What is the best way to start learning guitar?
The best way to learn guitar is to learn the formal major scales, minor scales, pentatonic scales and etc and practice them up and down, different rhyhm like up and down pickin, or in triplets, and etc. and memorize them. The most fun way to learn guitar is to look up tabs, I mainly use guitar pro 5 (which you can torrent and get a free cd key) and It helps me visualize the note length and everything Basically look up tabs of your fav metal songs, or metal songs that seem simple at www.ultimateguitar.com or www.911tabs.com Then start trying to play it until youve memorized it and keep trying to play it until you can play it better and better. Start off slow, get a feel for the riffs, practice one riff a lot until you get the hang of it, Then work on the transition parts where you have to shift your finger position to somewhere else fairly quickly and smoothly.
