I just started to play guitar a few days ago, and I was wondering if the flood had any useful tips. Right now I am having trouble switching between chords and finger picking arpegioss.
P.S. Do you knoiw any really easy songs that can be played with the five basic chords?

Take lessons. That's the best way to learn guitar, then practice practice practice what you learned. Did I mention practice?

You're gonna suck for about six months, probably more. Just don't under any circumstances quit. You're fingers are gonna bleed, you're gonna be really bored, you're gonna think you're getting nowhere; just don't quit. I taught myself. I was miserable for months, but I got better. The first song I learned was "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream. It's a simple riff with a -blam!-in' solo. Try that.

Two words: Punk rock Nothing but bar chords and power chords. And all songs are in G. Sometimes C. Edit: Oh, and punk rock is awesome. You should play it, anyway. >.> [Edited on 07.15.2008 3:13 PM PDT]

I'll give you a tip: Don't play guitar. All these people starting guitar,playing for a month,then quitting. All those poor unused Guitars. =(

Well I call it a muted note. Sorry for bombarding you with help, but if you want to...ah nevermind!

Every song by Vendetta Red is easy to play, too. That's what I started with.

Seven nation army Smoke on the water Rock you like a hurricane Hit me with your best shot.[/quote] Reading tab is quite easy. But one thing that confused me was when it had X's. All that means is with your fret hand, you don't hold down the fret, you just kinda like...put your finger on it really lightly and strum. [/quote] Yes sir its called a dead note u put ur hand over the strings without pushing down on any frets ..... a good example is in purple haze.... when u do this it sounds sorta like a drum...

Oh me, me! Can you read Tab? Some good songs. Seven nation army Smoke on the water Rock you like a hurricane Hit me with your best shot. oh yes, and I found having a tutor being really beneficial. He was cool, I could bring him in any song, and he would teach me how to play it. You've find the right teacher. [Edited on 07.15.2008 2:56 PM PDT]
