Can I learn to play the guitar from Youtube videos?

Question:How effective would this be? I've just been looking at peoples' guitar lessons from certain songs. Some of them look pretty hard; like you need fast fingers. I have a guitar and I'm slowly learning.

Well first you need to learn the basics. Get a good beginners book (try amazon) and a good chord chart. Then try some of the youtube videos- they will be helpful.

YES But your wasting a lot of time.they have 4 finger chords that do the same as the others.

sure yo can if you put your mind to it anything is possible,

Go JESUS!

It depends. If you learn one single note, then you have learned some on the guitar.

Learning is something that is ongoing.

I play piano quite well, most would probably say, but I have actually never felt that I'm operating at the level I could if I could get lessons.

start slowly and the speed will come eventually. Let's face it, these guys were not born with speed.

no not really, ive been playing for around a year off and on and i started with chords, some finger picking, and power chords. haha i got adicted to guitar hero 3 and now i wanna play even more. guitar is a journey its like your building a f'n pyramid because until you learn the basics, its not very enjoyable. i've come to the point were i can forget about phsically playing and focus on the rythm and sound and its mindblowing now

yea..but there are better ways to do it, go to
