i prefer reading the tabs

These 2 guys taught me so much about guitar for the past 1 year!
I think Justin is better for learning fundamentals, while Marty is great for learning songs.

If TS prefer local, there is Az Samad, who is a famous Malaysian guitarist that graduated from Berklee, but his materials are in Malay: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLT6H...41W1RCzSj7v38Ml

or can get a cort,

on a totally unrelated note, OP do skip interfaces, they are a tad bit complicated for beginners

word of advice.
yes, if you like electric, start with electric, not acoustic, the playing style and learning totally diff.

i started with acoustic (not good anyway) but its hard for me to pick up electric style. so i enjoy playing acoustic style but dreaming of electric.

another point of electric, understand what you kind of sound you like. its it rock (more fat sound) or blue-ish jazzy (thinner sound).

for rock, try google for guitars styled after les paul (with humbucker "fat" pickup), for blue-ish jazz, google for guitar style like stratocaster (with single coil "thin" pickup).

Use tablet

electric guitar easiest to learn

khelben is different la..he has a acoustic guitar hiding behind there in on of his video

gosh you guys make me feel want to pickup the guitar again.
i just took out my acoustic 2 weeks ago at 2am.
belum replace string and buy strings yet.

meanwhile my electric guitar:
- still unfixed input port, broken part, bought part but never solder it out yet for years
- amp gave/pinjam tu friend, told him i dont care what he do with it (with no intention to get it back), now friend hilang entah mana.

How different ? Im start learning acoustic but may want buy electric

These are basic guitar set u need if wanna start full electric guitar.


Or u can opt for semi electric acoustic guitar set.
Can play wif or without electric.


And after u become good in guitar u can play electric guitar wif these effects
Money will fly lulz!

i cant tell you except the feel and the style of playing.
yes basic skill is the same though. iike strumming.


its more of an advice for people that dont want to spend alot of time and money, and just want to have fun.
instead of having both acoustic and electric.

but if you spend more time and effort, and some money. its not big of an issue i suppose.

From my 1 year of experience learning both (still beginner), one thing that stands out the most is muting. When playing through amp, especially with overdrive or distortion, vibrating open strings will make your playing sound shitty, so you will need to learn string muting.

The best thing that ever happened to me is finally being able to play RHCP Can't Stop riff cleanly You can see tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fqm5OuONaE. Notice that in the main riff, you only play one note per strum, but you need to strum all strings to get a percussive sound to it. So while you fret the note with one finger, your other fingers need to mute the other 5 strings.

lmao. this is actually harder than playing the actual song on a real guitar.

learn acoustic is harder and better in the long run. Electric step wah wah pedal, strum cord off also can come out perfect sound.

if you start riffing, then only skills upgraded.

Usually n most of time electric guitar much suitable for rock kind of sound n music, for play power chord. U know, those jeng jeng jeje jeng jeng sound. Acoustic more for non power chord play, more sentimental, harmonic, finger plucking and alot of finger style from original to modify chords.
Of cos u can play power chord on acoustic guitar but not as nice as using full electric guitar. U also can play normal chord like major n minor on full electric guitar but not as beautiful sound as on acoustic guitar sound.

meh, i just go to ultimate guitar and learn song through there. lol.

U consider lucky can learn guitar wif the help of youtube now a day. My time, me n frens only using guitar chord book, listen to radio n cassette. Keep on play rewind play rewind the cassette to make sure we get the right note n sound. Those who poor cant afford to buy original cassette usually just buy blank cassette n dubbing from frens who hav original cassette.

And we watch vcd concert on tat old day, if camera point at guitarist we see their finger at which fred they start play, so we know how to start n then have to figure ourself how to find the next. Usually it wun be far from where it starts.

i also liked a software called guitar-pro. last time i found pirated one. but its hard to find song with that format.

its good for learning though as obviously cant read music tab, even though simplified for guitar with numbers, and dont know the sign for vibrator, or slide up and down.

its good to see the tab and at the same time hear the sound it make on the software.

poor one go friends house, or taman.
one guitar 5 friends, take turn

Lulz! Tats very true. Go taman, even sit beside longkang(mcm la no other place lulz!) Once minat mmg dun care where. As long can play. Bring radio wif cassette player. Some rich fren have walkman we take turn to listen n play. Plus sometimes arguing this the right chord larrr...other not satisfy say wrong larrr. Lulz!

As per their words, if you interested in electric guitar. jump straight to electric guitar. I've learned classical guitar, acoustic guitar and electric guitar. All 3 emphasize on different techniques. learning 1 may not give you THAT much of an advantage as you would like it to be. Classical / Acoustic share more common techniques than with electric.

on another hand, never buy the cheapest budget guitar available. Spend a bit more, and you can get a lot different experience out of it. the cheapest one tends to have rather poor build quality, namely uneven frets or very high action which makes it really difficult for beginner to get accustom to. Then they quit guitar, saying it is difficult. Rmb the law of diminishing return. Your best value for buck often lies somewhere in the middle range.

if you are particular on the tone, go to the shop, ask them play a few pieces for you, and see which tone you like. i think for a beginner, is hard to do sufficient research to know what you will want out of electric guitar (since there are so many variants), so just choose 1 design that appeals to you (if you have no idea on the tone that you like)
