I want to learn to play guitar.
I originally thought of getting an Ibanez (The ibanez in question h t t p :// w w w. guitarampkeyboard . com /en/71827) and was eventually disuaded by some mates because they reckoned it would sound awful to learn on because it's more metal orientated (I want to play metal mainly).
After nothing really coming of it for a while, my mate then offered to sell me his BC Rich Platinum Series Mockingbird (Black. The colour of HEAVYMEEEETAL

) and some random little starter amp for about £150.

Is it worth it? Should I get the Ibanez? Should I get something different?
