Is there such thing as an online tuner!? The part that I struggle most with is tuning the guitar!. Are there any useful sites or books that can help me learn basic cords and songs!? Your help is much appreciated!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: There are online tuners!. They don't actually tune your guitar for you but show you the sound each string makes!. The easiest thing top do is buy a chromatic tuner!. To learn chords, I just have a chord book that I use!. It has most every chord in it!. They also have chord finders, where you insert the chord you want to know and it tells you what variations there are!. To learn songs, I use tabs!. Just search for tabs for the song you want to learn!. Some tabs are bad, but most of them are pretty accurate!.Www@QuestionHome@Com http://www!.howtotuneaguitar!.org/ Www@QuestionHome@Com this should help if you plan on teaching yourself!. I have been playing the guitar since the march of this year!. 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!.)
