lol whatever.. I am an electric guitarist, and I think it's best to start on an acoustic.

Mojo I agree..but I started at 11 with some piece of shit acoustic with action so far off the fretboard it was ridiculous...but you know, you're a kid and you play it...adults don't have that gumption usually..

i can play. 24 is not too old at all. i tried to start at 16, sucked, got fusrated, eventually gave up, tried again at 21, still sucked, got fustrated, gave up again. tried a third time at 26 and not i am really starting to get it.
lessions are not nessicary, just find some friends and play with them, they will teach you things along the way. but the best thing is just pick a song that you think is to hard to play and force yourself to learn it. its amazing what you can pull off if you practise.

I built one castle, that fell over and sank into the swamp. So I built a second castle, that tipped over, caught fire and sank intot the swamp. Ah, but the third castle..that stayed up!

i would start with an acoustic. mr nylon string spanish style. If youre starting from scratch,and dont have friends willing to teach you, i would reccomend lessons... even a chord book would help...
then learn all t petty and n young songs and youre set..

...AND NO SINGING!

I used to tell myself it was going to be impossible to sing and play at the same time.
Literally worked for five years through college trying to figure it out.
Wasn't until coming to Chicago in 2001 that I first sang/played in front of people. God, thought I was going to puke. I hate that feeling. But eventually got so comfortable with it, playing my own songs, used to sit and read subtitles on the bar's tv's where I played usually every Monday night for nearly two years.Next step in my performing evolution is to figure out just how drunk I can get onstage for purposes of loosening up and being a little more spontaneous.
I hate drinking before a show because alcohol is not so good for the throat when singing.
