I was wondering if anyone knows of any programs on the internet that would teach me how to play guitar. No full of himself famous guitarist just showing off how good he is and discoraging others. I mean like a program I can download and use for free that would teach me how to play and test my skills.O yeah I only have an acoustic so lessons for acoustic guitar playing would be good. I have no idea how to teach myself guitar because I hardly know anything about it or what to play. The only thing I can play really is the main riff where its all open string for "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica. So please help me. I really want to learn this instrument.
I have tried beginners books but none work for me. I need someone else to help me out. All my friends know how but they choose to be ass holes and not help a friend out. I cant aford a teacher in person because I am not a rich stuck up guitar player.
I will state again. I can not aford a teacher. They dont come around and teach for free.
Look up Guitar Player Magazine online. Theres videos an transcriptions. Usually the forums are people just trying to show off knowlege, so you might pick up something from there. There really is not a difference between acoustic and electric, though a few techniques such as bending strings an pitch harmonics will be a little harder.
