Learning the guitar.?

First you have to get a guitar. If you don't have a way to make money then your folks are gonna have to buy it for you. If you start talking about playing guitar and wanting one, you may be suprised. Your uncles may jump at the chance help you. Most guitarists love to teach someone else how to play. It makes them feel important. It does me anyway. Starting out playing by ear is fine. Eddie Van Halen doesn't read music and look at his playing.
