I agree with Boingy that having your guitar set up properly makes learning to play less frustrating but back when I first started to learn I really don't did know any better. My first guitar was a cheapie acoustic a work colleague of my dad gave me. To be fair, it didn't sound too bad but it did have quite a high action so rather hurt the virgin tips of my left hand fingers until I grew protective pads! Nevertheless, it was my first guitar so loved it.

Like Boingy, I also get rather "lost in music" when playing and even more so now I've got a Focusrite and the free Ableton program that came with it and am learning to both record and arrange songs. The only problem is that I become so engrossed that I get myself in trouble because I've forgotten to do various jobs my better half wanted doing!😀 I think Ableton is really more for those wanting to program and create their own beats and, as I'm far from tech. savvy, most of that is well beyond me so I'm probably only using a fraction of its true potential but, even so, I'm having fun just recording live audio tracks for guitar, bass and keyboard and (very!) slowly learning how to program my old drum machine or add MIDI instruments.

Like both Boingy and Ketts, I've collected a few guitars over the years. Currently I have a Yamaha acoustic, an Ovation Applause, Gear 4 music bass, Fender strat (my main guitar) and a Rickenbacker 360 12 string. I'd love to add to this especially a Tele, Epiphone Casino, a 335 and an SG as well as a really nice acoustic, a uke and a classical guitar. A Gretsch might be nice too! Cost aside though I don't think my wife would let me have any more "cluttering up the house" in any case but I can dream.....
