As a self-taught drummer myself, i can tell you that there really is no 'fast" way to learn an instrument. It takes a lot of patience, practice, discipline, and hard work. Now that being said, some people do learn quicker than others so it all depends on the person. I have two cousins that both play guitar and both are self-taught. My one cousin Terry practiced just about every day and picked it up quicker than my cousin Dave, who didn't practice nearly as much. Terry became pretty darn good in about 8 months. It all boils down to how determined you are, how much you practice, and how quickly you pick things up. My advice would be to get an instructional book or DVD and learn a few chords. If you do it on your own you will save a lot of money and you can go at your own pace. Guitar lessons are not cheap these days, unless you know someone. Just give it a shot on your own for a month or 2 and see how you progress. Then if you feel you need lessons to get better, then find a good teacher that won't be too expensive. But the key is to practice....practice.....practice! Good Luck!

There's no need to loosen the strings after each and every practise, but be careful about adding too much tension. However, it's a good thing to loosen the strings if you travel or you know that you'll store your guitar for a long period, otherwise, there's no problem if you use the guitar always and like that you'll have a ready to use guitar....

there's really no need to loosen them EVERY time you're done practicing. the two reasons you SHOULD loosen the strings however, are:
(1) if you're taking it on a plane or something where it could get banged around (but my suggestion is that you never do this if the guitar means anything to you!)
(2) when you know you're not going to use it for a longer time (probably over a year). the reason for this is that the pull from the strings can cause the neck to bend. but this will take a VERY long time to happen, and should not be something to be alarmed over.

Always keep the guitar in tune. You should only loosen the strings if the guitar is going to be transported a long distance.
Best lesson: Learn your chords and play, play, play every day. The dexterity will come with time, and you can progress to a more ornamented or lead-oriented style from there. Don't expect too much too fast.

Never loosen the strings unless they are too tight already. One of the best lessons is to make sure that it is in tune every time you pick it up.

No, you don't need to loosen them after playing unless you aren't going to pick it up again for years!
Best lessons: Learn the chords and the major scale for each key. Learn what chords "go" together, such as.....
Key of C uses mainly C, F and G chords and A minor, D minor and E minor. Each key has its own set of chords that are used.......there's lots of theory and memorization involved......you can get it, just stick with it. It will help to have an experienced teacher.

NO, a good guitar will have a neck that is strong enough to hold the tension. Maybe wipe the strings with a cloth if you want them to last a little longer though.
