad is going to try teach me the basics then build it up from there.
At the moment with uni, uni work etc I can't afford the time or money to get lessons from someone who does it and is good at it.
SO could anyone give me some good begginers books, webpages. Pointers in where to start etc - just incase my dad begins to annoy me. :-)
Thanks if you can offer any helpful pointers.

Mine's never been tuned because I'm useless at such things. I TRIED, but my friend has an auto-tuner, and he'll bring that around soon.
No fretted strings? Cool. I gotta try that. Post the tab for me will ya mate?

Strum them as you would normally. Listen to the DVD for a better feel obviously.
Saying that I think he did strum upwards from time to time but the tab doesn't show that.

So what, is it just playing around on the chords, or does he just strum them?
Anyway, thanks. Couldn't be arsed to sit there with the DVD on.

Heh, it's only 4 chords, easy for beginners too so take note.
I'll post the chorus (it's the same pattern throughout the song) if you want all the words just ask. Listen to the song for a nice feel of how it goes.
C, F, Am, G
That's it.
C Free
F
Love on the
Am
free - love
G
free- way, the
C
love is

long. I got some
hot love on the hot love highway
Ain't going home cause my baby's gone (she's gone)
You should be able to work it out from that. It's the only way I could post it because you know what happens when you try to post things with spaces in on SR, it all get's messed up. Have fun!

I've been going on my acoustic for 6 months now, and I'm still crap. Can play the intro to Mr Jones though.
Ermmm... calm down mate.
I started playing about six or seven years ago. Have to say I'm bloody good now, and I've never even thought about having a lesson. What you want to do is grab yourself a few beginners tab books or the chords for a couple of songs off the net and go for it. All very simple, truth is there isn't an easier instrument to play - any old fool can do it (and I include myself in that).
Me dinner is just on the table - I'll give some recommendations later.

I cant believe you lot who got guitars for xmas think your going to be good in like two days. Like ProEvo saying he's still crap!? Its going to take you at least half a year to learn the basics, and you probably wont master the basics for another half a year. I found that books and sites were pants and you can never do any better than one on one tuition. If there is something you dont understand in a book you have no one to ask and will probably give up quickly. Be realistic in your progress.
I got plectrums and a tuner with the guitar but didn't get any books or videos. Probably because my dad had stuff which we can't seem to find in the house.
Found a few books but not much beginners stuff. Have got one with the basic chords in it which I am trying to practice.
