Hello, I'm planning on buying a ukulele... but I do not know how to play the normal acoustic guitar. Eehm, I was wondering if that's okay? Will I still be able to learn how to play the ukulele?
thanks. 5 stars

So... In September of 2010 i bought an acoustic guitar by the brand of Lucero and i don't like it at all. it was very cheap and just recently i've decided i want an electric. i know. what a was of money... kinda. i got it for $150 including the $20 2 year warranty on it and my mom suggested we sell it to her friend's husband for $100 or so so he can put it on his ebay store. i'm considering on buying a starter guitar package but i've been told to never buy one because i'll get a piece of crap. i'd like to buy a guitar before school starts because i plan to take guitar for my elective (incoming freshman).i added up the amount of everything i'd need if i bought everything seperate and it came to $314. the packages i've been looking at are $200-$260 including tax and all. here are packages i've been considering. i'd like to play a variety of genres

Answer
The starter electric guitars packs aren't crap. Well, the guitars aren't bad.
But the amplifiers that typically come with them aren't good. The clean sound is average at best, and the distortion and overdrive, stuff you need for rock music, is really bad usually. The straps may fall apart. The rest of the stuff is generally ok.
I would recommend buying the things separate instead. Buy a decent starter electric, for 150 to 300 dollars. A Epiphone Les Paul Special (2 pickups and slightly better than what is listed) or even a Epiphone les paul standard (with upgrades, one of these has been a favorite of mine for a long time).
Yes, the individual pieces are at a better price in the pack...but if you knew better, you wouln't want each and every piece of those packs ! :)
Buy a decent amplifier for at least 150-200 dollars. Yes the amp is going to be expensive, but most 'starter' amps sound bad and may even be unreliable. You want 15 watts solid state or 5 watts of tube power. If you have to go solid state, a roland cube or a Marshall MG might be the way to go, but I would myself vastly prefer the quality of a tube / valve amp like a Fender Champ.
Better yet, buy a good electric guitar, play it without an amp while you save up for a decent amp, and then buy the amp. Not the most fun solution, but its better than ending up with bad equipment that you quickly outgrow.
If you buy a cheap amp, be prepared to spend 100-200 dollars on a multi effects processor to give you sounds your amp can't give. For me at least, I need a good clean sound, a good overdriven sound, and a decent distorted sound, and I tend to be able to get them from basically any valve amplifier, like a Epiphone Valve junior or a Fender Champ 600 ($150 on sale now, its the tube based champ). Bugera makes some great sounding budget amps - their quality control isn't the best, but they make up for it with their warranty.
I'm almost of the view that you should be prepared to spend double the value of your guitar on the amp that goes with it, since with a good amp, I can get good sounds out of practically any guitar I plug into it.
