You might try the Internet and see if there are any free guitar lesson available.

Good luck.

learn the Pentatonic scales.

I took lessons for 4 years. They will teach you every form of music, classical, rock (pentatonic blues), theory, Hispanic (melguaina is an assume form of rock solo) You need to learn the basics before you can step to the next level.

Find a teacher for a while, until you learn the basics- fingering, how to read tabs, etc., then when you feel you can start to play other songs, get rid of the teacher. If you fail miserably, then you can always go crawling back :)

in this day and age you don't learn to play just plug it in and bang a way not like in my day
