my name is Chris. i have a steel string acoustic guitar. i've never played it though. not really. but now i really do. i want to play "you are my sunshine". it's my favorite song. beyond that though, i've listened to some classical guitar songs and i really enjoyed them. i think i'd like to learn how to play a good classical song like "canon" or something. i've already read about tuning and chords and all that information. i found it really helpful.
Download the PDF of the 'Guitar Chord Slide Rule', print it out, fold it together and you'll have at your disposal a very neat tool that will not only show you all the positions for the main flavors of chords, but will also teach you a very important lesson about how the guitar works... It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!
