I think too many think learning guitar is about getting tabs to their favourite songs and copying them. Theres no skill in that. I used to spend hours on end just experimenting.

That's the easiest way to learn about chord changes though.

Yesh

I think the fact that its nearly right is putting me off even more, might mess around with them & then tune it

it's quite hard to get it exactly right, without spending about 8 hours on it

also, you'll find that it'll need tuning a lot to start with, while the strings stretch

that's useful, but it would be better if it had all the tabs for the major chords

I'll try that & then move onto a basic Oasis one

Main thing Im having problems with is getting my fingers used to being in the right place & actually being able to hold the strings. Small hands
