Well, I bought a little all-in-one guitar package. Came with an electric guitar, a few accessories, and even a piddly little amp. I'm taking some lessons from JamPlay as well.
It will be interesting to see how this goes. I'm not even sure what style of music I want to play. I'm not into rock or any of it's forms, even though that's generally what it's used for, I guess. I'm trying it out because it seems like such a versatile instrument, and I really love it's sound. For someone with skill, I think it can fit into almost any genre of music.
I will say though, off the bat this seems much less intuitive and natural to play than the piano. The piano starts off easy, but gets hard quickly. I'm hoping the electric guitar is the opposite.
