apoco123 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hi, ive been really wanting to get myself a Guitar and teach myself how to use one, never really played one before, though I have played other musical instruments e.g. Keyboard/Piano (Though its been years since I played or even read music). So I really want to get back into it, and would just love to be able to play a guitar, I just dont know what to set out on getting first...any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

apoco123 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 what are you looking to spend? I'm not really sure, I'm actually waiting for next pay day, so maybe inbetween the £100-£200 range...or 50-100 even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 well i'd probably get the guitar first. Assuming you want an electric, there aren't many good ones between 50-100, but if you can go up to £200 at most... http://www.gak.co.uk/en/squier-affinity-stratocaster-rosewood-black/15975 http://www.gak.co.uk/en/yamaha-pacifica-012-white/40987 Those are probably the best in that range. Not sure what to suggest for an amp though. Might be best to wait and save a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 it might be worth having a lesson or two before you spend any cash. Just in case you're one of these pussies who say their hands are too small or "ouch, that smarts my fingers, i'm going back to guitar hero".
