Acoustic Guitar Learning ...

    is it to learn acoustic guitar? I've tried to pick up bass long long ago, so I have a very crude understanding of how a guitar works.

    Lately, I've been getting all these great idea's of songs in my head (and I have a basic mastery of reading/writing music) but I can't exactly put it into song without the proper tools. So I've decided to teach myself to play acoustic guitar,

    so, those of you guitar junkies/veterans any tips/pointers? Also, if anyone has any suggestions as to the brand of acoustic to pick up that'd be more than welcome.

    Please bear in mind that I don't work because I'm just like that and I don't have all that much money (part of the reason why I'm teaching myself after all) but I don't care about that stuff, I just want to make music.

    Suggestions, points, advice, anything?

    ya ever try to learn tab?
    I started playing guitar about 13 years ago, i dont play it much anymore.
    Get used to strumming and the basic chords ie . E, A , D. The first few chords ya learn will wreak your head and your fingers will cut a tiny bit and hurt but after ya get used to them you will pick it up easier. Basically the first few chords are a little tough but after that you will fly. Depends on what ya want to play also. Im no professional.

    just get a cheapish acoustic from one of the guitar shops (try them out first) and learn a few basic chords. you can get diagrams if you google it. youtube's another great way of learning.
