guitar music
i have played piano for over 6 years now and wanted to start learning the guitar. i didnt really want to have lessons but i was hoping there might be some sites on the net with some free beginners music.
i have done a google search and found a couple but i was hoping someone might be able to tell me like a really good one or something...thanks!

Want to answer more questions in the Hobbies category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
the easiest and fastest way to learn, is through tabs. they're simple enough for any idiot to learn and can teach you any style of music you want to learn (which keeps you on track because you're more likely to practice your favorite band's songs than you are to practice mary had a little lamb). Once you outgrow tabs start learning theory and scales and whatever, but you'll know exactly what to do by the time that step comes.
hope i helped,

While I don't want to sound like a jerk, I would recommend parusing some of what I've written in the past in my column:

I've talked quite a bit of shop regarding guitar, bass, and music in general.
In addition, I've found Harmony Central to be useful: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
OLGA has a wealth of resources and links to other excellent material: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
And THIS has been one of the handiest sites ever: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
I still think the best way to start, once you've sort of messed around with the guitar to get a feel for it in your hands, is to try to choose a song you like with a solid but not too terribly difficult guitar riff and just try to learn to plan the main riff... and really just build from there. Even trying to play nursery rhymes / kids songs melodies is a good idea. You already know how "Baa Baa Black Sheep" sounds... so experiment and make your guitar play the same melody. It is a great way to learn a feel for the neck/fretboard, and a great way to train your ear.
Since you've been paying piano, you've got a good head-start. I'm not sure how much training you've had at playing by ear, so just keep that in mind. Also, it might be worth your while to try to take melodies you already know how to play on piano and learn them on guitar. Same for chord voicings - that last site I linked gives you chord mappings based on settings you feed the interface - it is very handy for looking up chords like Fm7b9b13...
Feel free to ask me music/guitar related things if you so choose.
Good luck!

If you are able to read tablature, in which most guitar music can be easily written and read (which is why most is written this way) you can find it at taborama.com
If you are looking for actual note reading stuff.. you're going to have a hard time finding it online - but your local music store should have some books. (obviously not free though)

cyberfret.com has a lot of theory that helps if you dont want to take lessons.
honestly, i recommend them, but you can teach yourself
