No matter how frustrating it seems, never give up the guitar. Ultimately, persistence will reward you.

Welcome to the boards! There's a lot of stuff on here that you will find useful, just take a look around the tricks section and see for yourself.

Remember to have fun, playing guitar shouldn't be anything less.

Welcome!!

My suggestion for beginners is to buy a tuning mechanism of some type; wheather its a tuning fork or electronic tuning device. Learn how to use it and PLAY in tune. This makes what comes later much easier and understandable. Rock on !!

with lessons, you have to learn at least one thing every lesson...
If not, move on to another instructor......
There will be a big learning curve and, you will hit ruts.....
but, remeber.......have fun fun fun....
