My regards to the community. I already have a taste of music as I played Saxophone for 6 years and sang in choir for 5. I want to have my fingers going on an acoustic guitar. I already own 2. . I was wondering if anyone could tell me a good way to start out. What should I be doing, etc... That kind of stuff. Any advice would be great.
Thanks |

hmmm... I remember getting a 50 beatles hits songbook with chords.. it was difficult but knowing the music and attempting to play gave me a reference point instead of trying to play "Red River Valley" or some other pointless tune. So.. find the music that motivated you to start and go for it. Eventually, you will develop calluses and your fingers won't hurt so much. Also, get an electronic tuner and use it before you pick up your guitar to play.. then you will know it's you and not the guitar that sounds out of tune. Enjoy!!
