I just joined and looked around for a few minutes. I have a couple questions. 1st off I am 26 years old and tried to play a guitar when I was like 14 and didn't have the internet or anyone around me to show me anything. I finally got the internet and there were tabs.. used those but still didn't understand much. well now that I am older and the internet seems to have lots of forums and youtube and all these sites that make it easier for me to understand stuff . I might give it a go. i've been really interested in guitar lately from playing that darn rockband and guitar hero games and I was thinking of getting a begginer guitar set up and trying top play the real thing. I know I prolly won't end up in a band or be all that great at it but still wanna try to learn some and play on my spare time even tho everyone i told says I am too old to learn and its too hard to play and all that and it just comes natural to some and not to others. anyways heres my questions I was looking at a complete setup with guitar and amp kit. I know these are cheap but its all I can afford right now. I can spend prolly under 300 for everything. whats the best to get out of these kits? a squier fender, th g-310 sg or the les paul II ??? I can get a pedal for these set ups to make effects sounds right? what pedal is good? I seen the digitech 50. any of these even worth it? help please!!!
