There are a few things we need to get straight to make our guitar playing dreams a reality. So, first you need a space to practice in. This space needs to be away from other people as much as possible because even if you only play acoustic guitar, it will sometimes be painful to listen to. Your pracice space will probably be your bedroom, but if it's a room that another person shares with you, then you need to work out in your head WHEN you are going to practice. That's important because it means making a schedule and sticking to it. So it has to be realistic; based on how you actually spend your time now, not on rearranging your whole life. That hardly ever works out. This is important because the other things you do to start learning to play guitar are fairly concrete, like going out and buying an instrument. Visualising how oyu manage your time is a thing that happens in your head so need to be sure that you can translate that vision into real life.
Okay, we have mentioned buying a guitar, so no need to go into too much detail. I will assume you know whether you want to play an acoustic or electric guitar. You can buy guitars online, but go to a music store and try some out first so you have some idea of what you are getting when you order that bargain on ebay.
You need to be able to tune your guitar. You can download free tuners to keep on your computer or you can use an online tuner like the one at Learn How To Play A Guitar For Free. These are fine if you are going to be near your computer all the time, but if not you need to buy a physical piece of equipment for tuning guitars. An electronic tuner is the best choice, because, like some online tuners, you have a visual guide to help you if you do not trust your ear.
You will also need a metronome. For instructions on getting yourself one, read the above paragraph again, only read "metronome" where it says "tuner".
The other thing about metronomes is they can cause alot of stress if you get too fixated on playing in time. Of course you need to play correctly, but your gutiar palying needs to be fluid, working with the natural flow of your muscles, not against it. So if you do not have the benefit of a teacher to help you, use the metronome sparingly or hardly at all when you are first learning guitar. Your body will be your friend if you follow this advice.

Learn the Fretboard in Under 60 Minutes!
For many people it could take sixty years, but Advanced FretPro is the best fretboard training program in the world and also has a massive chord and scale library showing exactly how to play chords and scales on a real guitar neck instead of from a chord or scale diagram.
Knowing the guitar fretboard inside out will open up a new musical world to you. You will immediately know where to find chords anywhere on the neck as well as enabling you to develop improvisation skills. Plus you'll be able to "jam" with other musicians.
Understanding what notes you are playing will enable you to deepen your musical understanding and give you a huge shortcut on your guitar skills.

Metronome Software
It uses a real sample of a metronome ticking. It's totally configurable and has more features than many of the metronomes that are only available by paying.
If you use a metronome when practising your scales and licks, it will help you play along with other musicians and practice keeping good time. If you are playing a bit of rock, blues or jazz, then we highly recommend the downloadable drum loop software which can get you jamming along with a drummer who never gets tired, keeps great time and can change styles at the click of a mouse.

Guitar Chords eBook
Phillip J Falcoline put together a fantastic document with hundreds of guitar chord diagrams and made it freely available.
