Reddit – Dive into anything

I’ve always wanted to learn how to play and I’ve been hinting to my husband that I want a guitar plus an instructional DVD for Mother’s Day which is coming up pretty soon.

So what’s the best cheap guitar for somebody who has NO freaking idea what they’re doing and will be learning to play against their hand dominance (I’m left handed, but I do a lot of things ambidextrously…it just comes with the territory since SO much of the world is geared for right handers)?

I’ve been looking at the E-Media Teach Yourself Guitar set as well as a no name beginner guitar from WalMart that’s fairly cheap (mostly because it’s cheap and it’s pink :D).

::edit:: When I say cheap, I mean dirt cheap like between $50 and maybe $100 because that is literally I have to spend right now on a guitar, plus a DVD to start me off and equipment I’m going to need like extra strings, picks, a strap, etc etc etc etc.
