[Dinosaurs have souls?]

Guys just buy a goddamn Eastwood, they're relatively inexpensive, extremely playable, and so versatile that they really are good for everything you could want.

I used to own an old Mosrite copy by Eastwood, and that was a damn fine guitar. P-90s and a Bigsby tremolo = badass.

I learned on an acoustic. Bought a $150 Washburn off musiciansfriend.com and was pleasantly surprised -- I just wanted something to beat to hell, but the tone was very clean.

I'm more of a rhythm guitarist than a soloist anyway, so acoustic works for me. I just taught myself basic chords and hacked my way through my favorite songs (which, lucky for me, are simple progressions like G - C - D). Not exactly the most difficult stuff in the world, but it kept me playing. Trust me, the novelty of "Hey, I can play a song!" doesn't wear off.

Do whatever you need to do to keep practicing, everyday.

Theory? Yeah, I guess I should work on that. I can pick up notes and keys by ear now, so I'm trying to train myself to pay more attention. Maybe I'll go browse amazon...
