So I'm a beginner with the guitar

I know a lot of you know how to jam... Do you have any helpful videos/books/words for a novice?
I am currently just randomly strumming and getting the feel of moving my fingers...Sometimes I'm in a groove and actually think it sounds decent...Sometimes...
Any help appreciated

Learn your open position chords first, they're the easiest. Later, you can learn to move them all over the fretboard with a barre.

There's tons of good info on Youtube that you can learn from. If you can afford it though I'd say hire a teacher as well. You dont need to hire the most expensive person in town. To learn the basics you're not gonna need someone with a degree from Juilliard.
I pay $20 an hour for my teacher and see him once a week. You just cant beat having someone there with you to explain things and answer questions. Also you maybe have some friends that play that might be wiling to show you some basics too?

Your going to want to learn the notes for each fret. So if your playing the 5th fret of E for example you want to know that is A.
Your going to want to learn the open hand chords, which are chords played on the lowest part of the neck with some of the notes being open notes, there easy to play basically.
Your gonna want to learn major and minor chords. This basically a couple of chord shapes you can move up and down the neck to make different major and minor notes.
Your going to want to learn the major scale and be able to play it with any root note. Scales are note patterns, this is how people do awesome guitar solos. Also root note means starting note.
Play along with a drum machine to get down your Rhythm, also play as much music with others as possible.
Hope this helps, keep on playing man!

It's actually one of the most common acronyms for it, I obviously didn't mean it or anything. Just one that I found easiest to remember.

Learn songs learn songs learn songs, the more the better, eventually you want to get to a point where you can learn shit by ear, then you'll have picked up numerous techniques to help you write your own material/improvise etc...

It's okay I quite liked it!
To the person who said why the major instead of minor pentatonic, I think he should learn the pentatonic too but it's just a part of the major scale so if he learns the major scale the minor pentatonic is right there, e z peezy
