Guitarists

The guitar is the most popular musical instrument in the world. Great guitars are considered a piece of art and demand a price to classify. Most of the music we listen to and love have the guitar as major player. Rock on!

Im not sure if any members still post to this group but thought Id give it a go.

Ive always wanted to learn to play guitar and finally got around to giving it a try after finding a guitar in my local charity shop.

Im pleased to say that I have learnt 2 chords although changing between them is still a bit clunky!

Any help on what order to learn things in will be greatly appreciated.

Assuming the chords you have learned are open chords (fretted strings are out by the headstock and some of the strings arent fretted but still played). Go to justinguitar.com and look up his open chords you should know lesson. Learn them then search online for easy open chord guitar songs (Justin probably has some of those as well). Getting started with songs is the best motivation to keep going.

Thank you all for the advice and offers of help.

I practiced changing between chords this weekend and feel that they are getting smoother.

Ill check out that Justin website and take you all up on offers for help when I need it.

Many thanks,
