When you learn to play the guitar, it can seem like an impossible task at first. This is especially true when you first sit down with no musical experience at all. You may find that it is much harder than it looks. However, the advantages of making time to learn to play the guitar or any instrument are definitely great. It is well worth the time and effort of practicing every day. There are a lot of basics that you need to know before you even sit down for your first jam session. You need to decide which guitar is best for you and learn how to take care of your guitar by changing the strings, making adjustments (or finding someone qualified to do this for you) and of course keeping it in tune.
My favorite sound in the world is that of an acoustic guitar. If you are just beginning to learn to play guitar, even if your final goal is to play electric lead guitar, you might should consider playing acoustic first. It will make electric guitar feel easy to play when you get started on it and it is less loud, which is usually a good thing when you are just starting. :-)
