Teach a Skill Lab

When learning how to play an instrument, it is extremely important to enter with a clear mind. You are not going to get it in one day, it is going to take you tons of practice and effort to learn the ways of an instrument, especially the guitar. When first learning to play the guitar, it is necessary to get down the basics. You need to sit up straight, place the guitar on your right leg and balance it with your arms. Many people hold the pick differently but the best way is to hold it between your thumb, middle finger and pointer finger. You are not going to be able to start soloing and jamming out, you need to master basic chords. With learning chords you will simultaneously learn how to strum the strings and learn the hand eye coordination needed to play. The beauty of playing guitar and really any instrument is that you can always get better and make improvements to your play. With the knowledge of the basic chords, pentatonic scales and the overall neck of the guitar becomes familiar to you and you get to know your guitar. The more you practice and focus the more you improve, but it is important to take breaks and clear your mind, playing guitar is creative not a math problem.
