The Guitar
Before we start learning
It's alway nice to have a guitar thats comfortable playing. It makes it a lot easier to learn and makes more fun to learn to play. Before buying a guitar I recommend borrowing or renting one. That way if you lose interest you don't have a guitar thats just collecting dust or perhaps ends up on ebay for cheap. Plus it helps to get the feel of the guitar and understand its comfortability. Some people may think the guitar strings are what's making the guitar uncomfortable. It can but not always.
Guitar Tabs
An easy way to learn to play guitar
One of the easiest ways to learn how to play guitar is through guitar tabs. Guitar tablature (tab for short) is a system of notation that graphically represents strings and frets of the guitar fretboard.

The graph above is what a guitar tab looks like. When reading guitar tabs you look at the left of the graph. Which tells us which string to pluck. So in this tab we are going to pluck the E string. Next we see a number. Which tells us which fret to place our finger on. So we are going to place our finger on the first fret. Often times in tabs there are zeros. Which they mean just to pluck that string open without placing any fingers on any frets. After the zero we see two numbers that over lap. Which that means you pluck both of those strings at the same time.
There are many of places to find guitar tabs. You can find them in guitar magazines, on dvds and you can even find websites that have them. One of my favorite websites to for guitar tabs is http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/

Guitar PC Software
Learn guitar with computer software
Once you have tried out the guitar tabs and got the feel of the guitar. Another easy way to learn guitar is through computer software. The computer software will show where to place your fingers and guide you through the song. With the software you can learn anything from your favorite rock song all the down to Greensleeves. Which I have a video demo a software program called Desktop Music teaching you how to play Greensleeves below.
