Wanting to learn guitar

hey. im 22, ive been playing guitar since i was 5. It's a shame you regret not learning earlier, but you can pick it up anytime! my advice would be pop down your local music shop, and buy an electronic tuner. There will probably be some youtube clips, or even ask the guy in the store HOW to tune a guitar. once you have that down, the website mentioned above is pretty awesome for learning chords in general, or chords to a particular song you want to learn. There are only so many of those, might take you about 6 months to master them all, or remember their positioning on the neck. But from then on, its all practice. i would advice listening to every type of music possible for inspiration and a challenge, even if you dont like the style. Its helped me. im not at a stage where i can play any song as soon as i hear it, even once. because i can figure out the chords by ear. Obviously that took years, but you still have years! any other hints or tips you'd like, or even if you have questions on playing, message back

heheh I have my guitar at home but I never touch to it, because' I dont know how to play, that's y..but whenever i see guitar or someone is playing guitar I feel very bad, I wonder how could they know and play so perfect?...playing guitar and piano are my favorite, of course I will learn it soon cause i've seen some of my friends they studying about musical instruments at school, maybe next year :)...u can learn any musical instruments u want at school, try, good luck, both of us ;)

My sister started to be interested in learning guitar for these recent years, she bought a wooden one to practice with; she composes songs and sings, recently she wants to purchase an electronic one, I hope she won't give up and word hard on playin guitar if she is really interested in it. I think she learns it on the internet and ask people, she never had any lessons, so maybe she is really talented in it.

Yes is no yet to late so you can start to learn to sing a quitar.My advice is for not a waist your time to find an instructor and you farther you can play with own quitar.

I have been playing guitar for three years, I guess I'm still learning. I've found a few sites that helped me a lot, you can try www.ultimate-guitar.com . I know other cool websites, if you want to check them out, let me know, but www.ultimate-guitar.com got everything that you need and also has a lot of tabs.

well, which guitar genre would you like to spend most of your learning time with? and, which particular songs are you interested to play on? Do you wish to do lead, or rhythm while doing the second voice shouting at the back? do you wish to play pentatonic like clapton, spanish tunes like santana, or just a plain balladeer with the M7 so not so easy chords of Gates or Don Mclean? yes, 'reploid' gave a good site,ultimate guitar.... and still, you have lots of beginners to pro guitar teachers in youtube... try these out. but, right now, really, the first thing to do is choose the guitar you wish to play, be it accoustic or electric or classical, then choose one where the neck matches the size of your fingers for easly adaptation. i own a yamaha pacifica electric guitar, it has a small neck and is easy to rif with!

You got all the advice you needed above. All I can say is just practice hard everyday if you want to see any results.

Hi, I too have a Guitar gathering dust in the corner of the spare room. I used to get it out and sit out on the deck in the evenings Of course I can,t play. I had lessons at Primary school some basics only.I would say you would be wise to ask around locally and see if any one can start you with some lessons.Just to start you off.The more you practice the better you will be. It's great to have a friend who can play the Guitar.Get out there and do it I say.
