Hi,
My son wants to learn the guitar over the summer holidays. Any good websites or books to try before we spend money on lessons?
He's got grade 5 on the French Horn so he can read music.

Thanks,
R

Look at http://www.guitarnoise.com/

David Hodge does some superb tuition and it's all free.

Well recommended.

Thanks,

You need 'the gift'

Here's another self taught genius:

And! added bonus he also proves there is no requirement for 'looks'!

Teddy Bare, was that from 'Sniffin Glue'?

The instruction manual that launched a whole herd of punk bands. Happy days.
