Take everything with a grain of salt, including this. But here's what I would tell "beginner me" if I could go back in time.

Technical Information: I think this is too often overlooked in beginner lessons.

  • Use light gauge strings 12-53 (example). Even after 4 years, medium gauge is hard for me to play on. It will hurt your fingers a lot.
  • Learn how to change strings properly.
  • Tune your guitar with an app before you play, almost every time.
  • Get a capo (example). You will encounter songs that are unplayable without one, and it's also easier to play with a capo on because it brings the strings closer to the fretboard.

    Music Stuff: Videos, videos, videos

  • Youtube will have everything. Watch "beginner" lessons, choose whichever you are most interested in.
  • Be super patient. It will be worth it, but acoustic guitar is kind of difficult to play. Nothing changes overnight, but you do get a rush every time you get part of a song right.
  • Learn how to read tabs. It's easy, and there's a million of them.

    Have fun!

I picked up one of these about 7 years ago. It was meant to be a cheap semi-beater my wife could use in her classroom. But it's a very solid instrument. It's got a good tone, stays in tune, the action is reasonable with no fret buzz.

It's good enough I've used it on some live gigs. I still play it now and currently keep it tuned to open D for slide stuff and delta blues style finger picking. I absolutely love recommending it to people. There are a lot of cheap "toys" you can get out there, but this one is amazing guitar for the price.

I have a keyser that I’m not a huge fan of just because it doesn’t like to sit well on the neck (I have an Eastman, not a Gibby, though).

My go-to is my trusty old Shubb. Have had it for probably 12 years and it’s still going strong.

this is the one I use.

I don't own a seagull, although it's the next guitar on my list. I always like Elixer Lights, polyweb coating. I love the way they feel. I'll link them if you need it. Link

The first thing I would try is Simichrome polish along with a lot of elbow grease. That may well help fix some of the scratches too. If that works, follow it up with an application of Renaissance Wax.

I think that should clear up your finish.

Elixir strings, friend. [Nanowebs...#.10, extra light] (http://www.amazon.com/Elixir-Strings-Nanoweb-Acoustic-010--047/dp/B0002E1O7M/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1427653649&sr=8-5&keywords=elixir+.10). I have been playing acoustic guitar for about 8 years now, and I have spent hundreds of dollars on different strings, and after all that trying, these are my personal favorite. I used to prefer a heavier gauge of strings, but I've always used Elixirs.

I can't stand D'Addario strings.

It matters because of whatever program your recording into. I would recommend going cheap. This is my set up,

Interface

Microphone

The interface will come with a downloadable DAW but, I don’t know its real capabilities as I’m a Mac user with garrageband. This set up will get you basic recording.

Here is an example using this setup .
