It will tell you the very very very very basic to the guitar. even how to hold it and what every peice of the guitar is called. it is wicked site i strongly recommend.

Hi there Powell!

Your first axe. That's great! You will get plenty of use out of it on this site, for sure. BTW, welcome along.

Here is a pointer to some things that I learned when I bought my first guitar. Check out the link: http://www.jcdisciples.org/guitar/howtobuy.html

The GfB&B Guitar Slide Rule

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!
