Starting guitar...
15/f, if that makes a difference.
Also, this info if it changes anything: I'm also a singer and so I know certain things, such as how to read music, the differences between a minor and major key, how to recognize what key a piece of music is in, etc.
Basically I'm not clueless about music, just about guitar. I'm fortunate enough to have a nice one, but.. I don't know where to start. I don't know what kind of pick I need, what kind of book, I can't afford lessons so please don't suggest that. I don't know any chords, how to play a chord, any of that stuff. I just don't know where to start. :/
Help?

The classic teach-yourself-guitar resource is Mel Bay. Most music stores will have the books, as will Amazon. YouTube also has a lot of instructional videos. I particularly recommend the ones by Keni Lee Burgess if you're interested in blues or slide guitar; he breaks it down to the absolute basics. Hope this helps.

Hello fellow guitar player, Here is what you ned to start. Buy an extra pair of martin Light strings. Trust me you will break strings, so always have back up. Go for a medium gage pick. Not too flimsy not too stiff just right. Medium produces a better clarity, Now There are 1 of two books you can get. Either Guitar for Dummies or Complete Idiots giude to PLaying the Guitar. Im not trying to be ofensive or call you names, But these books have great techniques and they reall teach you the chords and tabs. You can get these at your local library. Now remember keep on strumming and most of all have fun!
