Can I learn guitar without a payed for lesson?
I want to learn guitar as I have an acoustic one that has been under my bed fir god only knows how many years. But I want to learn! It may just be a phase and I may grow out of it, but is there anyway I can learn without having to pay for lessons?
There are LOADS of guitar players at my school but I feel a but gay asking them if they could teach me :/
If you already play, can you also leave some tips on learning guitar?
josh answers:
Since you already have a guitar, my recommendation is to invest in a new set of strings for the guitar and a combination lesson book/video series. Check out the following website for some of the best prices around on guitar accessories and instructional materials. They have a wide variety to choose from, so browse around a while and find one that will help you meet your individual goals.

How to learn guitar and vaolin in quick time in Orissa and where particularly ?
I want to learn guitar and violin both in Cuttack in 6 months .Is it possible ?
Where in ctc i can do so ?
josh answers:
Learning Guitar and Violin at the same time? It just won’t work out very well. There is so much to learn in each instrument that even a whole lifetime would be not enough to master it. So my suggestion is to learn any one instrument and try mastering it. For women Violin is the best choice.
BTW you can learn both these instruments online these days, no need to depend on a personal tutor.
Linda asks…
how hard is it to learn guitar if you already have experience with other musical instruments?
i play clarinet and bass clarinet so i would say my hands are already flexible and nimble. would this help me learn guitar at a quicker pace? is it hard to learn as a second instrument?
also how much should i pay for a good beginner acoustic guitar? please give me any other tips you can offer.
josh answers:
You will have an advantage, but it won’t be freakishly easy, either. I learned to play the guitar after the piano, and while it was easier for me than my non-instrumental friends, it’s still a challenge, simply because you have to move your fingers not only up and down the neck but onto all six different strings as well. Of course with practice, as you already know, you’ll get it quickly. 
I bought my first for less than a hundred.
Get a self-teaching book and go from there. Good luck!

How do i learn guitar chords by ear?
I have been playing guitar for a year, completely self taught, but I never played anything but power chords. How do I learn actual chords by ear?
josh answers:
Go and get the ebook from http://guitarmanual.typepad.com its a 93 page 8 chapter instructional book for guitar. Step by step instructions that make learning guitar extremely simple, covers in detail open chords, barre chords, power chords, single notes, playing techniques, major minor and pentatonic scales and modes, chord inversions, chord construction, improvisation and much more. Videos to go along w/ pages in the ebook, all explained in detail and easy to understand , will have you at an advanced level in a short time, also help is available through email and videos. Good luck
learning chords by ear takes time, try some ear training, but first learn major, minor , 7th, suspended, major 7th etc.. And more chord types and learn what they sound like, then go into ear training.
Sandra asks…
Would Guitar For Dummies be a good book for me to learn guitar?
Hi. I want to learn guitar. Problem is every time I look at guitar tabs I get confused and don’t know what to do. I want to learn guitar before I try on another instrument and I was wondering what books would help me. Thanks I really appreciate it.
josh answers:
Sure, Guitar For Dummies would help you out. But nothing beats just sitting down with a guitar player for an hour and having him or her teach you some chords. You could pay for a lesson or two – or just sit down with a friend. Once you’ve done that a couple times, you’ll find it a lot easier to understand what those guitar tabs are trying to tell you to do.
