I'm thinking about learning to play guitar. I think I'd probably end up playing folk songs, mostly. I would like to be able to someday pick up mandolin and some other more folk instruments.

I've been going to a lot of folk dances and Irish pubs lately, and at some point I'd like to be able to sit in on some of the open band nights.

I need recommendations on what type of starter guitar I should get (acoustic, six steel strings?). I'm looking to spend between $100 and $300 USD. I'd also like recommendations on learning to tune a guitar.
