It looks like a gibson or epiphone sg!. What you are going to want to do is definitely take it to an experienced guitar luthier/guitar tech(repairman) and ask for a "set up"!. They will re-string it for you, set the intonation, check the frets, action, and truss rod/neck!. Pretty much they will get it into tip top shape to learn on!. Get a beginers book and start learning!. Dont get fustrated at first!. Just keep pushing and it will pay off!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Get it all checked out as the guy above said!. Once that's done, find a teacher and take lessons!. Trust me: you'll learn a lot more and progress much faster than if you were to teach yourself!. Yes there are good books and websites out there, but eventually you will need a teacher!. So you might as well start now!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Man is that a Gibson SG!?!?If it is!.!.!.!.then you have struck gold!.!.!.start playin right away!.!.!.sometimes really old guitars cant be tuned cuz the wood is bent/warped on the guitar neck!.!.if you have problems like these maybe you could get them fixed at the instrument store!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

looks good!.
It is an electric guitar so you will need an amp
also check its strings, make sure all 6 are there and replace any ones in bad condition
good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
