I think you should go with guitar first it is pretty easy to learn the basics, and then it is just a matter of 6. You should learn to read tabs because it is simple and you can learn how to play songs.

Also, wait for sales you can get a good guitar for a good price. I think you should get an acoustic it is a bit harder to learn because the strings are thicker than electric guitars, and it mot blister your fingers, but after a month or 2 you will be find and plus you have to buy a amplifier for electric guitar. Just keep a look out at your guitar stores.

Yea this is the way.

YouTube has basic videos that show you the chords. And here’s a couple ways to make it easier.

  • Try on an electric guitar, it’s easier to hold and get your fingers on

  • Learn basic “Power chords”. Once you know how to put your fingers for one chord? YOU CAN PLAY EVERY CHORD ON THE GUITAR. (Most rock songs

  • Learn how “Tablature” works. Then you will be able to play ANY song. PLAY ALONG WITH THE SONGS YOU LOVE and you will have fun!

—— all of the above should be available on YouTube in 5 min videos——
