anyways, it is an acoustic Seagull S6 original.  So far (meaning last night) I just started doing some finger dexterity exercises on it.  If any players have any advice or youtube links to other very novice instructional videos i'll take em.

"I got my first real six-string

Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it 'til my fingers bled
Was the summer of 2017"

Congrats, bro!

Wish you were in the SW Ohio area as I could recommend a really awesome guitar teacher (Jim McCutcheon in Dayton). He might have some videos on YouTube.

But the nice thing about guitar is that it is also one of the best instruments to teach yourself on. Patience and practice are all it takes.
