Question: How to play the Guitar!?
Does anyone know how I can learn to play the guitar!? I have an acoustic one that's tuned, but I can't take lessons!. What do I have to learn, like how do I read the notes!? (I've been playing the piano for around 8 years, so I know that stuff!.) Does anyone know of a good website where I can learn this stuff!?
Please don't tell me that the best thing to do would be to take lessons,as I can't!. T__T
Thanks~Www@QuestionHome@Com

First learn to read tabs!.!.!.you could probably wiki that!.

Next get a chart that shows which tab is which note!.

Extra Credit: Get a book of scales that reads in tabs and regular chart music!. Play the scales faster, and eventually your fingers will be stronger and more coordinated!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you know piano you have a really solid foundation in learning guitar because you have a basic understanding of music!. You should maybe begin by picking up Aaron Shearer's book Volume 1 Classic Guitar Technique which will be a good starting point!. Once you can do the songs and exercises in that book you will have a solid foundation in understanding the guitar and will be able to move on to more challenging works!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
