Hi Everyone!

I joined this site from just yesterday . I just bought a guitar two days ago and trying to find some online help to learn. While checking random sites, I checked this site out and seemed very informative, so i registered here. I bought a guitar coz i wanted to learn it and play some songs on it.

Please welcome me and give me some suggestions about free VIDEO lessons on the net so i can learn at home whenever i m free.

Thank you,

Lonely1

Hi. L1. Start here to get the basics
Brand new to playing the guitar?...read this first.
Then scroll down the main page to Nelsonite and Kirks lessons on chords and strumming. From there Go to Kirks lessons and pick one of the easier ones to learn. They all have a vid of him playing,tabs and a guitarpro file. Have fun.

That takes time. Give your self at least a month to get a couple of chords down and build up those caluses. The hard part is the first couple of months. You'll find a lot of posts here about sore fingers and the struggle with playing chords. It's normal.

Hello all Guitarists !!! : - ))

my name is Moni - I started playing guitar a free months ago.

I am interested in Blues and Rock Guitar. Also Fingerpicking.
I am wondering if there is any source in the Internet where I can get good video lessons for Blues Rock Guitar or Fingerpicking for free?
Or does anyone have DVD lessons which he/she doesn't need anymore??

The best way for me ist to see the fingers on the fret what they do !!
It would be very appreciated if you can answer me.
May be I can help you also some day !!

Thank you very much for your answer - any help is appreciated as I like it playing very much !!!!
Kind regards and have a nice day
Yours
Moni
