i agree with franbow...practice is the magic word....how long can u depend on a teacher and make him run after you to make you learn guitar if ur not even dedicated to it....
the only thing one needs is passion for the instrument and with passion there automatically comes you sitting with ur guitar several hours a day and thats practice...

the first song i played was by simon and garfunkel....i dont remember what's it called but the lyrics went like....
i'de rather be a hammer than a nail...yes i would..if i could....i surely would...yeah and i got really frustrated coz i couldnt get the Dm chord right and my father got annoyed and then i couldnt change the chords quick enough to play the song....the worst part was when i couldnt sing the higher pitch...
but when i look back now everything was so easy!
what was i fretting about!

cheers

it is best to start with an acoustic guitar because it gives finger strength which will inturn help you later on the electric....my dad didnt give me the electric until i had gotten the hang of the acoutic guitar...he was like ill know when u have been practicing really hard! i asked him how and he said when your finger tips harden...u all must be knowing that.....so he gave me the electric after a year i think....
so yes acoustic first and then electric but then agiain its your choice of what you wanna do.

mhebert is right but along with getting new strings with your guitar you should also now how to maintain them....if your budget allows it get a string conditioner and oil for your frets.....the strings not only last long but also makes it easier for you to play fluently. as far as the strings are concerned i use ghs bronze acoustic strings for my acoustic one and ernie balls super slinky and dean markely fro my electric....in the end get what ur budget allows you...

i had the same problem that you have although i play acoustic and electric but then i stopped trying to push myself to make new songs..and then one day they came naturally! i couldnt even write a poem let alone compose a song. some people have it in them and others have passion that helps them in what they want to do...the only thing i do is just sit with my guitar for hours and keep trumming and picking and saying whatever comes into my mind and in the end taadaa...its a new song...
welll that is what i do....try that if u like...goodluck man...
