So you have bought a nice acoustic guitar or an electric guitar, a nice casing with it, some picks, spare strings, a strap a basic guitar chords book or for your electric guitar you bought yourself a great guitar amplifier and some guitar effects rack.
Maybe you have tried playing a little here and there, some of your friends showed you some tricks and gave you a few guitar lessons perhaps but you never really managed to do very well.

If you are guitar apprentice and really want learn how to play guitar well and enjoy the instrument, then you should start from scratch. Do yourself a favor and take some guitar lessons to improve your skills and learn the theory first. It's best to start to learn how to play guitar the right way then to learn some bad playing habits that will be much harder to break later. This wonderful hobby is really an outlet to release all stress of life, it is amazing how you forget everything once you are in the driver seat of a guitar. So many of us are looking for ways to release stress , from taking long vacations to reading books to watching movies, meeting friends for a coffee and so on. Recent studies are showing that playing an instrument not necessarily the guitar but any instrument can indeed remove your stress. I would recommend trying the drums if your level of frustration is very high, but for the people with average stress level, playing guitar or piano is your ticket to relaxation.

I started to play guitar about 25 years ago, taking a few course here and there, listening to records of my favorite groups, buying chord books and what not. Today luckily with the internet, there are abundant information and resources available to all of us to learn how to play guitar. I still think that if you have the budget then hire a private guitar teacher to learn the basics.
