Is that a good starter project, where can I buy all the parts?

I don't know, my first soldering project was my PSoneP, it forced me to be careful, and I think I am better at soldering than I might have been had I not started with a challenging project. I recommend starting with something like that. Something that has some value, so that you will be forced to be careful, but something that won't be a massive loss if you screw it up.

Pick one. They've got plenty of cheap ones, and some good reading material on electronic components and soldering in general. If you just want to fine-tune your skills, take old scrap motherboards and desolder/resolder components. If you can find some electronic device that you really don't care about, try desoldering stuff, soldering it back, extending it, relocating it, etc. and see if it still works. Simple little projects can be good too, poke around Instructables to find some good ones. Good luck!

Maybe not a good first project, but it will let you learn what parts are what, and give you plenty soldering experience:

Maybe a little too simple, but great for a screen with no sound amp:

Or build your own multi-meter.
