any on line lesons?

I just gave a friend a strat copy and practice amp.he had mentioned that he would like to try and learn to play the guitar (he play's nothing now)
so he is a beginner, never held a guitar in his life (or any musicale instrument)
I was hopping some of you could recommend a few good free on line lessons to help get him started, thanks

I highly recommend this site. The Beginners Course should be exactly what he needs.

Yes Justin's a great place .Also go in a used bookstore if you have one in your area.I've found some great books there.Cheap! You tube is also a place to look.

cool thanks

Another suggestion for instruction is netflix. There are lot of guitar instructional DVDs that can be checked out on netflix.

he just started a new job so he is looking for something free like youtube video

+1 Justin Sandercoe -fantastic freeware site and probably the best out there.

Vanderbilly.com worth a look too - huge resource of learning material.

cool thanks, I will pass that along to him

He starts right at the beginning and continues to teach through how to play and music theory and everything in between. Check it out and they are YouTube videos.

the link is bad?

Just go on youtube and type beginner guitar lessons. You'll get plenty.

Justinguitars and a Mel Bay Chord Book is a great place to start.

Alright I fixed the link above I don't know why it's so long.

cool it works now
I think this is what he is looking for

Thanks for the link. Good site!

+1 for Justin

I realize we live in the era of immediately go online to learn about anything...which is awesome, and I do it all the time! But I will throw this out there too. Check your public library. Mine has a great selection of instructional guitar books and videos.

Marty Schwartz on youtube, if he signs the e-mail list he receives a free e-book with chords and scales.
