ultimate-guitar.com is a great website, with lots of wonderful material for beginners, including video lessons. just do yourself a favor, avoid the forums at all costs.

in all honesty, i wouldnt go with something too expensive to start with. the percentage rate of people who stick with it is just so low.......

it just depends. some people pick it up like its nothing, others just cant get their hands to move the right way. its not like playing guitar hero.......... fender is good stuff. epiphone is decent.
