You have to forget about what other people say; when you're supposed to die, when you're supposed to be lovin'. You have to forget about all these things. You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.

Not funny he's right, practice is the only way you'll get good at anything.

Re: I am new at gutair

Both Jerome and Bootlegger are correct there is no easy way you literally have to practice till it hurts.

I am very curious though, back in July you posted a message that your parents would not let you have an electric guitar and a lot of advice was given to you at that time. Have you managed to persuaded them to let you have one?

Take care,

Re: I am new at gutair

Again: practise a lot.
Never CROSS THE BORDER, by playing, or trying to play: if you start and 15 minutes later, you don't like to play: STOP PLAYING.
Notice that your fingers are starting to hurt, caused by the fingersettings, taking a chord.
We all passed this stage, and it is absolutely noyhing to panic: the top your fingers, will getting "thicker"', but even I have to stop because of pain like still almost all of us.
There are 2 options: you can go to a guitar teacher, or you start playing on your own. I am NOT a guitar "God", but I play pretty good, and I got a lot of information and support here on this site. You can ask anything you want, there are NPO STUPID answers.
Important: a lot of young people are to greedy, and I hope that you accept the fact that you improve your skils only by picking up your guitar, and play. Take the major chords maybe first, but if you are able to play other chords it's a good thing. If you start to feel bad on a chord, take another. A nice way to the path of glory is: play along with a CD of bands you like. I remember me buying VIDEOS and BOOKS, 15 -20 years ago, at that time there was no internet, so look for nice sites.
As Roger sais: what kind of guitar do you have right now?
