46 years old and have been dying to learn how to play forever. I received a Fender Squier ( signed by John Mellencamp believe it or not ) as a gift from my brother and bought a Peavy 15 watt vyper modulating amp to practice with ( used for $70) I promised myself that I wouldn't invest any more loot on equipment until I could actually play. Ive been on guitar tricks for 2 months now and am just continuing with the fundamentals course. ( Your great Chris) What I do see when I venture off to other forums or you tube is that everybody calls the squire a piece of junk and not worth 2 cents. My question is is the equipment that I have good enough for me to get rolling and to see if I will stick to this and actually get good. I think it is. Also when I do move up in equipment what would be a good piece to look at. I dont mind something used but I also dont have a huge amout of cash to dump either.
Thanks in advance for any input!
