Learning to play guitar...

(1/3) > >>

maxusy3k:
Hey all... since most people here seem to be fairly proficient in playing instruments, I thought I'd seek out your advice...

I've decided that playing the first few notes of 'Nothing Else Matters' and 'Seven Nation Army' isn't enough anymore and so I want to try and learn to play at a reasonably competent level. I'm not going for anything too amazing, just would like to be able to hold my own, basically...

So... my point is, any hints, tips or exercises I should follow, on your experience? I can't afford any formal lessons so I'm going to have to learn it myself, which is probably going to delay me even further.

Any help would be very, very greatly appreciated.

KharBevNor:
By a book. I recommend 'Complete Learn to Play: Rhythm Guitar Manual' by Peter Gelling. I can't recommend you much more though, as I myself am only a quarter of a way through said publication.

Signum_Tenebrae:
Buy a book and learn theory (not just theory on the guitar, general music theory also)

ASturge:
Yes, theory is a must for any musician.

FruitKat:
It's really hard to say "this is how to play guitar" over the internet. So I say go get lessons, if you're serious, this may be uncool, but at least you'll get the right technique instead of starting out wrong like me and being super crap. Then you'll be able to play cool stuff.

Oh and theory ROCKS!...
