When learning to drive a car my dad insisted on teaching me everything about how to operate it because he said, quite rightly, "it is a waste to pay someone just to teach you how to use a clutch and turn the wheel, I'll teach you to drive a car and your instructor can teach you to pass the test" let us see if I can get you the fundamentals nailed down and get you excited about playing the guitar, then we can pass you on to an expert who can take you all the way to expert level. If you aren't sure you are going to stick with it then putting money into lessons right from the off can seem a bit of a waste, especially to learn the fundamentals. Learning to play the guitar or any instrument for that matter can be a daunting task - you're handed a slab of wood with strings and dots and (usually) no instruction manual comes in the pack. Today I want to lay out the basics of playing the guitar, whether you already have a guitar and are struggling to know where to start, or are just considering taking up an instrument and want to know what road lays ahead of you then this guide should be pretty exhaustive. What that thing is may vary wildly, sometimes we will be well experienced and other times we will be a beginner trying it for the first time just like you!
