Electric guitar...

Lol. Just saw this. I've played for 35+ years.

Want to have fun? Best advice is to have a large mirror in the room you like to play in. Ya gotta look cool while playing.

Seriously, if starting out, learn a little bit of theory. Don't have to be a theory genius, but It's good to know. It will avoid getting into a rut. And at some point you will get into a rut.

I really like the signals studios YouTube channel.

I wish I had YouTube when I started. I wore out many cassette tapes and bought quite a bit of guitar magazines. This was late 80's, early 90's.
