Anybody knows of a good book of exercises to learn acoustic guitar or lessons I could print from the net? I went to the bookstore and wasn't sure of what would be best for a beginner

    I suggest you find some kind of chord chart and learn basic chords. That's the most fun to begin with.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    If you want to spend the $10, I'd say it's worth it... Hal Leonard books are the best out there in my opinion, and it'll give you a very good foundation to start off from... after this book you can pretty much learn on your own if you'd like...

    Ahh... and I don't know of any places where you can just download lessons (I'm sure such a place exists somewhere), but here are pretty much all the chords...

    This site looks pretty cool. The information is pretty good.

    The book that parchy suggested is really good, too. Definitely get that.

    Those will keep you busy.
