So the question I pose is this, is this a good idea, or just a waste of money? Should I go electric, or acoustic? Is there any advice you would like to extend to someone just learning to play? or maybe if you know of any good sites I could learn from, maybe link them.

Well I know I'm going to buy a new guitar this summer... I'm playing for more than eight years tough....

But only buy one if you now you're not going to quit after a week or so, and go with someone who knows something about guitars. Cause the men from the shop can give someone some real c**p and even ask a lot of money for it too. Als buy something decent from the beginning, it doesn't have to be that expensive but don't buy junk. Again only do it if you're sure you'll still be playing after a few years.
