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

What is the first thing I should learn about electric guitar?

I want to learn to play…just bought a Les Paul guitar. What should I learn first?

a LES PAUL is your FIRST GUITAR?!
holy crap.

beautiful.

i’d suggest learning scales first.
Or even just learning your basic chords (C, E minor, A minor, and D are relatively easy… check out http://www.berm.co.nz/chords/ for diagrams and stuff.)
But don’t go completely by my word; If i were you I would get guitar lessons, and work out a plan with your instructor that is suited to you. (Many music stores that sell guitars offer guitar lessons. If they don’t offer them, they can tell recommend a good place.)

Good luck man,
i bet you’ll be rocking in no time.
