I know that there are plenty of good musicians here that are self taught, so, if you could, please tell me how should I begin self-learning the guitar, and, if possible, what kind of guitar should I buy/start with. I think I'll leave percussion (the drums) for later. If you know of a good site to check some music sheets for the guitar, that'd be lovely too. I had two years of music class, but all as been evaporated from my brain (I knew how to play the flute). I can't really remember how to read a music sheet (shame on me) but if I saw the basics, I think I'd remember. I'd love to know how to play, so if you have a spare minute to drop an advice or two to this girl here, I would love to hear.

Thnak you for you time, in advance, and please keep up with your awesome music, people.
