-- Posted by SingDanceRunLife at 8:07 pm on July 24, 2008 So, I've wanted to play guitar for awhile, and I'm thinking about  trying to pick it up this summer. I want a cheap (but reasonably good guitar) and good self teaching guides. Any help? -- Posted by tkedwn119 at 8:08 pm on July 24, 2008 but a Martin guitar -- Posted by necronomicon master at 8:08 pm on July 24, 2008 If you're hot, I'll teach you via webcam. I'm serious. -- Posted by CherryxBomb at 8:09 pm on July 24, 2008 get the beginner's strat pack. its a good deal because it comes with an amp, guitar lesson books, guitar case, guitar picks, and the guitar of course =] just look it up on google to see for yourself. -- Posted by SingDanceRunLife at 8:11 pm on July 24, 2008 I want acoustic...Not electric. -- Posted by Bonolove at 8:17 pm on July 24, 2008 http://www.guitarimports.com/ but it's a hard instrument to learn... -- Posted by SingDanceRunLife at 8:20 pm on July 24, 2008 It may be hard, but I've wanted to play since like 7th grade...And I'm going into 12th. Also, I've got resources to help me. A friend and my youth pastor. It also probably helps that I used to play flute and bassoon. -- Posted by SovSull at 9:27 pm on July 24, 2008 martin, taylor and takamine are all fairly solid brands. your best bet is to swing by a music store, play on a few guitars, and see which one best suits you. guitar is awesome and anyone who disagrees doesn't know what they're talking about -- Posted by SingDanceRunLife at 9:52 am on July 25, 2008 Question: Hey, I have a question: How bad are the guitars that you can get at like Target for $99...The reason I ask is that they come with instructional stuff as well...Like this one for example: http://www.target.com/Acoustic-Guitar-for-Dummies-Package/dp/B000FPPZLE/sr=1-2/qid= 1217004196/ref=sr_1_2/602-6277043-6643822?ie=UTF8&index=target&rh=k%3Aacoustic guitar&page=1, or, this one: http://www.target.com/Natural-Acoustic-Package-SD3000PAK-NA/ dp/B000BUDR68/sr=1-1/qid=1217004196/ref=sr_1_1/602-6277043- 6643822?ie=UTF8&index=target&rh=k%3Aacoustic guitar&page=1
