Okay, cool.
I'll have to buy one though because I broke my last beginner's guitars by slamming it continously aganist my stereo. I was just a little angry that's all.
And yes, I broke my stereo as well.
smart, really smart
yeah you should definitly play an instrument, im sorry i thought you already did... yeah if you wanna make songs playing an instrument would be VERY handy... piano is also a good instrument but id advize you to start with guitar, it's easier, it's cheaper, you don't need so much room, you can taek it anywhere wht you to play and it's just more practical to learn... im sure some of your friends know guitar so ask their help... if you depend on beginners books you'll take years! start with simple songs... Lola and Wild Thing may be very clich? but they do teach you your basics and they always do well at camp fires
if you wanna move up a step i can recommend the red hotr chile peppers, most of their (older) songs are pretty easy on guitar but then suddenly have a "weird" change in it... something that when you try to play it makes you think "wtf? how did they come up with that??
" so it's a good start to learn harder things... they also have a strong bass line, so you'll practise your rhythm while playing along with he guitar...
oh and a beginners hint: everyone wants to play like jimi hendrix but for your own sake: DON'T try to play jimi or led zep when you're just a beginner, your self esteem won't recover... take it from someone who who refused to touch her guitar for almost two years, no matter how badly she wanted it!
