<p>I'm going to learn to play the guitar over the summer. I tried about a year ago, but I just didn't keep it up, partly cause of lack of self motivation; and partly because trying to teach myself, I didn't really know what exactly I was supposed to do or material I was supposed to practice. So for all those who know how to play and especially self taught people, what should I do: where do I begin, what to do to get better and better, etc? Are there any specific things I should do , books I should get, things I should practice? Even though I know a few basic things from back when I tried to learn before, I think I'm gonna start from the beginning just to make sure I dont miss anything. And I don't just want to be able to play the guitar, I want to be very good. And yes, I'm know I need to practice and it will take longer than just one summer, and I'm going to. So, any tips would be appreciated.</p>
<p>start off with simple stuff like the solos to Free Bird and Sweet Child O Mine and then work your way to harder stuff like twinkle twinkle little star</p>
