Right, er, my sister seems to have bought me a guitar – Page 2 – Chat Forum

Out of the blue. Arrived half an hour ago. I've never previously professed any aspiration to own or play a guitar (not that I necessarily have anything against it). Putting aside the "WTF?", and assuming/knowing that I now can't just flog it cos she'll take the hump, what's the best way of learning to play a half-decent tune?

Have you tried any bar chords yet?

Barre chords are tricky if you've never done them before; try power chords as an interim. You play the bottom note with your index, then next string using ring finger two frets up and Little finger next string same fret as the ring finger. It's the simplest form of chord because it has no major or minor note. Works almost everywhere on the neck with the exception of the top two strings 🙂
