Ever since I was a really tiny toddler, I've been wanting to learn to play the guitar. Life happened, I got busy and never got around to do it.
According to my mind as a teenager, I was going to be a super skilled guitar player dating a musician and we would have acoustic sessions under the candle lights, where we would sing and play. That also never happened, but hey! I am still young and its never too late...With this is mind, I went and bought my first guitar, -well second because I used to "play" my moms guitar when I was younger, but that doesn't count-. The moment I walked into the shop and the seller asked me; Which one do you like? I said; That one!, pointing at this deliciously beautiful black Fender Sonoran SCE.
Wish me luck!
P.S- If you know of any amazing websites that teach you to play the basics, by all means please share. And even better, if you live in Amsterdam and you know where I can go for a few lessons, let me know. My cousins are musicians and promised me to teach me when I go to Mexico during the holidays, but in the meantime, I gotta learn something!

I think I can only dream of a guitar like this one. It really is beautiful. Anyway, you can learn to play ( in my opinion) even alone, if you can really find the time. What I did when I first started learning to play was to like a song, which sounds easy and search for the tabs or the chords on the net. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/ is a great site for tabs and chords and there are about 5 versions of every songs, so you can choose the one that suits you and your skills the best. Youtube is also a really good place to find help. There are lots of channels for guitar lessons, containing from basic lessons(how to hold the guitar, what is that thing a "tab" and so on) to teaching how to play advanced songs. If you need to strum your guitar, you can download an app for your phone to help you(I'm not shure if you're using andriod or ios, but there should be such applications for both). And last but not least, you've got to have lots of patience. It never works from the first time.
Good luck!

FASHION EATERS
Inspiring!!! This is great Andy, enjoy and stick to it! I'm also on my way to "never too late" horse back riding but frankly the weather these days in Amsterdam really "helps" you do something indoor...
Let's cover a song together :D Bisous Andy !
I started playing the guitar this summer, my dad teached me some chords and i started playing.. but being back in Amsterdam and having my normal busy life back the whole playing guitar got a bit on the background haha.. Seeing this post inspired me to pick it up again, because starting is the hardest.. :)
The site which is the most helpful for me is 911tabs.com .. where you can find almost every song with the according chord schemes.. the helpful thing is when you're standing with your "arrow" on the chord, it will show you the fingerplacement of the chord and you won't have to google everything haha!
good luck! Love your blog and keep up the good work :)

I noticed the effect on the photos, I like it. The guitar is cool. Check out these songs Andy. Undone(the sweater song) by Weezer. Try by Pink. :)
I used to want to play the guitar as a teenager. And I even got one then. But after learning some my fingers got so sore I could not stand it. So I waited a week or so to heal, and that week became years.
Now my guitar got addoped by my husband and he learns from the YouTube video's. There's plenty of them there.
He's getting real good at it!
I love your pictures!!
Good luck with your guitar.
www.inemiene.blogspot
Nice! You're never too young. You can try http://ultimate-guitar.com or if you have a macbook with garageband, they have lessons in it. Have a go! :D Goodluck!
I love the guitar! good luck with practicing!
http://pilisstyle.blogspot.com/
I play the guitar also!
Cool guitar, you should buy a music book and teach yourself in the meantime. Hope you have a tuner as well. :)
I'd say that youtube is the best way for you to learn how o play guitar. Really!
Good luck! I'm sure you'll rock out in no time.

The program my little brother used to learn how to play guitar, is, very simple actually, GarageBand. If you have an Apple-computer it should already be on it, if not, you can download it, even for free, I think. And, for the record, beautiful guitar!
Good luck! Practice is key :-) I suggest learning tablature (guitartabs.com) for easy and quick play. I suggest even more learning from a wonderful teacher all the ins and outs and how to read music. So lots of patience and determination and its worth every moment of it. And don't pause when changing chords :-) enjoy, she's a beauty

You can do it! And this one is the personification of motivation to start and play.

I taught myself how to play ukulele and guitar. For ukulele I just bought a book to teach me a little bit, but the biggest thing that helped was just learning chords and practicing switching from one chord to another over and over and over again! Your fingers are going to hurt and it's going to be really annoying and frustrating until you get it, but once you get the first couple chords, the other ones come a lot easier. Guitar is the same way. Just start from the basic chords! You can do it!
Love the guitar!!
http://falteringbird.blogspot.com/
wish you all the best!! good luck!

You look great with that guitar! I also want to learn, but I never went further than the first chords of Wish you Were Here by Pink Floyd :)
If you know the basic chords, you can always check this site out http://utlimate-guitar.com. I've learned to play songs from that website, and in some songs if you drag the pointer over the chords they show you where to put your fingers.
Other tips and tricks is to look at youtube clips :)
Good luck!
Andy es la primera vez que comento y te sigo desde hace tiempo... Soy una gran fanatica de la musica y no hay nada mejor que pasar un buen rato tocando algun instrumento..Yo aprendi sola aprendiendo acordes y practicando mucho. Podes buscar en youtube "how to play (cualquier cancion)" hay muchos tutoriales, si no la pagina www.ultimateguitar.com tiene muchas tabs para aprender.. Espero que aprendas rapido y nos muestres a todos tus canciones..
Besos

You should look at the muziekpakhuis, there they have several independent teachers (it is near the overtoom). I think my teacher is the best of all though - Maikel Thijssen (teaches at the koninginneweg, next to the Vondelpark) www.maikelthijssen.nl
