    About 2 years ago I bought an Encore Electric guitar for around 200 euro. I started to learn but then life etc. got in the way before I got anyway (even learnt anything). So now I'm here and want to learn again. I know some of the basic chords and small parts of some songs.

    What would be the best way to go about learning? Should I get a teacher or try learn on my own? What songs and easy to learn (and I don't mean easy for an advanced intermidate player, I mean easy for a new player who knows, as I said, just a few simple chords.

    You can say "learn the chords first" etc. but I feel thats too boring. It doesn't feel productive. A song that includes the chords so that I would I can learn them while learning the song.

    btw, songs with a rthyme or distinct sound would be the best so I know if I'm playing it right when I listen to the song. (like not covered with bass or drums)

    Thanks:v:

    Try Tangerine by Led Zeppelin it uses fairly easy chords with small embellishments, for the verse parts anyway... I'd probably recommend getting lessons to start off with, that's what i did and it gives you a good enough grounding in the basics...

    What mightn't be a bad idea would be to teach yourself for a while, (maybe develop your own style a bit if that's what you'd like) then get some lessons to brush up your technique.

    I suppose it all hinges on what exactly you'd like to do. Do you want to be able to strum a few chords to play at parties? Or do you want to be able to play lead, solo's etc.? Or are you interested in eventually writing your own stuff?
