Help with a guitar

Buy a Yamaha new or something. They're good starters. Or check craigslist for a used professional model you like. Don't spend $1500 on your first guitar, you don't know how much you'll use it. Otherwise, learn tabs of songs you wanna learn, use the free resources online to learn what you wanna learn. Then, after a year or so if you're dedicated, you've played enough to feel comfortable jamming/generally fucking around. Have fun. Don't spend more than $200 or $300 on your first guitar.

And if you're wanting to learn so you can play out your emotions and let off steam, or whatever, you might get past not wanting love from anyone else. To be fair, I still play and write for the love of my life, even though she doesn't care. But being depressed and schizophrenic with a slew of other mental health problems feeding off of each other, jamming really does take some weight off of my chest. Maybe it'll help you too.

Hey, I have a Fender electro-acoustic (http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Fender-CD-60CE-All-Mahogany-Dreadnought-Electro-Acoustic-Guitar/QMA), it sounds really really good playing it acoustically or through an amp. This is the a simple acoustic (https://www.andertons.co.uk/p/0961596021/steel-string-acoustic-guitars/fender-cd-60-mahogany-acoustic-guitar) if this is more in your price range.

When buying a guitar, don't go cheap early and think you'll move to a better one later on. It's much harder to learn on a cheap guitar (as you can imagine), and once you start getting better you will appreciate the sound a more expensive one makes.

Ask any questions if you have them.

Were you meant to link something there? Can't see it if you did.

Basically, a £150 guitar will be good, a £200+ will be very good and then above that is crazy. £150 is perfectly reasonable for a first time guitar.

Also, for learning, it will take a pretty long to learn open chords, and even longer to learn barre chords. Just stick with it and you will get it.

I bought a fender cp-100 a few months ago and I love it. Only costs $200 and sounds better than most $600 guitars I've tried.

Any Fender will do you nicely, the more you spend the better it will sound of course, but with Fender you will always get a good guitar.

That seems like a good one to pick up and start playing with. Good luck:)

Im assuming your price range is under 300$. You arent going to.get a good new guitar for that price so i highly suggest buying a used guitar from somebody off of craigslist.

Id go with a Takamine, Yamaha, or Epiphone in that order.

Gig bag and strap is not important. Just make sure you buy a hardshell case or a stand for at home. Its inportant that the guitar rests in a position that doesn't put any unnecessary stress or weight on a joint that can warp or put the neck out of wack.

Cheers.
