Im not the best of guitar players so there are probaly alot of people out there that could answer this question better but I recommend ebay.com. they have a guitar begginer computer program that you can purchase for pretty cheap. It teach some of the basics and starts you off slow and picks up gradually. The songs you will learn are mostly older ones and arent probably going to be what you hoped to learn but the value isnt the songs but the learning of the material and getting your fingers going and learning how to change chords smoothly and timely. But how ever you choose to start out make sure to have fun its what its all about.
