I have been playing for years since i was about 7 or 8, i was originally taught by my father and for the most part i have been self taught through the years. although the 10 years of formal piano didn't hurt.... over the years i have collected a small arsenal of guitars, amps and a sitar....

there is no right or wrong way to play, just whats comfortable to you personally.

Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN Yeah, I’d like to know what horrible, scarring incident in your childhood turned you into such an ignorant, intellectual-hating philistine?

i went from awful to almost rad in only a few months, but i had someone to teach me.

I still get stuck playing rhythm guitar and never lead when we play. Untrusting bitch!

Originally posted by Teezdalien I had lessons from a really good Jazz guitarist for a couple of years and if you are serious you should find a good teacher as they will stop you from getting into bad playing habits. However like Moongoose has said you can learn a lot from the internet now which was not an option for myself when I was learning to play. On a side note, one of the most impressive things I've seen on the guitar was seeing Steve Vai playing this thing live, actually using all 3 necks at once. He also played one shaped like a love heart that looked fucking ridiculous. His style wouldn't appeal to everyone though mind you.

Tom Morello is like a jebus.

We have a 12 string, but we don't really touch it too much.

I started playing late 08. I generally learned everything by youtube and or reading tabs and chord charts. I started out on a Ovation GC Celebrity (not necessary cheap for a starter guitar) but with it's thin shape and easy access to the higher frets, made it a blast to play for a first instrument. my first song i actually learned was actually in a completely different tuning (open D tuning). so actually learning and playing is only as hard as you make it out to be. i think the hardest part was actually just getting a fluid rhythm with your strumming hand and singing along. I now have a Takamine EG340SC (about 500) and a Taylor 214ce (about 1K). You have a choice of grabbing a decent priced guitar (about 300-400) if you're serious because you'll upgrade later or buy a p.o.s guitar for like a hundred dollars, deal with the horrible action (string height) and just give up.

I recommend Takamine for a really good acoustic guitar that won't break your bank, a nd good for beginners.

i got a 12 string martin and co acoustic, bought it but returned it a few days later, it sounded beautiful though. I returned it because since i travel so much i couldnt be fucked carrying it around.

not to mention that the built in tuner also works wonders for beginners...although you should really learn to do it the proper way too.
