Hey guys

I've always wanted to learn the guitar by myself. I should have taken lessons during my high school life, but I wasn't that interested back then compared to now. Regretting a bit now

Anyway, I'm 20 this year. Is it still too late to pick up guitar? If yes, which method do you guys suggest? I've heard numerous like Play-by-Ear etc.. Which is the most effective?

And which guitar should I go for first? Electric or the normal one?

I got a couple more questions, but it slipped my mind I'll post here again when I recall.

Thanks

True also, I got an not-so-new acoustic guitar at home. Seagull I think, was around RM5k when my dad bought it.

Feel like getting a damn cheap electric guitar. No need extra features or whatsoever Any good recommendations?

I just came back fiddling around with my friend's electric guitar, and damn the feeling is nice

He started playing Incubus - Drive, GnR - Sweet Child o'Mine and another song and how I wished that would be me playing instead

For certain, I'm gonna pick up guitar seriously this time Starting off with my 7 weeks holiday coming soon

So it seems that most agree that I should get a teacher first, as not to pick up bad habits. How much do you reckon I can master with 7 weeks, if say I learn for 4 hours per week?

Lol, you guys talking technical stuff now so I don't quite understand

But I will try and take everyone's advice and use it

Like fret hard and fret soft.

I thought you need to press hard enough for the correct tune to be achieved right?

Haha no I won't trade my Seagull Is it a good guitar?

The face of it is rather soft though. Like a few dents are visible made by the pick :\

Don't know man really, most of the time my bro plays it.

But some other dents are caused by bumping into something. The wood is seriously soft one, I used my fingernails and put a little pressure and there is a dent already. Even softer than balsa wood :\
