Things You Need to Know About Playing Guitar
Playing the guitar doesn't really need to be troublesome or difficult with the help of guitar lessons and tutorials that will give you a good start in learning how to pluck and strum the strings to produce the correct melody instead of noise. Here are a few simple things you need to know in learning to play the guitar:
Types of guitars. There are many different types of guitars that have been made popular in the past. Guitars can be electric or acoustic, depending on the guitarist's preferred genre and style. Guitars are also perfect for rock bands, varieties of which include bass guitars and rhythm guitars. A rhythm guitarist usually provides powerful progression of beats, which is usually done with playing guitar chords instead of plucking the strings. A bass guitarist, on the other hand, usually makes use of low tones with its low pitched strings to produce the beat of the song. A bass guitar should perfectly blend with the drums; otherwise everyone will go out of tune.
Guitar chords. Transcriptions of songs for guitar players include chords that are the basic component of a song. There are so-called major (for a more determined sound) and minor chords (for a mellow sound), as well as seventh chords (mainly used for various transitions). They all produce distinctive sounds that distinguish notes from other forms of melodies present in a song. Guitar chords are available in the form of a music chart, which displays all of the existing finger positions that are simply the source of the distinct sound that these chords make. To start studying guitar chords, you have to be familiar with the finger assignments and placements when making an A minor chord, for example. You have to position your fingers on the guitar frets in the exact way the chart indicates - otherwise you will find your fingers awkwardly placed in the frets and the produced sound will be far from the desired one.
Reading tabs. This is one of the basic skills that any guitar player should gain. Tablatures are notes of a musical transcription that can be used to accompany a learning guitarist to "ride" with the tune and tempo of the actual song. A tablature is usually composed of strings and numbers, symbolizing frets and fingers that are required to play a certain part of the song. However, you can't make any use of these tabs if you are not familiar enough with the timings and rhythms of the actual song you want to play. It is very helpful, therefore, to master the song first, so that you can finally "play it by ear", just like any other guitarist. Tabs can be of great help to you especially if you want to impress friends with playing the most important part of the song - the lead.
Guitar tuning. This is basically the most important thing you need to do before your playing session - yes, I really recommend you that you tune your guitar every single time you want to play it. A guitar that sounds the same every time you play it really helps you to advance faster, it makes it easier for you to sing along and it helps you to stay in tune. For guitar tuning you can use an electronic tuner (you can find one in practically any store) or a computer software, if your PC has a microphone built in.

What do the lines over the fret markers on guitar chords mean?
What exactly are those lines over the fret spots telling you to do? http://www.learn-to-play-rock-guitar.com/images/f-major-chord03.gif
Those lines indicate that you have to use the same finger to fret both of the markers joined by the line. So in that example you would only use your index and ring finger to fret the chord. (1=index finger, 2=middle, 3=ring, 4=pinky)
These types of chord are usually called barre chords. You'll often also see those lines being straight, but they mean the same thing.
