Get lessons then, once you pick up the basics, reading music script etc, you'll figure out the rest yourself.

Some would say that, but I've never had any lessons. Learned everything myself.
Taught a few people how to play too.

Re: Guitar Players Unite...
I also don't know how to read music(other than tabs).
I can however, write music. I've always thought that's more important.

Writing music is cool, makes playing the guitar more interesting.
In my case Tabs dont really work with spanish classical, which is why i need to be able to read the script.

Eh, don't feel too bad korny... I've been playing for like 3 or 4 years and my playing still would fit somewhere around the "sucks ass" category.
Looks as though I will never be a rockstar. Dammit!

Don't think about being a rockstar. Just play because you like to.

I hear ya, except I've only been playing for almost a year and have had lessons for nearly three months and I still suck. At least I'm better than when I bought the geeetar and tried playing it the first time.
