It is a very good idea to learn an instrument. I prefer the guitars with the fat strings myself. I mean, I can grab my acoustic and strum some chords, but it's mostly just racket. But let me get ahold of my bass man, I'll show you where beat is.
Or let me put it this way: I picked up a bass a while back, and I love love love playing. In fact, hunting is the only pastime I like better.
You are gonna think that you're so awful the first little while you play but one day you'll peel off a few notes and it'll sound so good, you'll think it's the best thing you've ever heard. That's when you get hooked. There are times you'll want to sit up playing so late you'll be drowsy and staggering to bed when you finally put it down. Just keep with it, make sure you learn fundamentals and not just tabs to songs. Use YouTube like others have recommended. And have fun!
Also, as an added bonus, once you've started learning you will appreciate music in a new way. It can be like hearing all your favorite bands for the first time again. That's one of the best parts to be honest. Good luck and glad you're starting this journey. You will never regret it.
That'll age nice. Great price point too That'll make a hell of a camp guitar.
