Greeting From A Socal Noob Guitarist!

Greetings and Hello!


I am 29 years old and am just starting to learn the guitar. I am liking the site so far but I just really need to know how to get everything going.

I inherted some of my fathers equipment and am a bit overwhelmed as to where to start. The Amp is pretty old and has most of the letters rubbed off. I have the guitar playing through the amp so I guess that is a start.

I will list the items I have as to better serve any advice given.


Gear:

Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar - I dont know what year.
B.C. Rich Warlock
Fender DG-22ce Acoustic Guitar
Gibson Acoustic Guitar
Fender Acoustic with Plastic Strings
Old 60s Marshall Amp with 2 x 12" speakers
One Distortion Pedal
Conn Strobotuner
Cheap Electric Tuner
Random Cables and Gear Cases

So.... as you can see Its a bit hard to focus with all these differnet things to play with !

My goals are to become good at playing the Guitar and record my own music, I know one is way past the other!

So any comments would be great!

I am also looking at those pedals with all the effects in them i.e. GNX 3000 I saw that at a Guitar Place in Hollywood today.
