for ur first guitar it may be suggested by everyone to just get anything thats cheap blah blah

but say u get better later and wanna stick with it, then u want a good guitar...

i would buy a washburn cos the sound from those things is mint...alternatively yamaha guitars are actually pretty decent if ur looking for something cheaper

its all about the sound when it comes to acoustic...

washburns are garbage dude...

they're nowhere near the quality of a takemine on the acoustic side...

your best bang for you buck would be going with a tak...

but lkd is right when he says yamaha also makes some great acoustics.

if your looking for a good deal on a second hand guitar, check out the pawn shops at church and queen.

(this is me@t k@tie)

I got a guitar...never took lessons in my life and just started teaching myself. After a bit of practise i was pretty good! but that was like 3 years ago and i pretty much forgot everything now lol

yay for self learning!

Music is a powerful energy that flows though us. It's what brings us together. You forget of all of life's problem's and focus on the moment. The now. Nothing else matters but the way you feel and the movement of your body. It's an expression of the soul.

As someone who just got a guitar I am little clueless on how to tune it - do I need some sort of sound meter or something?

well u can tune it by ear

u might want to get the E from a keyboard or something for consistency. but u can just tune on ur bass/6th string (E)

hold the 5th fret on E and u get the 5th string note (A)..tune ur A string on that note.

then repeat the same with the next string and the rest.

the only exception will be when ur tuning the second string. in which case u have to hold the 4th fret of the 3rd string.

just remember 1st string = the higher pitch E and 6th = the bass E
