Teach yourself the guitar?

Question: Teach yourself the guitar!?

I just got a Squier Fender, first guitar ever!. And I am pretty much teaching myself how to play!. I have a friend who is leaving town who is helping me when he can, he plays awesome!. But I was wondering what material can I find on the internet to help me!. I bought Wal-Mart's First Act teach it yourself book, but it is not helpful!. So what can I get!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

First, learn your major chords (G,C,D, then A,E,F,B)
Then learn minor chords!.
Practice switching chords until you can do it without thinking about it!. You should also learn barre chords (E shape and A shape)

Pick a few scales to start practicing!. The Major scale is a must!. The penatonic scale is fun and easy to apply to almost any kind of music!.

The most improtant thing is to play every day!. Even if you don't feel like it, at least pick up the guitar and run through some things!. You're not going to be great overnight, but if you put in the effort, it's totally worth it after a few years!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yea u can do it, just download some torrents that show u how to play!. they have instructional videos made to show u how to play!. they work well but the problem is if ur doing something wrong theres no one to correct u!.

obviously its better to learn from an instructor but u can definitely learn from watching videos too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
