How do I begin learning to play the guitar?

Any one know good instructors/places to start? What would be a good beginners guitar?

Thanks!

if you're from London go to gumtree and you can find one on one tutors for around £15 an hour.

Depends how serious and how much patience you have. If its long term, get an electric with amp, if your just trying out and see yourself giving up within 2 weeks as your not Slash go for a cheapo acoustic (you can pick up a reasonable beginners acoustic on ebay for around £35).

1. Learn your A, D, E and G chords and you'll be amazed how many songs you can learn.
2. Find tabs (ultimate-guitar.com) of your favourite songs and learn your favourite songs
3. Learn barre chords - You'll think they're impossible but with practice, you'll wonder what the problem was
4. Practice, practice.. etc
