Acoustic Guitar info !

[Alana]

Thinking of taking up the guitar as a hobby and interested to hear from other budding guitarists.
Now obviously i need a guitar but which would you recommend for a newbie?
Is the guitar easy to learn?
How long do you recon it would take before i'm tackling these little numbers below?

YouTube - Don't Look Back in Anger - Oasis (cover)

YouTube - Use Somebody - Kings of Leon (cover)

Dont worry my singing is coming along nicely, just looking for info on the guitar and to hear from other community members who either play the guitar or have stories to share.

Guitar is easy to learn, once you have the chords down youll be flying it. For a newbie any guitar will do, I have a washburn semi acoustic myself byt if your just starting off any will do. Just make sure the strings arent plasticy. Oasis very easy to play Kings of leon handy as well enjoy

I play guitar, but I'm no Eric Clapton!

Back in the day, I started off playing Oasis songs (from 'What's the Story Morning Glory' and 'Definately Maybe'). These songs are ideal for beginners as they follow very simply chord patterns.

As I've got older, I'm more of a Beatles man and prefer to listen to/play Rock, Rock n' Roll and Rhythm and Blues!

Get rockin' you guys!!!

Ive played guitar for close on 15 years now. Ive taught a few people but generally if you need more than 10 lessons its a sign you have the wrong instrument in your paws. Its not that you will learn everything in 10 lessons, these lessons should be used to show you how to hold, tune, re-string the guitar and other things like how to hold a plectrum.

When you start playing guitar your fingers on your left hand will be crying at you. Most people quit as soon as this happens. You should keep on going right through this. It takes about 3 months and your finger tips will harden. Then after that, the whole thing becomes an addiction you will never shake.

Also, buying a cheap guitar is a fatal mistake. Im not going to start arguing with anyone over this but if you dont spend at least 250 euros on one you might as well not bother (nothing in this world sounds worse than a guitar thats intination is off). - Spanish guitars (nylon string) are great to learn on and strum on but the sound isnt for everyone.

If you would like any more info let me know!

ps. Dont buy takamine guitar (like so many do) - overpriced crap
