Well, don't put it off for too long if you're serious about learning. You're at a good age right now to take it up. It won't get easier as you get older, and life won't get easier, either. You'll be just as busy when you're older as you are now, maybe even more so. You seem to be a very intelligent guy, and you have great taste in music! Learning to play probably wouldn't be all that difficult to you.
So, if you really want to learn, get yourself a nice, low end guitar, like a Yamaha or Seagull, or better yet, look for a good used guitar. It's not all that hard to find a decent guitar in the $125 range. Then get on a computer, go to google and search guitar lessons. If you want to learn Lightfoot tunes, ask for help here or on alt.music.lightfoot (you can also get there by going to google groups and typing in alt.music.lightfoot). Both this group and the newsgroup have a bunch of good guitar players, and there is nothing on this earth that compares to getting together and jamming with Lightheads. We all know the same tunes!

My dad has 4 or 5 different guitars. I haven't tried all of them but of the 2 I have tried the Martin seems easier. Is a Martin good for starters or is a bit more advanced?(I'm going to teach myself from scratch).
