Ive just started to learn guitar and was wondering if there are any good sites around that can teach my basic guitar. I don’t really want to pay for lessons yet to be honest 
There is no easy way… let’s just say practice makes perfect.
You can easily play tabs found on the internet because they are usually marked off with the string and fingering.
Practice different chords by going to chordfinder.com to get the fingering. Then you can play other tabs that just give the note.
