Please help me!!!!! I want to learn to play the guitar!!!!!?

Question

1. What is a good guitar for a beginner, but is still great quality, but is easy to play?

2. How long will it take me to be able to play songs such as "With You"?

3. Should I use a YouTube instructional video to learn to play, buy a book to learn, or get lessons?

4. I'm 14 years old, is it too late to learn?!

Thank you for any help!!!!!!

Answer 1

Just a basic acoustic.

Answer 2

long and mcquade usually have a 200 dollar electric and amp combo for starters.  Not bad to learn on for a year or so until you know if youll stick with it.  Otherwise Id suggers a 350 dollar acoustic, you can keep it always cause it will be decent.  Probably some cheaper deals in buy and sell classifieds

I don't know know what song 'with you' is but it will take a month or two practicing everyday to play a couple neat parts to songs and a year probably to get to the level that your thinking

Youtube videos are great, learn some basic chords E major and minor, D, G, C, A major and minor from the vidoes and then some basic songs....theres some really great videos out there so look around.  Books and lessons are great too, they can't hurt

I learned at 14 and I'm probably better then you even want to be...a person could learn at 70

youll have to stick with it but once you learn a few chords you'll prob practice like crazy.
