Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

I would recommend lessons though, because more often than not people get themselves into bad playing habits very easily and it's not so easy to break them. At the very least, try to look up what is 'good technique' and try to base your playing around that whilst keeping to something that feels comfortable. It's not all going to work for you, but there will be some things that will just click in your head as to why they're 'good technique'. Off the top of my head a few might be: how to properly hold a pick, keeping good posture, and how to hold the neck properly.
Also, know that you're not going to be able to play everything first try. This really does take a lot of practice to master. I can definitely say that I haven't mastered it, and I've been playing (on and off) for around 9 years. Don't be discouraged by this! All the best guitar players started out at the same level just as we did. Keep focused and you'll get there.
Anyway, that's just a few things that I try to focus on when I am playing. I hope that helps you at least a little bit. Good luck starting out :)
