Cheers to everyone on here--I'm like Binary Sunset, thinking of finally learning acoustic guitar and this thread is very helpful. Especially because like Bruno I don't have the time for serious guitar lessons. Or much money! A related question: what sort of acoustic guitar is good for beginners? I went into a guitar shop and they had a Fender (think it was a Sunburst?) that seemed pretty good. Whatever feels good(and budget wise as well), you could bring someone who plays guitar(or play/judge it yourself) to help you to decide on wich one to pick. Just don't pick one because of it's looks, you could be buying a guitar that looks fine but has high action(that makes harder to do barechords) and could make it harder to learn how to play in the guitar. Angel Child is another one that could be performed with some ease. Thanks! I've barely started figuring out all the parts of the guitar and a couple of the chords, so it's probably a good idea for me to ask a friend to come along. Now I'm going to sound like an idiot...but what exactly does "high action" mean?

That the strings are higher(if you look the guitar from the position you play when sitting down) and by consecuence harder to bar togheter, it is good if you want to play arpeggios, but for begginers can be a pain in the ass(or the fretting hand ) Pic of low action High action In the end it's your choice, but choose wisely.
