Question to our musicians

And the beauty of it is, if you are absolutly stuck, you can get a 'How to Do it Yourself' help book or something at your local music store on the guitar. I've been browsing around when I get a chance for a guitar, and almost all the time I come across help books. If you can't get positions right or anything AND you need a few songs to help you get started, buy a good conditioned second-hand help book on the subject; it should help

Thanks everyone! Another question (probably a pretty silly one), is a 3/4 guitar some kind of kids' guitar, i.e. is it too small for adults? I'm asking because I've been looking around for cheap guitars and the 3/4 ones are so much cheaper than the 4/4 ones.

I believe that's either yes, a children or girl's guitar (Which they make now, and some are pretty bad ass) or it refers to the scale of the neck. What kind of guitar are you wanting, accoustic or electric and what is your price range? I'm sure I can recomend something for you.

Well, if I bought one it should be a pretty cheap acoustic guitar. And if those 3/4 things are small, it's not really that much of a problem because my hands are freaking tiny.

Ibanez makes good, cheap accoustics. I actually only own one accoustic, and it's a cheap Ibanez, I love it. Great tone and it plays well. If your hands are small, you may want to go try out a few different necks to find one that feels right for you. My hands are kinda medium, not big, not small but I love bigger necks and frets on guitars like Les Pauls have compared to Fender guitars. They feel right, and are easier for me to play. But everyone is different.

For now, I am going to stand by my recomendation of the Ibanez guitars. Get one of their learning packs if you can, great value, decent guitar (Especially for the price.) if those are too expensive, Let me know and I'll check out a few others for you.

Thanks a lot!

I'm totally broke right now but as soon as I get some money I'm going to give it a try. Wow, I'm actually excited.

Glad I could help Barky! Feel free to ask me anything, I'll do my best to answer.
I can't even describe the feeling I get from playing music, and I think the more people that get to have that feeling, the better.
