Advice for learning a guitar

[glcon]

So,
guys i just need some advice to choose between the 12 string and 6 string acoustic guitar. Firstly, i'm a complete noob and ignorant when it comes to guitars or music. I'm inspired by George Harrison's My sweet lord( at first) and want to learn a 12 string guitar first. so, i just searched this shit :

But, some people say six string would be lot more easier if you'd start with 12 string guitar.

what are your opinions, shall i start with 12 string or 6 string?

Youtube would be your best option

There is actually a good bit of tutorials both online, and videos you can purchase that will help. My cousin learned the guitar very quickly by using both.

I tried myself, how ever quickly learned my hands are far to big.

The most important you need to have inspiration and motivation, also practice everyday.

I've never played a 12-string guitar so i cant say much about. But here's the thing, if you're planning to learn online then you're better off getting a normal beginner guitar. However, if you're looking to learn from a music school or a pro teacher then just buy the guitar whose sound u like more.

hi m8 from a guy who plays a guitar start with a six string guitar not a classic

accoustic/eletric

then go to you tube and type easy guitar lessons and start with a song you know . that as mainly easy cords like c,d,f,g,e, am a7 are all east cords stay away from bar cords

start with one song and play it to you can do it ok before you move to next

also if you look for v guitar lessons he is a good teacher

hope this help mate

The 12 string guitar adds extra harmonics to the sound. For beginners, you are better off starting with a 6-string guitar. Learn the basic chords, scales first. Learn the fretboard. Get your strokes right. Then move on to arpeggios and stuff. Once you are clear about the basics of sound, move to 12 string. Or else, it's just a waste!

Definitely 6 string.
You don't start with calculus in 1st grade either.

Besides that, I always found good stuff on his site:
