Help on learning Acoustic Guitar?

2nd December 2008

Hi, I have always wanted to learn acoustic guitar. I have a dvd from fender, “guitar for beginners.” But in the video, the guy uses an electric guitar, not acoustic, can i still learn from the dvd. I think it is hard to learn cords and how to hold the string down because i have chubby fingers.

Any advice on how to learn guitar quickly, or places i can learn from. Im kinda scared to take guitar lessons alone, and i don’t know why.

heres the guitar ive been trying to play:

IM SURE I HAVE AN ACOUSTIC

just learn ultimate-guitar.com and youtube.

figure out some chords

get used to those chords until your hands hurt

play em alot

use them to make songs and chord proggressions

learn pentatonic scales, theyre easy and theyre based on the chords you learn

use the scales to write songs, and solos

learn to read TABS

go on ultimate-guitar.com find songs that you like and learn them

practice practice practice

learn the fretboard with a book guide you can buy from a guitar shop

practice practice practice

    yeah ummmm, that isn’t a guitar, that’s a bass guitar. you don’t play chords on a bass guitar. a guitar has 6 strings not 4. so that’s why you are having trouble

    As a musician, I can tell you finger size or length mean nothing. Also, the most rapid way to learn on any guitar is daily practice and dedication.
