Learn various picking patterns and how to read music (including tablature.) All songs are not put to sheet music. Listen to music and get a feel for what you want to play. Pick up some magazines guitar world and total guitar are great... guitarworld.com and totalguitar.com... read and study the lessons. Learn theory, theory involves everything music and gets to the nitty-gritty of whats behind the beauty.

Buya guitar, start a band and send me samples of your demos~!

Picking patterns, and songs that you can play with others.

get a guitar hero's 3 for your playstation and you will be a star.

listen to music for hours!!! learn to imitate music you like this gives you more of a diverse abilty to one day just be able to play stuff right from your head, all great songwriters learn this way, also learn really learn to read music, not TAB!

Learn regular chords and then learn bar chords. You will also want to learn scales, as well as strumming and picking skills. If you really want to get hard core, then start getting into music theory, and alternate non E based standard tuning. Throw a capo in, and you're pretty much set to learn how to play just about any song you've ever heard ...

Oh yah ... and if you really want to be a credible musician you'll want to learn how to read real music ... not just tableture.

Learn to READ music and you'll be better off. But you should learn scales within the chords. The chords themselves are made up of notes withing a scale and once you have an understanding of notes and scales you will begin to figure out chords and modified chords. Good Luck and enjoy
