Guys, i own a guitar and i am willing to learn, the problem is i dunno where to start and go on from there. Should i start with the chords, finger exercises, books, websites, tuning, or just random? Any of you can help me out with it?...:)

Start with a simple song that you want to do. Even if the song choice is not necessairly 'beginner' you can find adapted 'beginner' pieces that just have you pluck out the melody in the beginning to keep you interested in playing. Many 'beginner' guitar pieces and sheet music can be found on the internet. After it captures your interest, that is the time you learn the main chords, and then progress from there.

You can start on your own by looking for videos online, just amek sure to apply all the techniques and play in comofrtable tempo. This is way better than playing fast and sloppy.

If you have a broadband connection, you may go to Youtube to learn guitar. I am a beginner to guitar and started to learn from Youtube. If you are interested, you may go to the following link http://www.youtube.com/justinsandercoe (not a referral link, not my website) The link will direct you to the Youtube channel of a guitarist Justin Sandarcoe. I think this person is from london. There are hundreds of video lessons :) I found it helpful and hope you will do the same :) have a great learning!
