Ok guys.
I got a guitar thanks to a friend who was very kind enough to lend me his. It's an acoustic guitar.
The thing is I have no idea how to play the guitar so I want a very simple Beatles song to start with. Any recommendations?

You want a song with open chords because barre chords will be tough to play for a while. I found this video on youtube of Hey Jude and the girl who shows you how to play it goes through each chord and also posts the chords on the youtube page. She's not very good…
, but when I first started playing I found it easier to watch videos of not that great of players because they were less intimidating. I would say just learn as many chords as you can, the G chord, C chord and D chord is a great place to start. Throw in an Aminor and maybe an Eminor and you could quite easily write a song by the end of the week!
Happy playing. 
Also I would advise you not to play the A chord like she shows, rather than using your index, middle and ring fingers, try to use your middle, ring and pinkey. But that’s just personal preference, do whatever is most comfortable right now to build up the strength in your hand.
Edit: I'm sorry that was a bad video to show because how she is showing the chords is not right at all. Her E chord is not how you should play it. So here's a link to a basic guitar chord page, scroll down and find the A, E and G chords for the song and the proper way to hold these chords.

Offline Thanks for your help!! Actually the friend who gave me the guitar told me to learn the chords first. So I’m going to practice this weekend that.

Offline My laptop has been hit by a really nasty fake systems fix virus, the latest in fake defragmenters. It got past Kaspersky and exploded. All those notices about your system having serious critical errors and there being no room on the hard drives so your computer may collapse are really scarey when they first appear. Of course its a scam designed to get your credit card details.

I got something like that about a year ago. Says you have a virus, but really the thing telling you about the virus is the virus if that makes any sense.

Yeah. A box appears that says your computer has 4 viruses and you have to buy specific virus software to be able to remove them. As always with the net the aim is to get your bank details. Took 8 1/2 hours to remove!

You had to mention that movie, didn't you? Now I won't be able to get it out of my head all day. Thanks. I really mean it – thanks!

Offline My favourite scene is when Ted tells the old lady a long story about a past experience via a flashback and when it returns to the plane all you can see of the old lady is her dangling feet coming down from the plane ceiling.

Elaine Dickinson: A hospital? What is it?
Rumack: It’s a big building with patients, but that’s not important right now.

Offline Well, tomorrow is a seriously huge day for me…I'm missing school to go to an all-day dance festival, master classes etc. Then, I have piano lessons immediately after, and then I have a massive chorale concert until ten o'clock at night.
I guess I'll have to spend the entire weekend doing non-artistic mindless things, to give my creativity a break.

Offline Ah the beauty of a typo. Tho im sure there was much amusement with the first naked guy too. Especially from the first naked girl. (I was going to mention the first naked beatle release being 
but it was Paul – naughty Paul naughty.)
Moving on.
Enjoy yourself Seaglass, sounds like you will be exhausted from all of that.
