Lol these people are hilarious!. I have been playing the guitar since the march of this year!. I have never taken a single lesson, read a single book!. I have only read a small assortment of articles on a few guitar sites and the rest i have taught myself!. believe me, its not as hard as you think!. Just go to the internet and start by printing off a chord chart!. after this, just make a habit of practicing for 30 mins 2 or 3 times a day!. After a while, it will be second nature to come into your house, take out your guitar and start jamming!. also, whenever you want to learn a new song just go to the internet and look on sites like Ultimateguitar!.com or Guitarnoise!.com (which also has a forum for Q's) and search for some easy ones!. If you are interested in finger picking, i would start by practicing your chords for a while til your fret hand gets more dexterous then search "how to finger pick" or "finger picking drills" these will help you get more agile with your picking hand!. If you want to learn somthing else, just google it! google has so many Guitar sources (web-sites, charts, pictures, reviews, songs!.!.!.) If you printed it all off there would be no trees left on the planet earth and your printer would be asking you for more paper!. (lol im going a bit overboard, but u get the idea!.) GOOD LUCK WITH LEARNING ABOUT THE AMAZING WORLD OF MUSIC!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Get those lessons!.
If you learn to fly an airplane without lessons, I am not going to ride with you!. If you learn guitar without lessons, I am not going to want you in my group!.
If you can't afford lessons, Get together with friends who play already and get them to help!. It is still a lesson even if you don't pay!.
The Internet is a bonus, but definitely not the place to get started!.
I wish you would explain why you won't take lessons!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

ive been playing for about 9 yrs now, and ive never been taught, cause i feel if i get taught, ill learn my teachers mistakes so i never went!.

wat i did firstly was learnt how to read the simpler form of musical notation, TABS!. Once u learn this, ull be sweet and just play the songs u love and play them till u get really good at them!. play along with the tracks!. Once u get good at a song, go to a harder song, keep challenging urself!. it wont happen over night, but if u keep practising, ull soon be very good!. its all up to u and ur commitmant!. dnt learn half songs aswell, learn the whole song, i used to learn half songs, its doesnt work haha!.

good luck with it, guitar is just totally awesome, really, good luck, i hope u enjoy it as much as i doo!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
