So, I, uh, bought a guitar.

I have no idea how to play guitar. So I bought one. Hoping I may one day learn well enough to actually play it for my friends or something. Don't know a damned thing about the guitar or amp tho.. except the guitar is an Ibanez and the amp is a crate or something. Anyway, pics:

Sorry the pictures suck, but I'm too lazy to drag this stuff outside.

Nice one LN :)

Be prepared to find out just how painful guitar playing can be-that is until your fingertips become so calloused that you're able pick up hot coals. :)

Yep, its not as easy as it looks. I've been playing for, I guess, nearly ten years now and I'm still ****.

I think you need to be a) a natural, and/or b) have your heart totally in it.

Nice guitar though - good luck! :)

It's comforting to know I'm not the only one. :)

I must admit to being slightly disgusted, when after first picking up a guitar I wasn't a speed-soloing lunatic. I still think I just keep on picking faulty guitars, because in my mind I have what I believe are known as 'skills'.

So, did you start out by learning Stairway to Heaven or Smoke on the Water?
