The guitar project begins

After researching guitars online and looking around at the different stores in Jacksonville, I found a guitar at Woodson's Pawn in Midway Park. The guy who sold it to me was awesome and gave me a better deal than I found online! It came with a gig bag that contained a beginners book (yay freebies) and I bought a 10-watt amplifier to go with it.

I was planning to get an acoustic guitar but Matthew talked me into an electric because he has a small urge to learn to play and was not at all interested in anything but electric.

The only problem with the guitar is that it was missing its first (thinnest) string. So, yesterday, I had to go into a music store, being the novice that I am, and purchase a string. Today, I replaced the string and tuned it using resources from http://guitar.about.com (which is turning out to be a great online resource).

I have used the book to teach myself the notes on each string and have been practicing those for a couple of days.
