[QUOTE="Mayo5, post: 6945720, member: 32971"] [url]www.ultimate-guitar.com[/url] and [url]www.cyberfret.com[/url] are the best two free places on the net IMO. I took lessons for almost 2 years for acoustic; they helped out alot but it wasn't what I was looking for, so I broke away and taught myself the rest and am enjoying myself immensely. Don't worry about sheet music unless you really wanting to get into theory; but for just casual fun on the side, stick to tabs. Tabs are used with numbers of the frets. e 0 b 1 g 2 d 3 a 0 E 0 That makes out a C chord. When you ever see something like that shape; they are a type of chord. So you play the 6th(E) string, 5th(a) open. and Place you finger on the 3rd fret of the 4th string(d); and so on. In Summary for tabs: Just place your fingers on the number of the fret they tell you to for that specific string. ^ = upstroke V = down stroke \ and / = slide. ( They will also sometimes use the letter s. Ex. 0000 3s5. Place your finger on the third fret and slide to the 5th fret) b = bend. Bend the string either up or down.( 10b8. So you will pluck the 10th fret; and then press on the 8th fret and bend the string.) h = hammer (Hammering on means you play a string; then press onto another string without picking it. EX. On the 6th String(E) 000000 3h2 00000 5h4 p = pull-off. ( Pull-off's are pretty similar to Hammers, but instead of pressing onto another string you; you pull off the string. 00000 3p1 00000 5p3) There is a very bland and generic summary of tabs. Both of the sites mentioned above; are great and have tons of lessons and videos to help you. Enjoy. [/QUOTE]
