I've got a guitar!

It's only an acoustic, but it was free!

You gotta start somewhere!

It's a bit like this one........

Very cool, my first guitar was a free acoustic as well (but it was a real piece of junk).
You need a tuner and some new strings.

My first bass was a Sears special. It wasn't made very well, but I played it for several years before getting better gear.

I've got some new strings and tuned it in (using Youtube). Then my friend who learnt to play upfront at church in a couple of weeks tought me some simple cords.

Let's see if I can get it to work properly, and have the right motivation. Last time I bought an electric guitar (15 years ago) but found that I didn't have any incentive to learn it.

Just try not to be discouraged if it doesn't come to you quickly.
I have very little (pretty nuch none) musical talent, but I loved music so much and practiced enough to become a passable rhythm guitarist in our church band (for several years).

My first guitar was an acoustic guitar.
I traded this acoutic guitar when I bought the Epiphone Les Paul "Black Beauty".
Till today I never feel sorry I traded the acoustic guitar.

In 2006 I decided to take guitar lessons.
That was a good decsion. I learn a lot.
Last week I started again with guitar lessons and I'm learning how to play moveable power chords.
Monday I learned how to play an other blues schedule.
