Here's a link to what I think is hands down the best website for teaching guitar. Yes, it costs money to subscribe, but they are really well done videos that IMO are probably the next best thing to live lessons. When you subscribe to level 2 you get access to all of their videos of which there are an unreal amount. They have everything from absolute begginer courses to theory to intermediate and advanced and every style you might be interested in. My only problem is that being a little ADD, I tend to jump from course to course and don't ever stick to one long enough to finish.

I have been working through the 21 day course there and so far I like it...very easy to follow. My fingertips are numb now.

[Falling Man]

So you got the next TG podcast song covered?

[rabb]

can I play it in terribly strummed A and E chords?

[miketheknife]

Screw that, I want to hear it in Bb and B7 chords

The finger soreness will be your biggest obsticle for sure. Once your fingertips start to get calloused, you will be amazed by how much cleaner your chords start to sound.

I have to say I am really enjoying this even after only a week or so. I have been trying to dedicate at least a half hour nightly to practicing, and even with only learning 3 chords so far I am starting to get my strumming down a bit and learning to actually switch chords without it being a complete mess (it's still a mess).

I wish I had done this years ago

[Falling Man]

Good job dude. Pick out any simple songs yet?

[miketheknife]

I have this and it's awesome

[rabb]

Well, sorta'

They have the tabs for London bridges and shit like that which I try just to get rhythm and changing chords and all that but last night I started trying to play Imagination by the Stones (yes I know they didn't do the original) because I know the song so it seemed like it would make it easier knowing how it SHOULD go

I have to play very slow, and my chords aren't clean yet but it's getting better with practice

[Falling Man]

with only learning 3 chords so far

"Lotus You Suck" is only G, C, and D chords. Just sayin.

[rabb]

lol

I only know A, E and D right now....are there sites with simple songs that aren't mary had a little lamb type shit?

[miketheknife]

I read that there's a book with them a few posts up.

Also, this site which I posted earlier

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/

Just do your search and ignore anything that says 'tabs', what you want is 'chords'

There are actually a lot

[rabb]

I thought I replied to your Eagles one, I am sorry...I meant to. It looks like a winner, I put it on my wish list for later

[miketheknife]

Hehe no problem, i just wanted to be an ass for a second


Here is one of my favorite tabs from that ultimate guitar site, most of the chords are pretty easy
