    What are the letter names of your strings, bottom to top, please?

    Do you know the names of at least some of the strings? That's important, you know...

    The books didn't help me. My advice would be to pick it up and learn the way you would like to play it first of all.. take one string and try to figure out how to play twinkle twinkle or something simple. Then after you feel comfortable. Try hitting up youtube.com and see if you can follow some of the finger arrangements (aka chords) of some of your less complicated songs. "Knocking on heavens door " was an easy one for me at first. Keep the momentum up, for your fingers will take a brutal beating from an acoustic! Ha

    Using an acoustic guitar would be easier for a beginner player.

    For those of you who keep posting on this thread, please realize that it's a really old thread that is now archived and not generally visible, unless someone happens to visit the forum topic area where it's located.

    If you have a new question that's not in some way, an answer to the very first question at the top of the page, I would strongly suggest that you start a new thread with your new question.

    Thanks!

    I have been trying to play guitar for a bit. You should probably start with a learning guitar book.

    NOTE: It helps to start on another string instrament (violin, viola, chello, double bass)
