Suicidal Pop-tart asked:


I really would like to take up guitar. However I'm not sure where to start..I don't even know the terms/notes etc.

Anyways, I want to play stuff similar to "The Devil Wears Prada", the band, not the movie/book.

What all do I need to start out with?
I decided to get a
"Schecter Tempest Custom Electric Guitar (Vintage White)"
What kind of amp would be good for me to get? I want something that will last a bit...

What else do I need to start practicing?
And ABOUT how long does it take to get good(assuming I practice a few hours a day? I basically wanna know when I can cover their songs.

(http://youtube.com/watch?v=ufN6olJ3P8s an example of music I want to play)

I know this isnt going to be an over night thing, I don't expect to be wailing on the guitar by the end of the year. I don't need any "Get a cheap guitar from walmart cause you're going to quit in a couple weeks comments" I'm looking for serious answers.

Thanks.
