Hi I'm wanting to learn to play the guitar and wondered if anyone could help with a choice of guitar that's not too expensive but value for money. Any help would be appreciated thanks

the best thing to do is to go up to your local guitar shop and ask for their advice
explain your circumstances and tell them you want to spend about £60 or £70
if at all possible though take a mate who plays guitar and knows a bit about it
most people when they start off usually get an acoustic which is as good a choice as any
but get up the shops and see what they say....dont buy your first guitar off ebay or the net
you need hand on ...or your mates hand on
