Do you guys even have a guitar?

Posted: **4/12/2003, 8:36 pm**

If i had a guitar i'd teach myself, or have a friend teach me.
leasons = blah. I'd just stick to it for hours everday till i was good.

You'd self-teach then eh?

Posted: **4/12/2003, 8:40 pm**

yup, i'd learn how to read music and do the hand position things, then just play my ass off forever. i want one so fricking bad but i dont know if i should go with acousic or electric and how much to spend to start off.

You have no idea as to how much money you wanna spend?

Posted: **4/12/2003, 8:43 pm**

well i'm hopping in the 300 to 500 area, but i dont want to get a crappy guitar so maybe i should go more.

Posted: **4/12/2003, 8:43 pm**

always start with acoustic that is what i have but im gunna take less ons cause i cant focus on one thing while on the comp

Posted: **4/12/2003, 8:49 pm**

You'll be able to find one for $500.
I may be wrong beacuse I never bought an acoustical guitar. I got mine from my grandma

ANd start out on an acoustic. NO sense in spending x amount of dollars on an electric and amp and effects if you are gonna give up playing a few months down the road

and Josh....dont study the guitar while practicing. Like you said you wont be able to focus. One can successfully self-teach one-self. If you need stuying material, print it all out. It comes in handy.

i wanted to actually learn a litte before i went in, does anyone have any good sites?

Posted: **4/12/2003, 8:52 pm**

thanks for the advice guys. I should get one but i've been putting it off for a while.

Posted: **4/12/2003, 8:55 pm**

Go for it dude. Its really tough to learn but once you learn...its amazing. :nod:

how much research should i put into picking a guitar? or should i just go into a music store and buy one?

Posted: **4/12/2003, 9:01 pm**

I like to call myself a guitar player, but I'm really not.

well it really comes down to your own personal tastes dude.

My-self for example...I do not buy epiphone or squire guitars.....I buy original gear
