Intrduction
To start with you need to own an electric guitar they are priced between £100’s and £1000’s you will also need a amp that also varies in price a lead to connect from that guitar to the amp a tuner is also recommended . Many other items can be bought but these are the essentials in my opinion.
To begin when learning to play guitar you must first get used to the instrument. The guitar is constructed with a head, neck and body. The body maximizes the sound, the neck has frets to adjusts the sound and the head holds the stings tight and alters the tuning.
The strings on the guitar are:
1st string E (the thin string)
2nd string B
3rd string G
4th string D
5th string A
6th string E (the thick string)

Cords
The next this that I recommend that you do is learn the basic cords as they are the basis of meny songs the basic cords are:
Scales
What is the definition of a scale?
A musical scale is a discrete set of pitches used in making music. Typically a scale has an interval of repetition, which is normally the octave. This means that for any pitch in the scale, we have also an equivalent pitch an octave above and an octave below it.
Practicing scales should become part of your daily practice routine. How much time you devote to scales really depends on your goals as a guitar player. But at the very least play through a couple of scales daily to help warm up and strengthen your fingers.
First just go up and down using all 4 fingers on next frets on the first string. Start on the 5th fret. As you are going to the next note higher, keep the previous finger down and just stretch with your next finger to the next fret. It is you should to keep your left hand thumb around the middle of the back of the neck. This will help you reach the notes more simply. Try and pick right at the point when you put down your left hand finger play this exercise slow at first. Only increase the speed once you can play each note clean and with perfect timing. You will pick up speed naturally as you practice.
2 strings-repeat the above except covering 2 strings.
Keep adding strings until you can play using all 6 strings. Your left hand is important as you play . Remember to have your thumb in the middle of the next because if your thumb is up too high you will find it hard to stretch and reach the notes.

Craig - good start to the article. Where is the rest of it?
Please don't add links in to the title of the post, as it makes it difficult to link to the post (it keeps pushing readers to YouTube instead).
I agree with previous comment that it is a great start to the article. Thanks! I hope you will put up the rest, if you have any plans for that. I also want to recommend another place of information that I have found that teaches in an easy and understandable way... which I think is nice as a complete beginner. http://www.learnguitar.web.surftown.se
