MFS answered Wednesday May 3 2006, 11:23 pm:
1) I recommend D'Addario strings. They are usually quite affordable, have good tone and last a good long while. I use them almost exclusively.

2) I am very much self-taught, and I didn't use books, per se. I could already read music from playing saxophone, and had taught myself to play by ear. I would really recommend just going to a site like www.olga.net and pick tablature to a song you like and try to teach yourself. By choosing something you know, you already know what it sounds like, and the tab can give you a boost.

Harmony Central ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)) has some good learning references as well.


3) Accessories? Naw... unless you're jumping straight into slide guitar... maybe a capo at the most for a few songs that might require them.

As always, I encourage you to check out my column under the music heading - I've answered many similar music/guitar related questions in the past. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
