I can't play the guitar that well either... I've been drumming my entire life, 2 years ago decided I wanted to play a little guitar. I just love "teaching" myself :) Seriously, I enjoy doing it on my own, without the strain of lessons... Kudos to all you autodidacts!

The mighty one? Hehe, I like that! Acoustic isn't too hard if you know how to play piano.

He is one of the guitarists for Evanescence. He makes it look so easy, and I just think he is pretty cool. Kind of how I wanted to emulate Kirk Hammett before him  :)

I'm not very good at anything because I don't practice, but I have proven capability at Clarinet (mainly Bass Clarinet), Saxophone, Cornet, Euphonium, Sousaphone (the big marching Tuba), Typewriter (it's used in some operas), and Piano.  I can't play the first thing on a Guitar, but I'm willing to learn.  I'm also convinced I can play a Drum Set, but I have yet to sit down at one.

I would love to, but I don't have one and I don't currently know anyone who has one, not since my cousin's band broke up.  Funny thing is, I play riight mirror-image from how most people play, so I have to watch drummers from in front to see what they're doing.

Now I've finally got some money coming in, I'm going to fulfil an ambition of mine and get a guitar this month. I know full well that I won't have the time to practice properly and I always sucked at the arts, but I'm gonna blow the cash and get one all the same :) Should be fun at least.

I play the drums. And the guitar and piano. But the last two not very well. I mean, I can PLAY How's it Going to Be on the guitar, but it's horrid. It's D, A, G . . . The verses, yep. And I can play your occasional riff or whatnot, but nothing worth listening to. Unwell on the drums is hard! 'Cause there's the 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and, but the bass (I think) drum is all fast and all in between "and" and "3," much too confusing for one such as I. I'm not coordinated enough, no.

"It's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Oh, that's horse shit! That's no fair!"

lol. I have no idea!

I have a friend who's been playing guitar for years, I'll just blindly get what he tells me ;)

Do you have any recommendations for a beginners guitar? I really don't want to start out on an acoustic, do you think that's a bad idea? (starting straight on electric)

Of course not, if it's not your intention to play acoustic, you shouldn't. Good guitars...... I'd recommend a Squier, they're made by Fender. If you look carefully for one, you might find a guitar that's the same quality as a top of the line Fender.    
Squiers are made of "leftover" wood, wood that has not been hand-selected. This does mean, however, the quality differs enormously for every guitar... It can happen that a perfect piece of wood is used for a Squier, and you'll have a "perfect" guitar :)

I drum for hours on in. See, I'm the child who never sleeps, according to one of my friend's Mom.

"Oh! 'Whimsical'! That sounds cool, 'whimsical'. Everyone knows what that means. No, No, No. I don't."

Of course not, if it's not your intention to play acoustic, you shouldn't.

Sweet. I was hoping you'd say that.

How about this: Is it possible to skip learning chords and stuff and just go straight into overhand tapping and sweeping runs? lol j/k this time.

Thanks for the advice :)

The part in Italics is my answer, or what I say. The part typed regularly is what someone else has said to me.

I've just recently put a payment down on a 12-string Fender acoustic/electric that belonged to my cousin before he decided that beer money was a little bit more important than the guitar his parents paid $800 for.
