Hi cass,

I've been playing since i was 5. Guitar is awesome. I would actually suggest learning on a cheap electric. The action is low, use extra light guage strings. Much softer on your fingers. Both these recommendations are based on ease of learning and not getting discouraged, not for overall sound purposes.

I say learn how to play chords first, It will build your confidence in a shorther time. call me anytime for advice or any tips. my phone numbers are on my sites.

Good Luck
