I wanna be able to play the guitar. Nothing fancy really and im saving up for a guitar now and im wonder how much would one cost just aplan old NOT ELECTRIC or anything... no cool dizine i dont need that at like wal-mart or something. And i cannot afford lessons so what are some good sites that show me the cords and what they do and how to play some songs already made.

guitars can be really cheap, like second hand ones, maybe $60 ish.you can check on ebay, or other internet sites, even local papers and see if anyone is selling one. a good website for chords and tabs for songs in chordie.com, its like a guitar players bible-amazing.

When i got my beginner acoustic it was around $100 thats for a nylon string guitar. For a steel string its around $200+ I would suggest you get something with some quality because alot of cheap brands sound off and aren't the best for beggining. I love my guitar and it was only around $100 i think or less. I wouldn't follow a website's instructions on how to play. I got this beginner book from the music store with a music dvd in it to help me with chords and learning to play and its simple. It was about $20 i think. If you buy a guitar from a music store, a beginner guitar, they usually come with cd's or dvd's to help you learn. A chords chart is usually in a beginners book that you find at the music store and is VERY helpful. It tells you how to play the chords and has a list of all of them. Also if your just beginning, i suggest an electric tuner. My beginner book taught me how to tune my guitar but theres usually instructions on the tuner box. at www.ultimate-guitar.com you can find alot of songs on there but a chords chart is recommended. Some of the chords on there are a bit off and a chords chart gives you the proper chords. I answered a question similar to this so feel free to look through my advice questions and see if i missed telling you anything! Love xXxPuNki-PiXiExXx

I'm in the UK, and you can pick up an acoustic guitar for around 30 pounds (which is about $60), and if there's one in walwart, then that should be fine.

I'd advise you against buying one with plastic strings though!!!

As for learning, you're going to find it much easier to learn if you can find somebody to teach you - lessons dont have to be expensive, ask your family if anyone has a friend who can teach you?
