re: Resolved to learning to play guitar: advice wanted

I don't play guitar but I play some keyboard and percussion. I can give you advice because I have a few friends who have picked up guitar and it's never easy unless you devote a LOT of time to it. You need to learn basic chord structure and don't try to be like Stevie Ray Vaughn and take it slow. Good luck. You have to love it to be great at it.
