Get a teacher!
Hi, I hope this may inspire anyone out there who loves the guitar and everything to do with it. I have owned a guitar since I was 15 and am now 54. In all that time, although I learned the basic chord shapes, I never really got to the point where I could play anything. Also I couldn't fathom out how music works and how music theory relates to guitar playing. I tried all kinds of self-teaching methods, even now the tutorials on DVD, but got nowhere.
About to give up as being talentless, I finally decided to to give it one last chance and get some help (tuition, I mean, not a shrink!). I found a local teacher and already, AFTER JUST ONE LESSON, I find I can play a little and am starting to understand all that baffling theory. Now when I read all the good stuff on the Guitar For Beginners website, it all starts to make sense.
So, if you can, spend some money on lessons. Find a good teacher to point you in the right direction. Then start using all the self-help resources to back that up. It's never too late!
