Hey
Just got my first guitar today, tried to jam a little but that doesn't seem to work out too well.. so i started looking for a website to offer some starting details, that's how I got here 
Anyway, the reason why I want to learn to play the guitar is because I've been playing way too much guitar hero (some of you must know of it, i hope) and really fell for the idea of actually being able to play those songs (and impress friends and foes alike!!).
So... off I go, wish me luck ^^
PS: I got my guitar through mail and for some reason one of the screws on the front tune-o-matic was loose in the box and he bridge itself is sticking halfway in there, should I return it or could that easily be fixed at a guitar shop?

It should not be a hard fix.

Welcome aboard, Tom. Playing the real thing is a bit harder than Guitar Hero, but it's nothing you can't overcome with the "Three P's" - Patience, Practice and Persistence! Playing the guitar is a lot of fun - enjoy!

Hi Tom, Welcome to the forum. A guitar shop could fix that for you but you shouldn't spend your own money on it if you bought it brand new I'd send it back and get a replacement or ask for a discount as it should be in good condition when you buy it and it is still under warranty, just my opinion. Guitar hero is pretty cool
