lol, thnx , soumnds like a good idea ......baaaaaa!

The tab's are OK and there's certainly plenty to pick from, the problem is that it doesn't give you fingering information which is really important when you're learning how to use your fingers.

Try http://www.cigarboxguitar.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Auld-Lang-...

To make it as smooth as possible avoid using the same finger for consecutive notes. At first it'll seem hard and unnecessary but when you get it it'll be much smoother. I'd play everything on the 2nd fret with my first finger, on the 4th fret with my 3rd, jump up to the 7th fret with my first finger, play the 9th fret with my 3rd and back down to the 4th fret with my 3rd again.

Seems like a big jump but this way you're only moving once and you're only using 2 fingers. Then find a song that adds another finger.

Let us know how you go.

appreciate the advice and will dojust that ....thanx

hey that was the best suggestions ive had so far man, is working great, AULD LANG SYNE, nice easy song...and coming along great thanks again....hammer

Since you admit to not knowing much about playing guitar, try the easiest thing there is on a 3-banger: a 3 chord song. If you are tuned GDG, then go here to learn how to play these chords:

You can play hundreds of songs with combinations of these chords. No tabs needed. Start with a simple 3-chord song.

Find a coupla songs you like, look em up on the Internet, and go to it. Or, take Patrick Curley's online course.

thanks Oily,  appreciate the advice, !

Easiest song for me to play was hurt by Johnny cash simple barre chords on gdg tuning! Was first song I learned in full!

cool , ill check it out,....i love johnny cash.

Wayfinder has some good advice. I once read a book on learning to play piano (for adults) and the advice was to find the one song you really, really want to play. Then, spend all your practice time working on that song. The logic is that if you;re going to put in the effort, then make it pay off quick. It is a good approach that keeps you engaged. So, look for a twelve-bar blues that you really love, then go at it.
