My friend gave me an acoustic guitar, not the best but something to learn on. After i learn a bit what are some good rock,metal or whatever kind of songs that aren't real difficult that i can learn. I figure if i learn real music instead of twinkle twinkle i'll enjoy it more.Also any advice on dvd's to learn from. thanks.

Would anyone recomend a dean guitar like the vandeta.

Are any of the starter paks like epiphone les paul special2 or Ibanez metal pak good.

I'm thinking of buying my first electric guitar. I'm a total beginner and would like some advice on which guitar or guitar-amp package to buy. If i can learn some stuff someday i'd like to learn rock and metal. I heard Ibanez or mabey epiphone les paul special II are good starters.
