I was going to post the same thing!

If I was starting out, I would begin with an acoustic guitar (maybe $500 for a pretty good guitar). Take some lessons or download guitar tabs from the internet (you don't have to read music):

A friend is in a band and teaches classes Saturdays at a music store in SW Calgary. I wouldn't spend a bunch of $ on electric gear at this point.

Some songs are so easy, you will be playing them around the campfire this summer. If you want to solo and play leads, practice, practice, practice.
