Beginners Guitar Lesson #1 - The basics and the C major chord

The first in my series of beginners guitar lessons.

This lesson teaches you the string names and what they sound like, finger numbers and how to read chord charts/diagrams, as well as how to play the C major chord.

I hope it's simple enough, but if you have any questions at all don't hesitate to e-mail me at b.charlesworth27@gmail.com.

This is my first YouTube video, and the first time I've ever used iMovie, so please be kind!

Edit: A lot of people have been asking which guitar strings are which, since you can't see my hands! Sorry about that - will show them next time. This pic from Dave Walker Music will help:
