ye la

tapi dia kan newbie

dia expect dapat je guitar tu he can oledi start shredding, bending and such

he thinks with that crap rocksmith its gonna make everything easier

he shud start with the basic, proper sitting position, proper pose, proper handling, proper fingering, proper pacing, relaxing, using metronome

and start with strumming basic chords, before going to plucking singles and scales.

its already hard enough for a newbie to sound good on an acoustic..

forget the glory of playing amped riffs and shitz with dozens of effects, he couldnt even strum a decent sounding chord yet

he needs the essential, PROPER basics

even more so that hes self learning

every shitty sounds he gets while learning will be amplified, the buzz and noise on the heavier strings

he'll quit sooner than if he were to start with an acoustic
*
w electric guitar also can learn basic, at;east after eeach lesson he can play simple chord on his favourite song w similar sound....

important is need good teachr so foundation is solid... if not bcum like me.... learn from utube, keep changing how to hold pick, stgill cant follow beat

rm900+ for epiphone les paul

rm??? for amp of your choice, or buy the guitar to pc adapter thingy, but make sure your sound card can support it

Dont go cheap, the horrible sound will kill your motivation
