Thanks for the comments. I will check out Robert's DVDs. I'm also aware of Justin's site already, and have learned from both already over the last year. As for what kind of music,... anything I can play at this point! I like instrumentals mostly, especially songs that I can play by myself...

Hey, I doubt anyone will remember, but it was about a year ago now that I stopped in for some much needed advice. A quick summary: - 38 yr old decides to pick up guitar for first time. - Has no idea what he's doing or looking for. - Not even sure it will hold his interest. Ok, now the great...

What web site is this?

here are a few pics.

Mine has the HSH configuration. The body is all solid.

Thanks for the comments. I actually spent a few days thinking about it before I finally made the decision. I don't have any brand loyalty at this point, but I was a bit afraid to go with something I had never heard of. Fortunately I saw a lot of positive comments about it through a bit of...

For the amp I bought a pocket pod, and for the guitar I ended up going with the Hohner OSC archtop. Here's the guitar,... I got the black version. http://www.hohnerusa.com/index.php?1537 I honestly don't know if it was the "best" choice, but it seemed like the nicest guitar for my budget. So...

Oh man,... I don't come back for a bit and look how fast things go off track! :) Anyways, I just wanted to stop back in quick to say thanks again. Unfortunately work has taken over all my time the last few days, so I have not had the time to look things up the way I want to. I did look a bit...

Wow,... thanks for all the responses, now I have a bunch of new things to research. At this point I'm taking all the info I can get. It's better to have to sort through a bunch than not knowing anything. As for my home situation, it sounds very similar to what jasongins said,... I have 2 kids...

Hello all, I just want to introduce myself to everyone, and ask for a bit of advice at the same time. I'm looking at buying my first electric guitar soon, but I need a slight push in the right direction. I'm 38, and I've never touched a guitar in my life, so I don't feel I can walk into a...
