How to learn to play the guitar
How I did it: I had taken piano lessons for years in my town, and so signed up for guitar lessons at the same place. It was difficult to learn any chords from websites or books, I found it necessary to have someone help me with hand positions at first. Plus, lessons each week force you to practice. :)
Lessons & tips:
- guitar lessons can be pretty expensive now, but in my opinion they are worth it. i recommend starting with lessons, at least until you know the chords and basics.
- when first starting, your fingertips will be sore and callous. take this as a sign that your hands are strengthening, soon it will be easier.
- if you are bored with strumming or find it difficult to play with a pick, try finger picking. i am much better at that and find it more fun.
