How to Play Electric Guitar For Beginners
There are very few things in life as rewarding as learning to play a musical instrument, and there are even fewer things as beautiful as an electric guitar. However, learning to play the guitar takes a lot of patience and can be very frustrating at times. While it's very important that you stick to some sort of structure if you want to make good progress, it's just as important that you learn an easy song every now and then so you don't feel like you're going nowhere slowly.
Most how to play electric guitar for beginners articles offer a step-by-step guide, including steps such as “buy a guitar”, “learn the chords” which quite frankly are pretty redundant if you ask me. The most valuable advice I could give someone learning to play the guitar is to be patient, find some type of course (there are tons online now, stick to the free versions until you're 100% sure you want to learn how to play the electric guitar) so you avoid making long-term mistakes, and learn a new song every now and then.

Basic Guitar Chords
Basic Guitar Chords “Easily Master the Chords You Must Know”
Every guitar player needs to develop the ability to play a set of basic guitar chords. Fortunately, by knowing only about a dozen chords, you can play at least a simple version of most of the songs ever written! Below you will see diagrams that show you how to play a set of basic guitar chords, perfect for the beginner to practice on!
The chords are presented in “families” of three chords that are related to each other musically- they just plain sound “right” played in various sequences. The chords in the “A Family” correspond to the key of A, with the A chord being “home base”, typically used to start and end a song.

Slide Guitar | Lessons @ Ultimate
When I started playing slide I had a hard time 'cause I could never find someone to how me the basics. There are a few a few lessons in the slide directory but none of them really tell a beginner how to play slide. I'm hoping that this lesson will give you that and get you started on a great part of guitar playing.
Before You Start
1. Your Slide. There are two main types of slide — glass and metal. Glass gives you a warmer tone than metal and is lighter, however it can break if it is dropped. Metal has a brighter tone than glass and is heavier, but is practically indestructible. Keep in mind that there are different types of metals used for slides and each type will give a different tone. As well, the thickness of the sides of the slide affects your tone — thicker sides give you a bigger tone and vice versa. There are also various lengths of slides and different diameters for the inside. Yes, there are many variables but slides aren't very expensive (generally they range from about $5-$25) and you should just experiment with different kinds until you find what you like. Also don't rule out different materials like ceramic, plastic, or bone — I just have only used glass and metal and don't want to write about something I don't know much about (if anyone cares I'm currently using a medium length Dunlop glass slide with thick sides).
2. Your Guitar. Got a guitar with crappy intonation and strings a mile off the fretboard? Or a few bum frets? No problem! This guitar will work fine for slide because you don't really use the fretboard for slide (unless of you'r fretting notes behind the slide — more on that later). In fact a great use for a guitar that is hard to play normally is to make it a designated slide guitar. Just watch out for crappy tuners if you're gonna be using a bunch of different tunings. This works fine if you just want to dabble in slide but if you're gonna be playing it seriously you should get a good guitar to set up just for slide.
