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.

I did'nt get an instructional video either, But i'm going to get lessons and stuff soon.
Yesturday I figured my guitar was out of tune, So with a little help form www.mxtabs.com I tuned it and now it sounds alot better. Now I can play the intro to Metallica - Nothing Else Matters (Yes I know, That is like the easiest thing ever, It involves no fretted strings)

In the words of El Blokey's tagline: me wants it! :P

Didn't you get an instructional video with your guitar or a booklet? I did with both my guitars, so I thought you would've. Anyway, first order of the day if you haven't already: get a plectrum (or plucker, for the late person :P). It's MUCH easier to play with a plectrum, or for me, anyway. Plus, it stops getting sore fingers :D
Use google.co.uk to search for a chord list and learn the 7 (I think) main chords. Then playing guitar becomes a LITTLE easier :D
Need any more help, just drop me a buzz.

On a similar note, for christmas I got the Office scripts book and inside is the tab and lyrics for one of the songs that David plays in episode 4 (I think it's episode 4), "Freelove Freeway"

Anyone got any names of good books or DVD's that help with the basics?
Or webpages?
Would like something to read or watch that would help me progress in the right dirrection but there is so many books etc that chances are I would buy something crap.
