Go to your local library and check out how-to books and dvd's.I need beginer advice on how to play the guitar?
Get a good guitar tuner such as a Korg or Boss tuner. Should come with instructions. Trying to tune by ear as a beginner is not advised.
Once you've got it tuned check out guitar tab for some songs you like by searching on Yahoo or Google or whatever you normally use, there's loads of sites.
Or buy a chord book and practice making the shapes on the fretboard while learning to strum in time.
Call a music shop you trust and ask for lessons. I started a week ago and it's going really well. Your fingers will hurt for a few days but you will be surprised at how fast it goes. They will teach you about tuning - but get a little electronice tuner. They cost about $20 and make tuning so much easier. Good luck!
You really have to take lessons.
Very few are naturals that can be really good solo.
There's a way to tune by sound and pressing on one string at a time but its to complicated to write down but easy to show. Your best shot is to buy a tuner. I know how to tune by ear but I would still buy a small tuner.
Easy way to learn for beginner is to start learning songs with few keys repeating itself. Like G, E, C
I have to warn you when you first start its addicting but your fingers hurt and harden from the strings.
Find someone to teach you the basics. get a one on one lesson.
well you can buy a tuner and it will come with instructions! you can also get instructional videos on how to play the guitar! they helped me alot
Get yourself a good chord book and go for it (that's how I taught myself.)
Also, if you have problems with sore fingers you might considered going to lighter gauge strings to start off with (Super Slinky).
Most important, don't get discouraged. Like many things it takes time and a lot of practice, just keep at it.
lessons at my guitar music place only cost about $16 dollars per session, so it would be good if at least once a month or whenever you're stuck to pay for a quick session
Just take the pick (or your fingers) and strum away, it makes a nice sound that people will pay money to hear.
Play guitar? hmm i leared how to nimbly move my hands by playing Guitar Hero II and it works makes you move faster from the frets.
ha, im in the same place..i actually dont have a guitar yet..
get a tuner.
get a beginners book or learn tab and play bands songs like avenged sevenfold like i did...
but start with a beginners book
Honestly you should just get lessons, i tried reading books and whatnot on how to play bass. nothing helps like having a teacher there so you can ask questions and stuff. stick with it, playing guitar is the best escape for me so i hope you do well.
