Does anyone have any decent sites/info on modes? Really can't find anything with a decent introduction to them!

Here is an online bass and guitar tuner. It needs Flash and is a little awkward to use as you have to hover over the strings but I find it quite useful.

Here is a tool to help memorise the notes on the guitar fretboard. Flash is also required for this one.

Hands down the best guitar lessons you'll ever find on the internet.
Justin's method is easy, fun and really helpful for becoming a good guitarist. I've been playing guitar for over 3 years and I still regularly keep visiting his website cuz his lessons are just amazing to make you a good guitarist.

Especially his beginner lessons are exactly what every beginner needs to nail down the guitar basics and fundamentals.
I'ld say look nowhere else on the internet for guitar lessons cuz this guy is the best when it comes to teaching guitar!! Especially for the beginners.

I got a free 7 day subscription to Jamplay.com when I bought a Kyser capo and I found it very helpful. They had more tutorial videos than I could hope to get through, with good teachers in lots of genres.

Other than that, I would have to add my +1 to everyone recommending Ultimate Guitar.

YouTube is also great for lessons, some really good and some are just average.

You'll develop calluses soon enough, the more you play the harder the skin on your fingers will get! I've been playing 13 years and I mine still get a bit sensitive after a few hours of playing

When people say practice as much as you can,this is easy if you are making some kind of music not so if you are not,,,

Do you know all the chords?

How many rhythm patterns do you know?

Any scales?

How many songs can you play the full way through?

This should keep you busy! Learning guitar was the best thing I ever decided to do, couldn't imagine my life without it! Stick with it, you'll get better over time!

I went to the Justin Guitar site very helpful,
I know the cords but putting them together is hard work.
Will keep on strumming ..

I'm using www.guitartricks.com

Ive found the vids really useful and am at the moment struggling F to B and back

Its costs a few quid for the year, about the same as a Dublin teacher for 4 lessons so if you look at it that way its not so bad!

kinda true, when i started playing i was a on/off practicer for 2 years(basiclly once in a blue moon) before i really got down to regular practise, the pain on the fingertips and fear of snapping strings can throw a load of people off regular playing

i owe the start of my playing to a few hour long lessons at my local collage for a tenner a lesson,
and the majority to ultimateguitar.com ()and total guitar/guitarist mags, those two mags are my bibles are i'd recomend em to anyone beginner or pro

[forfcksake]

just wondering guys, i have started the beginners course on justinguitar.com and find it good, a friend has just given me the learn and master (steve krenz) dvds and now i dont know which one to follow, what do you guys think?
