"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
where do i start with the guitar

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Look on the internet for finger exercises. These (and good form) are most important in the beginning. Learn to read tabs first, it's really easy and can get you playing songs quicker.
You've also got to develop your finger callouses and muscles, so if it hurts and your hand is tired, keep going, it'll get better.
Learn some basic chords, too.
The easiest way for all of this is to get an instructor.

Yeah, do what he said. Also, make sure to learn how to read music, learn the notes and everything and how they are played on guitar. Tabs are good and all, but sheet music is a lot more accurate and is what's used most of the time in professional music books for guitar. Before you start learning how to read music, make sure to also do some research on the basics of musical theory.
Don't get chords mixed up with notes either. On guitar there are chords for G,A,B,C,D,E,F and so on, but there are also single notes for G,A,B,C,D,E,F and so on. If this makes no sense to you, then you should definitely learn some music theory dude, it will definitely help you become more experienced with playing guitar and reading music as a whole.

I think a good finger excerise is getting the chords down then switching. Like do G than C, or G to C to D to E and so on. Do some scales.
Get some books on it, pick up guitar world monthly.\\Basically do what everyone else here says except learn the powerchord. It'll be your friend for a while. 99% of the **** on the radio is powerchorded and talentless. If you practise you'll be able to play a lot come 3 months from now.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

For some reason most chics ive talked to respond in a much more sexy and interested way to bass than to guitar. Maybe they feel the vibrations more down there w/ the bass.
Guitar is like a screaming kid, it's loud and can be heard over everyone.
Bass is a mellow Barry White with a deep voice, he may not be the loudest but what he has to say is interesting.
Also bass players are a rarity now days, perhaps they find it refreshing to see something new.

in a girls mind, a bass is a guitar and a guitar is a guitar and its somewhat the same.
some girls have a thing for guitar players and some bass and some drums and some singers and some like basketball players and some like bodybuilders and some like accountants.
its how look doing it, the expression on your face and the look in your eyes when you are doing what you love.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
If you want to learn pretty quick and have money to spend go to Metal Methods and buy the set of DVDs. I learned myself but bought a DVD so I could learn to play faster and it helped after only an hour or so. Learn sheet music like others said; I wish I did. I can read bass clef but not treble; I should have learned it first.
I personally started off with the internet. You don't need those pricey instructors or those expensive "How to play guitar" books and DVDs. I started with this site:
www.ultimate-guitar.com
Click on the tabs with LESSONS and stuff, and it has enough info and tutorials to kick off your guitar journey. PLUS, you can look up songs that you hear from the radio or CDs and learn the chords/tabs for those songs that you like!
But seriously, in the long run, it's all up to you on whether you get better or not. Your skill will develop based on your attitude and commitment, so even if it's tough hang in there man. The fingertips hurting and frustration from not holding the chords right is only the beginning.
As for music scores, you can get help from people who are experienced with reading them. Guitar tabs aren't really difficult, since you're reading them basically upside down.

Get a teacher. It’s so much easier. It does cost a little bit but it's definitely worth it. There's no way I could have got where I am at guitar now with books or DVDs... It's just not the same!
If you really aren't that serious and just want to play a tune or two books and dvds would probably be fine. Although you can find some stuff on the internet because everything is a tab expensive.
Just beware of the ads that say "Learn to play guitar like a pro in 24 hours". They are complete and utter bs!

Unfortunatly alot of the good guitar tab sites are being shut down because the MPA beleives that unlicenced tabs are illegal. One of my favs Taborama is offline, but like j8snx1 said Ultimate guitar is working. Get a gripmaster. They help ALOT. i wish i had had one. and do the lessons on UG. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE! Good luck.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
