it all depends on economy and how badly you want to learn to play etc etc if you ask me.
i started with an acoustic, ad bought myself an electric pretty soon really. just learned some basic chords from this guitar book. Guitar instructor is really really exspensive right?
but, you can't ask questions to a DVD.
i would try to learn all i could at home first, then after beein able to play songs and such go to an intrsutor for a couple hours to get some tips and finesse to the playing.
but, i'm no genious, hehe. haven't played for that long either, and i rarely have time to practise, i want to practise more than i do too.
