A music lesson or two is nice to get you started. With instrumentation in particular, you will benefit from having a one on one with a teacher to help get you in the good habits, and answer the questions everyone has starting out. A typical new lesson can be had for $20 for an hour of instruction. Many accomplished players go and take lessons to learn new techniques. There is no shame in it.

For beginners and vets alike, it can be a very daunting decision! The number of different kinds of instruments available borders on infinite- made even more so by access to the internet. However, with readily available information comes the threat of confusion of facts – which seems to be the biggest stalemate. The fact of the matter is, we can’t tell you. Neither can anyone else. That choice is up to you. Something made you want to pick up the six string/bass, so what ever that something was…emulate it. If your inspiration is an acoustic player…then you need an acoustic, if it is Angus Young, then look at his gear.
