learning how to play acoustic geetar

[Buttzilla]

just picked up a guitar and been trying to learn off and on for a few months. as of now i just want to learn how to strum and learn different types of chord progressions, maybe simple techniques. anybody know good starter books? websites? something along the lines of edwin mccain or john mayer. thanks 🙂

the best way is to try to learn the songs you like to listen to. obviously they should be relatively simple (no yngwie yet 🙂) check out www.powertabs.net or if you don't want to download the powertab editor, www.tabcrawler.com, www.taborama.com, www.olga.net.

thanks for the sites, i'm actually working on this site right now Text they have videos that you can play along with, very simple.
