I do, been playing around 2 years. What do you need help with? Tableture? Chords? Basic playing?
I have demoted myself for personal reasons. I cannot work here anymore and I don't think its appropriate.

Goodbye PT. Good luck.

Firstly, what genre of music are you into?

I would concentrate of learning 4-5 chords (E, C, G, and D). Look them up on google.com or something, once you have found out how the chords are made up, practise switching between them while playing. At first this will be hard, but with practise it will become second nature.

I also advice you to learn the pentatonic scale, this is used a lot of Rock/Blues soloing which is used in a lot of the popular songs of today. Also a good set-up helps a lot! That’s it you play electric guitar.

When buying an amp, you might as well get a "Marshall" if you look after it, it will last you a life time and plus the sound great! For a guitar, if you are just starting out get a Stratocaster copy, there are many cheap versions the best for its money is Eastcost. Make sure you have a good jack to jack lead, not the cheap kind you get with the guitar, gold plated is always the best. There is no need for any effects pedals or accessories such as Capos, they will just confuse you. There are only 5 things a guitarist needs. A guitar, an amp, a lead, a plectrum and an audience.

Good Luck! I hope to be hearing you on Kerrang in the near future :)

I play the guitar the Air guitar, I recommend the classic broom or mop but you could try nail filers tied together with dental floss I've heard that works.
