I'm largely self-taught, but I took lessons for the better part of a year, and learned a hell of a lot of stuff...and faster than if I had jut been trying to figure it out on my own.
IOW, find a good teacher.

IOW, find a good teacher. +1 on Danny's comments. IMO, a year's worth of lessons will do you a world of good. Find a teacher who teaches the genre of music you want to play . Not only will you have a much steeper (faster) learning curve, but you will probably avoid a lot of bad habits and errors in technique very early on. Good Luck and Welcome to the forum.

Especially if this is your first instrument...

Nothing worse than trying to learn on a guitar that just won't let you play it, as the action is so high you never hear the notes or have trouble fingering the chords...good luck and have fun! You will get a lot of help from some real cool experienced guys on this forum... +1 on Larry's insightful comments. Often a brand new player will buy an instrument that plays like a pig and sounds like a herniated cat, because "I don't know if I'm gonna' like it." This is an error, because the instrument becomes a limiting factor in your development. Buy a decent quality instrument. Also, recognize that any instrument you buy will benefit immensely from a professional setup. This will make any instrument easier to play and probably improve tone as well. Depending on where you live a setup will probably run you somewhere around $45-65. Ah! The excitement of a first guitar. I remember my first guitar (1964) like it was yesterday. When I upgraded, my mother turned it into a planter. It looked pretty cool.

As far as I'M concerned, you've come to the RIGHT PLACE, 222.
The guys here are VERY informative and generous, and most importantly, NON-JUDGEMENTAL.
We believe there are NO stupid questions. EVERYbody has to start somewhere. Whitefang
