Here is an article I found recently with some tips for the beginning guitarist!

What do you think? How did you start learning guitar?

There should be another option, "Learning from DVD's"

What has helped me the most is the "Gibson Learn and Master Guitar" from Legacy Learning.

The "Lessons" would be second.

I just got the Gibson Learn and Master course and have learned more in a few days than I did with a private teacher in 10 months. I will continue with the lessons for now but will concentrate on the Gibsons course more than anything else.

Lessons and playing with better guitarists helped me the most.

Jamming with other pickers helps a great deal. Most anywhere where you are playing music with other people. Expose yourself to all kinds of guitar picking environments. DVDs can also be very helpful. Learning some music theory. The more you play, the more you're likely to improve. AND, if you know that you have a bad habit, get it corrected now.

Very true, bad habits are something are usually exposed when jamming. Best to always think of original ideas on the fly!
