I decided to go with an electric guitar and I found an instructor who does both in-person and online classes, so I'll mix those up. Been practicing all weekend and I'm stoked. I know it's a long process but right now it's so much fun, especially when with a beautiful guitar like this:
Bought a guitar stand and put it right next to my set up so I see it every time I sit down, and admire its beauty. Now I just want to learn to make it sound as pretty as it looks!
