How to get started with guitar
This is my first post ever so Im kinda nervous lol
Soo basically Ive been getting into writing my own songs lately and I just use the piano I have at home atm, but my friend taught me some basic guitar on hers and I kinda wanna start playing myself now.
Just upfront, I used to play violin and I still play the flute so Ive got a pretty good understanding of music theory, I actually enjoyed the familarity of playing a string (idk if a guitar would be considered that but whatever) instrument again as It has been a while since I last played the violin.
To get to the point, I really dont know how to get started? Ive been thinking about getting an electric guitar second hand but I really dont know what to look out for or If I should start on acoustic? I really wanna be able to have a versatile sound tho and I also mainly listen to alternative music so I feel like Id rather have an electric guitar.
I think Id be able to teach myself what I need to know with all the tutorials online and whatnot but Im really unsure If I should actually commit fully.
So what exactly do I need to get started or need to know? And what kinds of electric guitar are suitable for someone like me? Id appreciate any help really :)
