Now that I've got some time on my hands while looking for work, can anyone reccommend a site for those of us who are just beginning to work on learning more about the guitar? It'd be nice to have something to work with, rather than just trying to emulate pictures and so on.

That's all at the moment. Other than that you could look up tabs for some of your favorite songs and learn that way. Nirvana songs are a good place to start. Bob Dylan's stuff too. Whatever you feel like.

Heccubus- You can really impress people by learning Hendrix. His actual music was remarkably simply but the distortion was the big deal. Also try to learn on an accoustic first. As reader pointed out Nirvana is very easy as well. Memorising the frets is kind of hard sometimes though so focus on just some of the more popular ones.
It helps a lot to have someone who can instruct you there or else all teh tabs on earth are no help

Isn't Hendrix the guy who played a right-handed guitar left handed? Aren't his songs therefore unplayable by mortals?

He played a right-handed guitar, but he stringed it up normal for a lefty.
J m, i guess you could learn SOME Hendrix songs, but it takles quite a while before you can play like him. I mean, he had a phrasing and articulation that came from his own personal flow (along with many other nuances), and copying that kind of thing, as you well know, ain't something that comes easy to anyone.
Do you play guitar? I don't understand how you can write off Hendrix by saying it was the distortion that was the 'big deal.' I've met a few guitarists who thought he was over-rated and this always perplexed me, so i'm finally going to ask you to please explain.

I'm a lefty, but I got a left handed guitar, because if you string guitars the wrong way it fucks with the accoustics, and I had a very hard time playing right handed (although the finger positions don't seem to be hand related).
