Well you should listen to some Iron Maiden, Metallica, Black Sabbath, AC/DC and Zeppelin to start off with. Then try some punk-y stuff like Sex Pistols to see if you like it. And for the love of God stay away from any emo stuff. And in a band the lead guitarist is the most noticeable sound in the band apart from teh music, the rythmn guitar provides the rythmn section underneath with repeated riffs.

If your just starting to play guitar. And not sure if your gonna stick with it Get a cheap squier. Man i loved that guitar when i got it hahaha. But Ibanez imo are the best got one and I love it soooooo much. If you want to learn guitar like bands. I started with easy stuff like Nirvana Ramones (power chords and stuff). then i whent up to Led Zeppelin with a few cool riffs and it was good because i wasnt that fast at the time then once i learned most of there stuff i started to play like Metallica, Megadeth and got faster that way. Then once i got quick i learned Dream Theater, SOME malmsteen (still not good enough to play most of his stuff but im getting up there) so basically listen to a few bands and see which ones you like and learn a few songs, Just look up there tab. thats my advice

I mean,is'nt there some sort of Website that gives u a music test to determine which instrument you are best suited for? how do i know what instrument I'm cut out for?
