Welcome, Rookieboy. Sites like chordie.com has chords and tabs for millions of songs. Do a google search for guitar chords and lyrics and you'll find whatever you're into. Good luck.


Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

Welcome --- I'm new also ----

I'd also suggest the lessons on the site, in fact on any new site I find I think its a good idea to check out their tool bar and see what is available.

Google is my friend, any of the search engines can look up "stuff" and lead you to different sites.

I've found this site to be informative and polite. Ask specific questions and someone will help.

Good luck.

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!
