This early 30s guitar nub just wanted to say hai! to the guitar phreaks out there!

I'm taking beginner electric guitar lessons atm due to a mid life crisis and I just wanted to know how long before i get past the feeling that my fingers feel too fat and clumsy and why does it take so much f***ing effort to stretch my fretting hand over 4 frets! sad.gif

Also, a friend of mine has kindly lent me his ibanez G10 to learn on till I decide to go really silly and get a mortgage for a guitar i can't afford. Is it worthwhile going down to Singapore to get a proper guitar or do I have to put up with rip off prices in KL?

First off, congrats for deciding to pick up the guitar! Prepare to spend countless nights practicing that song perfectly, only to realize your fingers can't work the next day!

Well, it depends on what guitar you're getting, really. And bringing down a guitar and amplifier back from Singapore has alot of problems, logistically speaking.

You can get a decent setup in Malaysia for about RM1500, including Guitar, Amplifier and some accessories thrown in.... refer to our budget guides for more details....... btw, our top recommendation is still an SX Stratocaster copy with a Roland Microcube....

nightzstar, you haven't listed down a budget...... so we can't recommend you anything. If you have NO budget, get an American made Fender Straocaster or Gibson Les Paul...... each costs in excess of RM6000+++ If you're lucky....

And eye, I personally love Les Pauls, so I'm quite biased to the Eclipse....

But word of warning, ESP prices in Malaysia is quite ridiculous, so prepare to spend alot of cash on that. The ME-50 looks particularly good to me, as it has 24 frets and a trem........ Hmmmmmmmmm...... might consider getting that if I can't wait for my Ibanez S 24-fret!

Thanks for the words of encouragement mr moderator.

Since I've got the crappy Ibanez as a loaner, I'm going to to keep using it till i know a bit more about guitars.. and then whip out my cheque book when i know what i want. Till then, I'm going to keep working on the exercises in my beginners guitar book till i can nail some white stripes songs.
