First things first: If you are just going to start learning guitar, I'd reccomend an interest in it beyond "making noises like Slipknot."
To each their own, but there's so much more than can be enjoyed playing guitar than playing crap like that. It's just a power chord (a type of guitar note/chord) and alot of distortion) Basic stuff. Not very listenable, not very good for just playing for people.
But, like I said, to each their own.
Two packages found on http://www.musiciansfriend.com (which seems to always have good prices on everything, better than Guitar Center or the same) would be a Squier Strat package http://www.musiciansfriend.com/s…
and a Epiphone Special Package
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/s…These two guitars are different, they are cheaper brands of both Fender and Gibson, respectively. Squier is the cheaper version of various Fenders, and Epiphone of Gibson.
But starting out playing guitar, you won't need much. It's pointless to get a ton of stuff until you really know what you're doing as far as playing goes.
I've been playing for 10 years, started with an electric (a Squier Strat no less) got an Epiphone electric acoustic in 1995 and I'm about to buy the nicest guitar I've had yet, an Epiphone Casino that goes for about $650, it's the same guitar played by John Lennon, a full hollowbody electric guitar.Gotta go take a break, I will post more in a bit.
