Before you try to play guitar songs, you will need to be certain that you properly tune your guitar. If it isn't tuned the right way, then you won't be able to produce anything that sounds like music. You will need to know how to read guitar tabs as well before you learn to play guitar songs.
The trick is not simply knowing the guitar tabs but also to train yourself to be able to listen to music and pick it up. This skill will help you to play guitar songs that you love. Even if you're only a beginner - that's OK, just start off where everyone does: simple songs. Begin with only 3-chord songs at first, and you'll learn as you continue.
Whenever you are learning and listening to a song, make sure you are getting a feel for the timing and rhythm of when the chords are played, and when the strings are being picked. When you simply make time to listen after a while, then you need to follow the song as it's played by reading the appropriate tabs. Repeat this practice on a song you want to learn, noting rhythm.
When you are done with the steps of listening a number of times, then reading along with the guitar tabs, then it's time to pick up your instrument. When the song is playing, quietly play along. Don't play so loud you don't hear the song - you are trying to copy what's being played.
Once you feel comfortable with the timing of the piece and how to strum it, then you should shut off the music and try to play it on your own. If you need a reminder, you should listen once more to the song and try again. Keep repeating the process, one song at a time. Master the music, before you move onto some other piece. Keep practicing until you can begin to sing along as well.
Another helpful tip is to record yourself playing with a video recorder. Once you finish the song, then view yourself on the television. The point is to catch your mistakes, and more or less become your own coach.
If you are serious and want to learn to play guitar songs, you need passion. You will need to grow in patience as you go along. It is OK to make plenty of mistakes along the way - this is natural. However, if you find that you are repeatedly making mistakes, it might be time for a break. Don't let yourself get upset over practicing, just put down the guitar for a while and pick it up when you feel calm and ready to try again.
