 I love guitar.
Anyway, what's the best way to get started? I was wondering whether it'd be possible to learn rhythm guitar on it?

Then you use your right hand to pluck or strum the wires that run along the guitar. If you do it right, sounds should be heard.
Seriously though, does it have nylon strings or steel strings? That makes a difference in playing style. Either way, I just grabbed a book (this was way before teh intarwebz) with chord shapes and started playing. Unless you know where you're going it doesn't matter what road you take.

What's next Fassa, French horn?
Just go to the library, pick a songbook with chords of Your choice of music and start practicing.
Don't get this the wrong way, but the christian campfire songs in these parts of the world only have a chord or a two, REALLY easy to play.
Regards

Is TB not going to forget that in a hurry? I mean, there must be one more person who's done the same.
