Carston Raybourne's Guitar Basics

Any good sites with free instructions for beginners guitar?

My daughter got a guitar for Christmas and does not come with any instructions. Does anyone know of good sites to go to? Or does anyone know of any good sources (books, videos, dvds)?

There are hundreds of tab / chord / Lyric sites out there. Www.chordie.com I would suggest they have all kinds of chords, tabs and lyrics, and also has many different forums for beginners through advanced. www.cowboylyrics.com is another site that tends to have lyrics with the chords including the right to them. But I would say the best place for the beginner Absolute is http://guitar.about.com/library/blguitarlessonarchive.htm has three separate lessons, explaining the mechanics of the guitar, the way the fingers are numbered, etc, and carries all the way to learning your first song. Good luck with that!
