I agree with Beamer here mostly. I would recomend starting with an electric guitar, but not a cheap one. A good middle of the road electric by a good maker. Les Paul, Ibanez, Fender, no seconds like squire, or the likes. Get a good one that is respected.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Edgar Allan Poe
