I was just wondering if anyone knows any good web sites to teach me chords. Or maybe if someone could email for a few poniters. Anything will be appreciated.

Thanx for your help.

I recommend finding a good Guitar teacher at your, local music Store.
That is if you can afford it?
One most important thing in starting out on your own,
is you can develop bad habits like (incorect fingeing,
of the left hand or right hand Picking.
Also do you know the names of the guitar strings,
plus can you tune your guitar?
I do recommend the the guitar (DIC) of chords,
But don't try to learn them all at once.
If you decide on a guitar Teacher make sure he can cover,
all styles of music.
Also i recommend learning the chromatic scale ,i can/t,
stress this enough. Because once you learn the notes on the,
low or high E String you will no all the notes on the ,
Guitar.
Also learning a little music theory will help you alot.
Another Tip is When you look at alot of Tab stuff you,
find on the web they don/t tell you where to place your,
fingers or which ones to use,or how many times you strike,
each note.Most Advanced guitarests like myself can catch,
these screw ups by listening to the sound file if they have one.Try to meet the best guitarests in your area if you,
can then ask alot of questions about the guitar.
Feel free to send me e-mail if you have any questions,
about chords ect ect............>Mark T.
