Hi, I'm a young 50 year old father of three (two sons one 5 and one 21, and a daughter of 31) from Romford, England. I have a lot of experience of life from both the good and bad sides, the good side when I was singing in bands almost every night and my life was one long party, and the bad side having to admit I'm an alcoholic and doing a hard rehab/detox programme (sober for 10 years now) then having a heart attack and a broken marriage to deal with. I am now in a good place in my own mind and want to help others as much as I am able to.

Im a girl, so i already know i'll suck more at guitar then guys. But, i'd like to start getting into guitars because music is one of my passions. I have long slender fingers so will that be an advantage when playing guitar? Okay well my question is, i want to play the song "vermilion pt. 2" on guitar, and I think its acoustic. I looked up the tabs. It said acoustic i think. Well anyways i was looking up acoustic guitars on google, and i also looked up electric guitars. And acoustic guitars are ugly! So, whats the difference between acoustic and electric guitars? Electric looks easier, but i dont know much when it comes to guitar. Please let me know as much info as possible, from experience would be even better. Im a beginner (only played like a couple times and sucked). Thanks so much this is something i wanna get into. THANKS (link)

Firstly, don't start out thinking that because you are a girl you'll be any better or worse than a guy at playing guitar. There are many good female bands and guitarists around. Yes having long, slender fingers is an advantage when playing guitar because you can get your hands into the shapes to play chords easier and will probably find it easier to play solos.
The main thing about acoustic guitars is that they are big and bulky, but not all of them are (you may need to look hard to find them but you can get slimline acoustic guitars with necks basically the same as an electric), you might find it better to look at electro-acoustic (or semi-acoustic) guitars, they look better and are styled to handle more like electric guitars than acoustic ones.
If you really want to get into this don't let anyone or anything put you off and take some lessons and practice.
Good luck
