JUST READ THE SUBJECT

God helps those that help themselves.
Buy a book and teach yourself.

Before learning that though start with spelling.

Nag, nag, nag. OK, OK fine. Do you even own a guitar? The string on the bottom of the neck, (closest to the floor) is the top string. It is usually tuned to E. This is where you begin. Now, pick a phonebook, call several music stores in your area and see if they give lessons. You may find someone great. My teacher is exceptional. He has almost perfect pitch. (He can take apart almost any song I bring him.) OK?

Learn some pentatonic scales first, it's so easy.

it never fails to crack me up when I read online, "SOMEBODY TEACH ME HOW TO PLAY GUITAR"

or even better, PLEAZE CAN SUM1 TEACH ME 2 PLAYT LEAD GUITAR.

Before you learn to playt lead guitar, better spend some time learning to play...the guitar. Get yourself a book and/or a local teacher and be prepared to invest a few years before you start sounding like anything good. If you honestly enjoy creating music, it will always be fun. But if it seems like a chore, you're wasting your time.

i play by ear
