Yeah,you'll get those with the guitar itself.Guitar Tuner is the most important one,but if you have android you get the app,so no need for a physical one.

Also get a capo if you want. Lots of popular songs need a capo to be played properly. But it's not at all necessary.

Not really necessary. Learn normally first and once you understand the theory, then get a capo.

Most songs can be transposed easily between keys without a capo.

Yeah I did mention that it was not necessary. Thanks for the information though. Even I'm thinking of starting(actually I do know a little since I live in a hostel and many of my friends already know how to play the guitar).

I play it for a hobby and I read some music theory books. I mainly only cover songs.

But I enjoy it as well.

You can check out my youtube channel for some of my videos : *www.youtube.com/user/dessavio/videos

If you want details of what I know, I know a couple of chords, I practice the Pentatonic, Minor and Harmonic Minor scales and impro on them and tapping arpeggios, etc.

You should take the time to learn from your friends.

what does a capo do? :O

It is mainly used to set a song in a higher key. For example a song in the key of E would become a song in the key of F# if you put the capo on the 2nd fret, while maintaining the pattern of the chords from the key of E.

But you can transpose chords anyway without a capo, only the pattern changes.

well i'm ready for that :D

It will only hurt for a week,

My tip, hold the finger near the fret or right on top of the fret.
This will reduce the strength needed to apply on the string while holding a note or chord.

Dude, you nuts? That will cause buzzing and your note won't sound at all.

Always fret behind the fret.
