Guitar Courses Reviewed: Most Aren't Worth A Lick!

I need to learn how to play guitar for my dad's memory?

My dad died in my 8thgrade year…but the christmas before her died he gave me an acoustic guitar for christmas. I amnow a senior in High school and I still have the guitar, I have always felt guilty for not learning how to play it but I really feel as tho i want to learn how toplay it, for my dad and for myself. But i dont know where to start. What are some good tools or books that could help me

I taught myself to play with the Mel Bay Learn to Play the Guitar book.
