Easiest way to learn to play the guitar?

Google the shark tank guitar tool. I can't remember the name of it but it works.

Amos is right...take some lessons. Just a couple times a week. You'll realize when you've gotten what you need out of it.

I wouldn't say I "play" but I think I have gotten further, faster with Rocksmith on my PS3.

It still takes time.

Most say 15 minutes a day is way better than a 2 hour marathon once a week.

Justinguitar has a webiste with some good online lessons for free and sells books/dvds to go along with the online lessons.

Best online lessons by far.

Is that the shark tank tool?

Firstly, forget all about that macho shite.

Secondly, do you smoke pot? Reason I'm asking is because I'm pretty sure I heard one Mr. Edward Van Halen say when he was like ages 12-19, pretty much all he did is sit in his room, smoke marijuana joint cigarettes, and play guitar.

In a more serious answer.........I'm not nearly as good as I should be considering the length of time I've been playing. What little I do know was learned as follows:

1. Learn the play what are known as "the open" chords.
2. Then, understand that by barring the guitar with your index finger, and making the same open chords above the bar with other fingers, you'll be learning to play.

I will say this.....I got Infinitely better - to the level of non-suck mind you - be doing two things....

1. Hang out w/folks that know how to play. They'll teach you tricks.
2. Play with your stereo. It'll do a cpl of the things, namely, let you know when you're playing out of tune, and - don't laugh - feel the groove

Both of the above will build confidence.

Go out in the mississippi countryside and sell your soul to demon at a crossroads. Dirt roads preferably
