I joined this site a year ago, and so far, I can honestly say I don't regret it. The lessons are very high quality, and I don't think I could find a better place to learn to play guitar. And the best thing is: You can always review a lesson as many times as needed and you can learn at your own pace.
[QUOTE=Maanimaani]Are there any classes you recommend? I'm planning to start from basics lesson one. Any help or support would be welcome!

Actually, yes, there is. There's the Core Learning System which is actually 4 different courses you can go through. The best idea will be to start with the Guitar Fundamentals Level 1 course, which covers exactly what the name implies; the very basics of playing guitar. Once you've gone through that, there's the Guitar Fundamentals Level 2 course, which digs into some more advanced, but important subjects like scales and music-theory, as well as Barre Chords. After that, you can choose freely, but I recommend going checking out the Rock, Blues or Country Courses, depending on what style of music you want to play, as those help you get the techniques right, help you get a great tone for your gear and give you an idea of how to make music in those respective styles.

And the general rule is: When in doubt, ask away on the forums.

Have fun with your guitar-playing :)
