learning guitar
Well, i really want to learn to play guitar. But i want to be very discreet about it. so, no lessons. And preferably no online courses. Does anyone know any DVD lessons? A book would work too, but i'd much prefer a DVD. suggestions??
oh, if anyone has suggestions on what guitar to buy (under $200), that'd be fantastic too. thanks!

I got a DVD from Barnes and Noble called Simply Guitar. The DVD came with a lil book and flash cards. It's worded pretty well for me. Barnes and Noble has tons of books and DVDs that teach you how to play instraments, so if you can't find Simply Guitar I'm sure there'll be something else that's as useful.
The DVD and book has some guide lines as what to look for when purchasing a guitar. It says that you should look for low action, this means that the distance between the strings and fret board is slight, but they don't actaully touch. This makes it easier for pressing down yours fingers and such. That's really about all I know for purchasing a guirtar.
Hope I helped.

Okay well any music store near by to you should sell beginner music books. I bought a begginners book called "Progressive: Guitar method book 1. Beginner" which had 2 cds to help. Shop around for guitars, if your just starting to learn, you should get a nylon string to begin with. These are usually around $100 and mine came with a dvd to help play the guitar. Get an electronic tuner to help you tune it properly and in most beginner books there is instructions on how to tune your guitar. I learnt how to play guitar by myself and it took a while but now i know how to play it at an intermediate level. In most books there is a chords chart which really helps when your looking up song tabs because alot of the chords on the net arent properly shown so a chord chart gives you a better sound. For song tabs, i use www.ultimate-guitar.com which has alot of songs on there. Good luck with your guitaring! Love xXxPuNki-PiXiExXx
