Buying My First Guitar!?

I got the sudden urge to get an electric to mess around on. I’ve never played before, but have played other instruments so i’m familiar with reading and such. Anyway, I’m looking for something that’s super cheap (and then later move up once I decide I it and I actually have money to spend). Two that i’m considering now are the Squier strat, which you may know comes in a starter kit at places guitar center. I also saw an Epiphone Junior which caught my eye (though I’d be on my own to find an amp). I’d to be able to play blues or Latin rock Santana, but anything that can cover a wide variety of music would be great. What should I get??

Why Don’t I Understand Music?

I play the baritone horn In my school band. I can not tell your how much I love , but I cannot play it for my . Most of the kids in my band pick it up almost instantly and no madder how much I practice I cannot understand it at all. I have menersized all the note names and fingerings, I can most high and low notes, I know all the rules, and my sound is very nice despite all that I cannot take a peice if and just play it. My band teacher is amazing and understands what I can and can not do but I get so down on myself because I cannot play it. Any advice?

Does She Like Me?? Need Help!!!?

I’m a freshman in highschool and I this girl who’s a sophomore. we’ve know each other for a couple months, and we’ve became really good friends. we listen to some of the same , watch some of the same shows, and we both play Xbox. Between us, I think we were made for each other. We have each other’s number, and we text each other ever now and then, but we talk all the time in school. We have the same lunch, and we sit together, and we talk for just about the whole lunch period. we went on a trip a few weeks ago, and we sat next to each other on the bus. We talked the whole bus ride to and from school. sometimes when we talk, I can see a little smile come on her face. My friends says that whenever my name comes up, she smiles. since the trip I’ve been so lost and confused. My instincts tell me that she likes me, but in my head I just think to myself that she doesn’t. A couple of my friends say that we should go out, and that we would make a good couple. whenever she hears them say that, she just smiles and says “OK” ( in an awkward way).
she show me signs but I know if she’s being nice, or flirting with me. for example, while we were waiting for the bus to come for the trip, she wanted me to sit with her, and a group of her friends. She always comes to my locker when I have to go, or she’ll want me to tag along with her, if she’s going somewhere. she takes pictures on my phone, a puts them as my wallpaper. HERE’S a big one, I sat next to her while we had some spare time left in class. One of my friends was standing next to me, and he told me to come to the side because he had to tell me something. He really didnt have to say anything, he just stole my seat. She wanted my friend to do something for her that required him to get up, but she only wanted him to get up, so I could sit next to her (it made me raise an eyebrow). this girl like me, and how should I tell her I like her??
