Firstly, what sort of budget are you on? As in how much are you willing to pay to get started? The quickest (and easiest) way to get started is by buying a package, which has a Guitar, an Amplifier, a book, cd's, etc Thats what i did (and most other guitarists here, i reckon). An example of a pack: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Squ...Pack?sku=511681 Post back and let me know what budget your on, i can help you out some more. ~Roast enjoy the site
