Signing UpStep 1Getting A Guitar
Guitars can cost anything from about £5 (~$10) for a second hand acoustic in a charity shop to thousands of pounds. When you are a beginner just about anything you can get will do as long as it is not too damaged and has 6 strings, you can always upgrade it later.
If you have an electric guitar you will need an amp and lead (see pictures) but whatever you have you have I would recommend buying a plectrum (A.K.A pick) choose a medium or light type as they are most suited to beginners.
You could also get a tuner but they are not totally necessary (see next step)

BEWARE: THIS WILL NOT TEACH YOU EVERYTHING ABOUT THE BASICS OF GUITAR PLAYING. NEITHER WILL ANY OTHER GUIDE ON THE INTERNET.
THE BEST WAY TO LEARN GUITAR IS THROUGH MENTORING.
But that out of the way, It was informative, relatively accurate, although you need to stop referring to the strings as 1-2-3 etc etc. Refer to them as EADGBE and so on.
Remember this:
Eat
All
Day
Get
Big
Easy.
Also, I feel you butchered the chord and song parts of your guide. You need to provide tab PICTURES. I have been playing guitar for a long, LONG while, and even for me it is hard to read "internet tabs"
Take a picture, or show them to Ultimate Guitar or something.
Score IMHO: 3/5. Decent. But not terrible. It had several butchered qualities, but also some redeeming ones.
