Hi Gilbert0, and welcome to GT!
You've come to a great place to progress for those prepared to work toward it.
As an analogy, learning guitar reminds me of teaching people to fly. Most have some ability in varying degrees of aptitude. Very very few are "naturals", and only an extremely rare few are "gifted" (prodigies).
Yamaha's FG820 is a sweet sounding unit to kick off with. Not a dreadnought fan for their awkward physical fit for me, but the FG820's tones are right up there! Like most guitars from Yamaha, it punches well above its price point weight.
Absolutely first rate instructors here. If you get as much from your time here as I do, you'll be surprising yourself within the month.
Cheers.
