The single most important thing you need to do though is practice. 15 minutes a day. Practice your scales, chords, strumming…anything to get your fingers used to moving the way you need them to. Any good instructional DVD should give you a good idea of how to practice effectively.

Good luck.

If you have a lot of will power you can do this. Check the web for sites that include guitar instruction.

Alos, like all music, you should get some CDs of the guitar players you really like and you should listen to them over and over and over. Trying to learn by listening will get you ready for playing in a group.

And, once you have learned some basic stuff, try to look around for some guitar camps where you can go and get some personal workshop classes from real guitar geniuses. There are quite a few of these camps around and they are a lot of fun. One of the famous ones is Swannanoa Camp in North Carolina

Play nice!

So if you really want it, do. And practice every day, that’s important. Don’t worry about sounding bad at first. It took me five years just to get to a point where I started to like myself. It takes time, but damn it is worth it!

Best of luck to you.

I kept going over those until it sounded like the ones i heard before. It takes time. it wont happen overnight
