Learn Guitar?

I wanna Learn How To Play Guitar, and I have a few questions:

How seious are you? If you just wanna learn to play for the hell of it, go down to target or walmart and pick up a cheap guitar. Or pay a few extra bucks, hit Sam Ash or Guitar Center and grab a $100-$200 guitar. I would say go with an acoustic to start with.

1. It does take a little more strength to hold down the string to play a note. It doesnt seem like THAT big of a difference but if you try both you will see a difference.

2. They tend to be a little cheaper. (though my acoustic and my electric are both worth the same (about $1500)).

As far as how hard it is to learn…again, how serious are you? Wanna learn a couple songs to impress a your friends? If so, learn a few chords, learn to read tabs, goto tab websites and learn your songs. If you want to LEARN guitar then it can be a life long study. My grandfather was an acoplished big band and jazz guitarist and says he is still learning new thigns to this day. You want to learn your chords and scales first of all. How to read tabs and notes. How chords are made up. Scale progression. A great number of styles and tecks (slures, bends, ect).

To get you started I would say you need these things:

1) Most importantly figure out WHY you want to learn.
2) A decent guitar. Either $100-200 at Sam Ash or another music store or $50-100 form a pawn shop.
3) Chord book/deck. these are nifty. I have a couple sets of these for different reasons (Some i loan to friends, others have somethign the other wouldnt).
4) Maybe a teacher. Depends on your money situation and personal style
5) Lots and lots of hard work. I played (when i first started 11 years ago when I was about about 3 hours a day. My fingers hurt, my eyes hurt, i was sick and tired of The Guitar in the first month. But then I saw my grandpa play for the first time since he had his and crush in an accident and I wanted to keep it up. I play about 15 hours a week now in days. I have played in rock, metal, death metal, jazz, blues, classical, and big band…bands but now I have been out of the game for a while. I still keep up my work. I try to learn about 2 songs a month (though some months I may learn as many as 20-30). Like I said, alot of work. There is a site I will give you, there are some free Lessons but the good stuf is pay.
