yamaha pacifica pac012 + orange crush amp 20w, is what the shop guy (musicbliss) sold to me as starter pack

but 20w quite loud if living in apartment. nowadays I just use audio interface instead of an amp, plug to pc.

with audio interface(device) it allows you to utilize simulation apps (guitar rig 5, bias fx etc), simulation apps have variety of tone and effects, so you can modify the tone based on preset or make your own tones that you want. I use this just to play with effects on pc with my guitar.

You can refer to below how it is setup:

Recently found that electric guitar is awesome
And wonted to learn how to play
Never play any instruments before
I am middle age uncle, almost 40

Will it be hard for me to learn?
I plan to buy the cheapest electric guitar set on Lazada
If fail also no rasa.

Anyone here play electric guitar?

It doesn't hurt to try! I'm 30 and I just started learning guitar (both acoustic and electric) 1 year ago with no experience playing music, and so far doing ok just by self-learning.
My suggestion to you if you are serious to learn is don't buy the cheapest guitar set from unknown brand. At least buy an Epiphone, Squier, or Yamaha. For amp get something like Blackstar Fly 3, which is a portable amp.

Also, make sure to buy from a reputable shop and ask them to setup the guitar before shipping it to you. This is very important, or else you will be discouraged. Don't simply buy from some random seller on Lazada. I highly recommend Music Bliss, as I've been to their physical shop, and their technician is pretty good.

To manage your expectation, don't expect to be able to play any songs decently for the first few months. You need to keep practicing and build your techniques before you will feel the joy of playing guitar.

As for learning material, nothing beats justinguitar.com. It's 100% free.

Do you know how to play an acoustic guitar or not? If not I’d recommend starting with an acoustic guitar first.

If you plan to get the lowest end electric guitar of those brands, you might as well just go for the even cheaper China/indon brands coz really not much difference in terms of quality and sound.

Cheaper no-name brand is risky though. Will the guitar be setup properly out of the box? If you buy Squier/Epiphone/Yamaha from reputable shop, you can ask them to do quality check and setup the guitar properly before shipping it to you.
But I do agree that you should generally avoid the cheapest model. At least get a Squier Affinity, not Bullet.
