Hi puys
Thanks for starting this thread.
I bought an Acoustic Guitar 2 months back. Had also bought a DVD along with it on "Teach Yourself - Guitar".
The DVD provided me all info like parts of Guitar, holding a guitar/pick, chords, strumming, picking. It also included the various rhythms like reggae, blues, modern rock, bar chords, classic rock, rhythm using dead strums, jazz/hip hop rhythm.
The DVD has been really useful for me to understand the basics as well as to try out the various chords and rhythms. I would be going through the DVD a number of times and would me making note of the Fret position/String position/Which finger to use.
I am taking my time to learn this wonderful instrument. As my friend told me "Don't be in a hurry to learn guitar, take your time. You should enjoy learning and should not make an effort to learn."
