Is a post just some rando wailing away on a guitar with no lesson in sight? If so, please report it!

A place for redditors to teach redditors. All levels and styles of playing are accepted here. If you know something, try to share with someone else. Try and help two people for every person that helps you.

I'm new! Where do I start?

If you're new to the subreddit, have a look through our Totally Bodacious FAQ! If your question isn't answered, feel free to make a post about it.

Fretiquette

Don't spam. Teachers should not submit more than one of their own videos or blog posts per week. Post your own stuff sparingly, and show us only the very best you can do. We're all able to find your blog or channel if we want to see more.
No advertising. This subreddit is about free resources for learning guitar. Your submission will be removed if its main purpose is to get money. The same goes for Kickstarter pages, links to your YouTube channel (as opposed to a specific lesson) etc. See here for the proper way to promote your stuff on Reddit.
Flair All Posts. If you are submitting a lesson, please use link flair to identify it as a Lesson. Link flair can be found underneath the submission's title next to the "save, hide, delete" options.
Don't downvote or mock legitimate questions. Everybody started somewhere and the main reason we're here is to help. Downvotes are a good way to deal with spam, memes or other irrelevant submissions. Use the "report" button for anything you think doesn't belong here.
Feedback Fridays Feedback requests are only allowed on Fridays! We're not super picky about exact time zones, but we go based off of US times, so as long as it's within a few hours of Friday in the US, you're good to go! Make sure to include details in your post!
Gear Questions go in the Megathread They will be removed if you submit them as a post! The megathread can be found stickied on the front page of our sub!
All posts must fit the sub Posts should fit the theme of the sub and include a lesson, question, Feedback Friday request, or something similar. Images and memes will be removed.
No Performances or Backing Tracks or Tab Requests Performances belong in r/PlayingGuitar, not here (except Feedback Fridays); tab requests are almost never answered, but you can try r/transcribe or r/Tabs; chord charts for individual songs are very rarely useful but links to lesser-known tab/chord sites may be.

Note: Tab requests belong in r/transcribe or r/Tabs; general guitar playing videos belong in other subreddits.
