Mandatory "start of my journey" post:

My first and only attempt at learning to play guitar was somewhere before 1992, in my last couple of years of college. Didn't learn a single chord, eventually a neighbor "borrowed" the guitar and I never saw it again.

Fast forward 27 years and my son kept asking me for a guitar until he wore me down. While waiting for the delivery I started to watch video tutorials and everything clicked. So I turned around and ordered myself a lefty Donner (DAG-1CL 41). I am now 7 days into the Fender Play online course, and so far my fingers hurt like hell which is a sign that I am actually learning something. 

We'll see about that. 

Also, I have arthritis, and it amuses me that my fingertips are hurting far more than my joints. So I guess that at the very least I am getting some much-needed exercise.

  This is something that a lot of us newcomers have trouble with: how the hell do we memorize the strings? Notice in the diagram above (this is the right-hand orientation) that the strings are not the same width, so starting with the fat string, the order of the strings is E A D G B E. Starting with the thin string, it's E B G D A E.  There's even a mnemonic for both:  E A D G B E E ddie  A te  D ynamite  G ood  B ye  E ddie In the opposite direction you have: E B G D A E E aster  B unnies  G et  D izzy  A fter  E aster. But you still have to memorize six strings. Or do you? The two outer strings are both E. The fat string is low E, the thin string is high E. If you can remember the two mnemonics, and you can remember that the fat string is the low E, and the thin string is the high E, in reality you only need to remember four strings. After you do enough drills, you'll realize that you will quickly remember that the next ...

The "I just started learning to play guitar this week" list

Since people keep asking for "the one thing I should know since I just started" I decided to put together a list of the most popular advice: Welcome to the group! (I originally wrote this for the Fender Play group on Facebook) Don't put the guitar way. Get a stand (~$15 at Amazon) or a wall hook (two for $11 at Amazon). Why? Because having the guitar out near will make it harder to avoid practice. Yes, this is a thing.  Muscle memory is a thing. It's not just memorizing the chords, you have to keep doing them over and over until the fingers fall in place on their own. This WILL take time, but it WILL happen. Your fingertips are going to hurt, there's no short cut. In 2-3 weeks you will still hurt, but your fingertips will be thicker. Stretching and warming up is important. You will find that your reach will increase after a few weeks of doing these stretches. Personally, I couldn't even do a full C chord, it took me weeks to be able to reach it. If you are ann...

And then there were four

A horrible thing has happened. The two on the left are my son's, I don't know if they fed after midnight or what happened, because suddenly there were two more. Left-to-right: Rogue RD-80 (got it as a kit at Guitar Center, < $150 including a shitty bag, shitty strap, shitty, spare strings, a whistle tuner, you get the idea) Squier by Fender Affinity Telecaster, Competition Orange ($199 at Amazon) Squier by Fender Affinity Telecaster, Butterscotch Blonde, Left Handed ($199 at Amazon) Donner DAG-1CL, Left handed ($128 at Amazon with a nice padded bag, a decent digital tuner, shitty spare strings, decent strap, a generic capo) That's actually our second RD-80, the first one split at the head within 24 hours, luckily we had purchased accidental damage insurance. To avoid my wife kicking us out of the house, we are using VOX AC-30 amplugs (~ $35 each at Amazon) and headphones instead of amplifiers.
