Rock band doesn’t cut it anymore. Where can I go and about how much would it cost?
i want to rock lol
I hate to sound like a douche, but the problem with most beginners is that they expect it to be like rock band, or guitar hero, the truth is that it is nothing like those games. When you first start playing it is very hard, its like try to read if you dyslexic, it seems impossible (or atleast for me it was). But if you practice an hour or two every day for a week or so, you will start to get the hang of it. You wont be playing like Yngwie Malmsteen or Allen Holdsworth, but you know just simple fun songs (Smoke on the Water, Iron Man, Cat Scratch Fever, etc.). Now alot of people stop there and say "good enough", but you have to keep going. Ohh, i probably sound like a guitar nerd douchebag, if i do i am sorry i dont mean to be.
Anyway, your question, just go to a local music store (NOT GUITAR CENTER), and ask them if they give guitar lessons. It will probably be $100/month, just a rough guess.

On You Tube check out Justin Sandercoe guitar lessons. They are completely free and amazing.

I am a professional musician. I wish when I was starting to play 25 years ago that I could have had unlimited access to lessons such as these.

well first off your gonna need a guitar and amp unless you can find a shop or teacher that rents equipment. and expect to pay a bit more than your parents did on the video game, then it will take a lot of practice and work to learn the guitar, unlike a video game musical instruments require a lot of dedication and are completely different.

The site below teaches rock, pop and Blues. Plus there’s free lessons. I think it has bonus software to learn to play music by ear too. It’s WAY cheaper then taking private instruction:
