I second and third those recommendations about the places that will show you a set of lyrics along with the chord diagrams. Find as many songs that you "always wanted to learn" as possible, I believe it makes the learning struggle more enjoyable. When I was getting started I was buying those books like "Easy Grateful Dead" and "Easy George Harrison", they'd have 9 or 10 songs for a very reasonable price, like $10.00, and all the chords would be reduced to simple easy-to-plays, great for beginners. Personally I think "tabs" are a time-waster, I think they take too long to decipher and I think you learn the chord names more easily from diagrams, pretty quickly you'll know how to make the chord when all you see is its name.
Also there are a lot of us here who'll be glad to check out your D35 to make sure it hasn't somehow become infected with an anti-beginner virus, we usually offer that service for free if you cover shipping! :lol:
Mine is virus free, hasnt been played in so long until recently, belonged to my cousin who was killed in 1973, and has laid in a closet until last summer when my aunt gave it to me. The sn is oj809, it is a d35 and good condition. I cherish it and have got to learn to play even at the beginners level....
