I'm interested in learning Zappa! About 40 years ago, I wore out a record player needle to learn "Toads of the Short Forest" so I've been playing for decades but only now that I'm retired have I really got the time to get right into it once again.

So, a big THANKS to all you people for starting and contributing to this group!

Hey Mars: I'll post some stuff on basic guitar stuff on my youtube account for ya. Guitar is not difficult to learn. It just takes time. A helpful hint on learning: Some of the greatest players more often use the easiest chords ( i.e. two finger chords ) to help make the big noises. Most of the first Van Halen disc is almost Eddie using two fingers for chords. Most of The Edge's playing is composed of open strings. So you really don't have to learn big chords just to play. Just look at AC/DC: They made a career out of simple!

I've been thinking about this as well, and I'm getting together some thoughts for a 'Zappa centric' beginner's guitar course.

I'm going to start with Big Leg Emma, so anyone who wants to join in, make sure you are familiar with that song (ideally the Live In New York version).

Hey Mars I like the word KISS...

It stands for...... Keep It Simple Stupid

I have applied that mentallity and its working for me..(Duhh..I'm stupid!)

David is right but being repeatative is a good thing and only take on small parts at a time.

Try learning the Cowboy chords first...

I'll post a couple of things Mars - I think the trick is to keep it fun so what you're learning doesn't feel like a chore but is just playing music.

OK...I want to learn guitar but am having trouble. The person who was teaching me now has too many commitments and cannot help me as much as planned.

 Can anyone help me with maybe a video of just chords? I know it is prolly baby stuff to you guys but that is where I am and I need a little help please. beginners chords and some bar chords, as much as my brain says jump in and plays Whats New in Baltimore...my fingers are saying "Hey, what's new in teaching us what to do land" Dam fingers.
