I agree, the best way to play is the way that you are comfortable playing, if you need to look at music to play a song then have it handy. I just got back into playing after over 20 plus years away, and my memory is shot compared to what it was. I can play one and only one song from memory and that is the theme to MASH, only 2 strings and 12 notes if i count right. I practice daily and look at the music for each song the first time thru , play a full round of what i am working on then try my best without the music, but have it there for when i need it. I am used to this method already so it comes easy to look at sheet and keep playing . But what ever works for u is the best method for you!

I know i am little late for this year, or early depending on how you look at it. My first guitar was a acoustic my mom bought used at a pawn shop. she took along a friend of the famialy to check it out. I loved it, however I dont remember just what it was. I had a friend got a Sears guitar and he picked at it for month or so, then laid it down.

Honestly if your on a budget like most people are these days, it is good idea to shop of good quaility used guitars. This will extend your dollars alot. If you must get a new guitar in a box and all that, you really cant go wrong with the Yamaha Gig Maker Deluxe package, comes with everyting u need to get started and a nice solid top guitar, if u want to save few buck just get the standard packiage about $150 and the top is laminate, for a starter both are good items.
