Question by : How should I learn how to play guitar?
I’m just learning guitar, my friend gave me this guitar book to help me learn. It lists chords and notes and such. The book goes step by step through each string and notes. I already know how to read music from previously playing the piano and I wanted to know if I should learn to play the guitar string by string first or go straight into chords. The string by string thing seems a bit tedious. Which one will benefit me more?

when i took lessons, my teacher had me do both at the same time. like as you learn one string, learn also one chord. we stared with the simpler ones: C major, D major, G major, E major/minor, A major/minor, etc… that way my fingers would get used to the chords and i’d also learn which notes were where on the strings. its a faster way to learn, just practice a little every day.
