2. 
   Guitar Notes from AllMusicMethods.com

   If you don't know how to play, learn. This takes time. To learn to play well, take lessons. Otherwise, you can learn from a book, such as Fender Method, or by playing tabliture (or tabs) which you can download online.

3. 
   Gibson Les Paul

   Do your homework. Learn about different Gibson models and the price you are willing to pay. Guitars can be very expensive.

4. 
   eBay listings for Gibson Guitars

   Buy your Gibson! This is the expensive part of the process. You can try a local guitar shop, eBay, Craig's List, or a pawn shop. It is best to bring with an experienced guitarist when guitar shopping, as many nuances can be missed by musicians. Sales people will tell you anything to make the sale, don't trust them.
