I bought a guitar and Frederick Noad's Solo Guitar Playing Book 1, twelve months later I did my first gig and never looked back.Comment

when you get to a reasonable standard you can learn songs free from youtube
just type the <song name> followed by 'lesson'The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Having played the guitar for some 30 years now I say you are off to a bad start - its much better to learn the guitar on an acoustic rather than an electric.
Your fingertips will hurt - the key to really enjoying the guitar is that remember your strumming technique is extremely important - most folks get caught up in trying to remember the chord shape of say Eflat mior seven - and neglect the strumming.
That approach means you will end up paicking in it after nine months.
in fact you only need to know a handful of chrods to really get rocking - I play jazz piano too so I know all about musical theory - but for the guitar - trust me you only need to know a few major chrods and their relative minors - and youre away.
Pick up my Guitar
And Play
Just like Yesterday

He can play jazz - he just despises it. ( Probably 'cos his grandad is a jazz musician... )Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
