As a self-taught drummer myself, i can tell you that there really is no 'fast" way to learn an instrument. It takes a lot of patience, practice, discipline, and hard work. Now that being said, some people do learn quicker than others so it all depends on the person. I have two cousins that both play guitar and both are self-taught. My one cousin Terry practiced just about every day and picked it up quicker than my cousin Dave, who didn't practice nearly as much. Terry became pretty darn good in about 8 months. It all boils down to how determined you are, how much you practice, and how quickly you pick things up. My advice would be to get an instructional book or DVD and learn a few chords. If you do it on your own you will save a lot of money and you can go at your own pace. Guitar lessons are not cheap these days, unless you know someone. Just give it a shot on your own for a month or 2 and see how you progress. Then if you feel you need lessons to get better, then find a good teacher that won't be too expensive. But the key is to practice....practice.....practice! Good Luck!

Slash toured with one in the mid-90's and you can see him playing it in the video "estranged." I don't think they are any less popular now than they were in the 70's. The guitar companies certainly make more of them now than ever.
Sure, Jimmy Page and Kiss played them but they still pop up now and again. Guitarists see them as a novelty and they always have. Some 80s glam bands, like Poison used them because it looks freakish and draws atention.
It's stupid if you think about it. One guitar is a 12-string and the other is a 6-string. Or one is an acoustic hollow body and the other is an electric solid body. Or one's tuned in drop D and the other is e major, etc.
So what's the point? Just get two guitars and save your back from giving out!

They are still used and available, although I never saw the point other than an "image" thing. It's just as easy to swich between a guitar on a stand and one around your neck as it is to switch between the 2 necks on a double neck.

Ah yes, you can go stright from 6 string to 12 string, and some were utilized to go from 6 string to 5 string bass...yes, they can be seen, but are the choice of the band, often are used to show off skills more than needed to hit the right notes.

The days have past.
Nowadays, players use the creativity of the fingers rather than the device.

In my own experience, electric doubles have gone down in popularity while high quality acoustics- which are rare to begin with- are pretty popular... we sell as many as we can make.

Lots of music stores still sell them, but not in vast quantities... I know Joe Perry (Aerosmith) still uses one.
