The first thing to get down is the principles of guitar. try http://www.guitarprinciples.com ! Oh please GOD, go there, I just found the site the other day ( after a year or more playing, Can't remember great ) and it shocked me to learn that I was doing literally EVERYTHING wrong. I was sitting wrong, my left hand technique needed quite a bit of work, I pretty much had to start over on my right-hand technique, there is a book to buy ( best $28 bucks you'll ever spend ) but my playing improved unbelievable just from what was on the site. No more strings ringing during solos! I'm psyched about this site, check it out, or you'll wind up like me; I'm having to UNDO all my previous muscle memory from skipping these basics a year ago and jumping right into my favorite tunes and learning theory. This site will teach you how to practice, without that, any hope of becoming a skilled guitarists is dead.
