Re: Guitar advice (just starting)
don't worry too much about the instrument, you just need to get a guitar that will stay in tune. a low end fender or yamaha should do the trick. most of the sound you get out of the instrument comes from your hands, the way you hold the pick, etc.

the most important thing you can develop as a musician is your ear. learn to hear melodies and pick them out on your guitar. david gilmour solos are great for this because they're so melodic, and easy to hear and approximate. even when you're first starting out, try and use your ear all the time and pick out what you're hearing on your instrument. start out with happy birthday or mary had a little lamb.
