If you’re looking for a way to impress the girls or other guys in your circle of friends then learning to play the guitar is an awesome way to start.
The most important lesson you’ll ever learn with the guitar is the lesson of patients. Though it isn’t too difficult to learn some basic chords and melodies, learning to play them seamlessly and sound like a professional will take you a lot of repetitive practice.
Luckily, with the right frame of mind all of this practice won’t seem like work at all. Because as you practice you will begin to improve which only serves to make you want to improve more, which encourages you to keep practicing.
It’s a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy.
The next best piece of advice that I could give you would be to start out by learning songs that you know and enjoy. If you start with songs that you already like then you’ll have more fun doing all the practice it takes to learn how to play them well.
This is the advantage that newer learn guitar courses have over more traditional training programs. Because newer courses focus on more modern songs that the student is more likely to know in the beginning, rather than boring scales and songs that the student probably never heard of before.

I like the self fulfilling prophecy bit
Too bad a lot of students don’t get that far, as they quit too early, right after running into the first difficulties. Practice makes perfect!
