i want to play real songs not the songs that are just picking(i used to be in guitar for my elective) i really want to learn, but my mom wont let me take lessons. so i was wondering the best way on the internet or something
A lot of people will tell you to start by learning a couple basic chords and throwing them together. That's one way, but I've found that it's not the most effective way.
When I teach people how to play guitar, I start by teaching them tablature, (which you can learn to read online, it's quite simple) and then i teach them how to play Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. I teach them a dumbed-down one-string version of it for simplicity's sake.
The reason I find that this method is slightly more effective is that when people can play some chords they then say "Gee. Now what? I still don't know how to play anything." and often give up.
When someone is learning a nice simple song like Smoke on the Water, they can actually hear how much progress they are making. Plus, since it's an actually rock song, rather than a nursery rhyme (Mary had a little lamb, for instance), they feel like they are actually become good guitarists.
So, my advice to you is to learn how to read tablature and then to learn some easy songs. Some good ones to try would be
Smoke on the Water – Deep Purple
Cat Scratch Fever – Ted Nugent
Come as You Are – Nirvana
Iron Man – Black Sabbath
Holiday – Green Day
Put Your Lights On – Santana
2 Minutes to Midnight – Iron Maiden
One – Metallica
Day Tripper – The Beatles
Hope this helps.
