Default How about a learning guitar thread?

I'm just starting to learn how to play guitar, and won't be alone in doing so

Anyway, I've been working on Wanted and been getting particularly frustrated with my inability to get the intro down every time, especially when I thought I had it sorted. I am practicing on a semi-acoustic and unless the note is played perfectly it sounds pants. So, I decided to plug my guitar into the amp to see what it sounded like and low and behold the sound is much better coming through the amp. Either my guitar performs much better through an amp, imperfections don't show as much through an amp or the intro to Wanted is much better through an amp - or maybe a combination of any of those!?

Point is I am much happier now I can get the intro sounding half-decent most of the time.

Now all I have to get past is the sore finger stage - the more I play the quicker they'll toughen up though, right?

Any tips from experienced players always welcomed by the way.
