Hi everyone, my name is arad ralami, Recently I've bought an Acoustic guitar for my self and now in want to start to learning for playing some songs, when I searched about the learnings I found your community, so I decided to register, so I hope we have a great time with each other here.
Sorry if I have any mistake in my grammar, English is my second language.
Welcome Aradi !
Yo have come to the right place. There are many on the forum that can assist you in a variety of ways.
Glad to have a new member !

Thank you for your warm welcome TIGLJK
Welcome to the Community Arad ! No worries about your grammar, American English is my first Language..... and I'm sure many of my English friends would think mine is terrible.
We make ourselves understood though, and that is what counts.
Pull up a chair, tune up, and make yourself comfortable..... you are in good company.
And it is warm welcome from me too.
Enjoy the Forum and the help that other Members can give you. Never be afraid to ask questions thinking it might be silly as the only silly question is the one you do not ask 
We have all had to learn, some of us started a long time ago (with me it was 62 years ago) but there is always something new we can learn about music and playing guitar.

What style of music are you ingterested in learning?
and a welcome from me Aradii. we all have to begin somewhere. i suggest lean simple open chords, practice rhythm/strumming and don't try to run before you can walk...take it slow in other words.
it's good to have new friends to talk to from the middle east...welcome again
Hey Aradi,
Welcome to you. I am a new member too. I have been playing on and off (mostly off) for 50 years. My only advice is enjoy the hell out of it man. Learn everything you can but take it slow. You will have more fun if you don't expect to play like Eddie van Halen from the beginning. We all start somewhere. Crawl first then you get callouses. Lol...see ya around. Don't worry about your grammar. You will be understood just fine.
Welcome.
@beamer For now I prefer Classical.
@Phill Williams Thanks for your warm welcome and the suggestion my friend.
@inonit69 Thank you for sharing your advice with me my friend.
@beamer For now I prefer Classical.
Classical guitarists have the maddest skills. I tried to learn classical one of the times I started, and despite having been a classical bassist at one time in my life and being familiar with the learning approach to classical music and reading a score, classical guitar was outside my grasp and strumming Willie Nelson songs with simplified arrangements became much more appealing to me.
Best of luck to you, because if you learn to play classical you'll learn terrific skills and theory that translates to other forms of music and you'll be well positioned to play anything at all.
Welcome to Chordie Aradii I wish I had learnt classical when I was younger. It gives you skills to play all sorts of music.
@zurf I didn't know the classical is hard for learning, It seems I have a difficult path.
@Peatle Jville Thank you for your motivation.
Arad like you I started learning guitar through Classical, but self-taught. Good lessons would be helpful for awhile to avoid bad habits early on. I should ask, have you training in other instruments such as piano? The skill of reading standard notation and a basis in music theory is a real asset. From there it is mainly developing familiarity with where the notes occur on the fretboard and lots of practice, practice, practice.
The folks here on Chordie are very good at providing encouragement and helpful advice as you may need, so coming here was a good place to join in.

@Peatle Jville Thank you for your motivation.
Jsut because it was difficult for me doesn't mean it will be difficult for you. You should follow your path, with encouragement from your Chordie folk!
