...I gotta learn to play something already.
Actually, my acoustic is in tune now, so I just need to buy some replacement tuning pegs. And turns out I've got a ukulele for my birthday which just needs to be tuned, and I can pick up some backup strings for both soon. No reason not to learn now.
Along those lines, charity shop has a Ryder electric guitar for £90, brand new. Is that a good price?
