There are so many things to learn, it's overwhelming.
Can you tell me all the things I should buy to learn and the steps to learning?
I want to teach myself but I need to get started some how.
I have around 500 dollars. I'm not sure if that's enough or not since I'm not sure what to buy besides the guitar (of course), amps, guitar picks, and the tuner.
Buy transcriptions of music by your favorite artists and learn it. Typically these are a sheet music and tablature transcription of an entire album by a given artist. As you learn the nuances of the guitar parts in your favorite songs, you can play along to them and increase your dexterity on the instrument. A guitar teacher can be useful for many people, but I always preferred teaching myself.
