I came to the guitar very late, taking it up as something to do in the years between my retirement and my wife's retirement. Searching the net, I found Justin Sandercoe's on line site. I've played my way through both the beginner's and the intermediate courses, and they really do work: despite my lack of innate talent, I can now play most of the stuff in these two courses without having to think about it too much. Sandercoe explains things very clearly, and shows you what to do. It's good to have the books - as well as the book of beginner's songs that goes with the first course - but you can make progress just by watching the videos.
