Learning to Play Guitar
Patrick:
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.

Untrue - Syd recorded most of his stuff on an Esquire - essentially a Tele with only one pickup - and while Gilmour did record with Teles quite often, especially in the early days, he used mostly Strats.
Nodaisho:
See, Pat, problem with that is how I don't know any stores that carry them, and I don't want to buy a guitar that I haven't had a chance to actually play, even if I know the quality for certain, I want to know I like the feel of it.
Adnrew:
I started off learning songs that I liked listening too. I don't know any of the notes in the scales that I play, but I know the patterns my fingers move. You don't have to be classicly trained. It helps. I played trumpet since 4th grade (19 now) so I can say a general knowledge of beats and measures and signatures help in the long run.
The easiest thing is to just play. Anything. Even if your just noodling around and playing things that sound like crap. That happens. It always will. Just find scales you like playing and always go back and play along with songs you like listening to. Music should be an organic thing.
Yeah. Just play.

Hey so I'm thinking of learning the guitar soon too. Everyone tells me I should buy an acoustic guitar first for a variety of reasons, but in all honesty I'd rather be learning to play the electric guitar. Is it really important to get an acoustic first? I understand that I would need an amp for an electric guitar and that it would generally be more complicated than an acoustic (or at least I've been lead to believe that) and I'm not too worried about it.
