Anyone here play electric guitar?

Haha. Ayam unker also. I play piano a bit, but sucked at guitar. Electric guitar is my favorite instruments but since i sucked at it, i turned to piano instead.

I think RM1k+ can get guitar and amp guah. Not really sure since out of the market for so long.

Anyway, just try starting with some chords, learn some power chords for some overdrive fun. And enjoize!

Ya, saw YouTube teaching
Feel like not that hard, maybe buy one guitar and learn

Actually what motivate you to play it? Like you recently heard some song or something?

What guitar brand you want to buy?

Google Rocksmith

Can. Since u wanna start with electric guitar just learn some powerchords first.

Dun know
The cheapest one will do

I saw some cheap guitar with amp in Lazada
Less than rm500 also got

Google Rocksmith

I will Google what is that later
No guitar now

Damn you poop 8

Good
What genre you like?

U need alot to learn 1st.
Learn chords. Need to train ur finger to be softer 1st oso. U nvr play guitar dont expect ur finger can immediately soft.

Better buy gitar kapok 1st for learning.

One thing about guitar for is it must feel right, besides sound right. Just to to guitar stores to test. Buying online may need to to send ur guitar to luthier to set it up corectly so that it intonates and have the right strings heights.

Out of the box it may sound shot even for most expensive guitars.

Power chords uses just 2 notes. 1st and 5th. Rock metal songs mainly use powerchords 90% of the time.

lel just go acoustic first la, terus mau electric.

You think you're jimi reincarnate ka, ya sure ... on guitar hero 

Fender Squier Affinity series are very descent beginner guitars.

Youtube have lots of great lessons for sure!

There are even headphone amps available. Vox used to make (years ago) those portable amps where you just plug it to the guitar and connect your own ear/head phones. Technology now should have advanced and have more options.

Or as you like. those cheap bundle guitar + amp works too if its just for fun.

Internet told me electric guitar is easier than acoustic

Lousy recommendation.

Those are Squiers and not true Fenders. They're getting expensive and the quality is not so good.

If TS wants to play rock and roll or metal, should avoid single coils.

Go for Cort or Ibanez.

2020 Epiphone also good but pricey.
For amp, no need to choose anything else, Boss katana 50 mkii

Sound expensive
I will go for rm500 and below guitar and amp set
If really able to learn then only invest
But thanks

thanks to this I mastered Jason Richardson's Hos Down

I mean type of music like rock,pop,jazz,blues,dangdut etc etc...

Stop listening to bad advice. You'll quit electric guitar very soon like this if you use such a terrible bundle.

Not hard if u really have the passion on guitar. Need to spend alot times on it as well. U dont know chord u cannot play.
Shud start from acoustic guitar 1st, and a book of guitar chords.
Do alot of spider walk exercise to soften ur finger.

Get acoustic guitar, you can play anytime anywhere. Which is good for practice.
Electric guitar need amp and cable and you need spend to pedals/effect to make it sound good.

So? No cheap guitar set?

Thought that we'll be having a bit more time at home during the MCO, decided to learn electric guitar.

Did a tiny bit of research and bought a Squier from Swee Lee and started learning around mid February

Was wondering why my guitar sounded crap compared to everyone's... only then I realized there's this thing called pedals 

Oh dear, another bunch of stuff to invest into. I thought it's just guitar and amp

So again I did a tiny bit of research and bought this pretty neat multi-effect, MOOER GE200.

I also around your age, and just picked it up during MCO since got a bit more spare time and thought why not pick up another hobby.

Posted a thread about it here

vid or gtfo 

Is that you playing?
Just few months can play like that?

This fingers exercise called spider walk.
Do this everyday for 30 days. Til ur finger doesnt feel tired or cramp.

Electric guitar can be easy or very hard. The key is choose which one you like. Don't listen to bad advice to start with acoustic first because you'll lose interest very fast if that's not your interests. The acoustic->electric route are outdated and bad advice.

You can jump straight to electric.

The hardest part about electric guitar is not chords or power chords.

it's finger independence, accuracy and muting (in addition to speed of course)

confirm not learn from rocksmith

lel just go acoustic first la, terus mau electric.

Moral of the story: Don't simply jump to conclusions

As someone who has played guitar for a while before I touched Rocksmith, it's hard to say, but I would highly advice against using it as a sole source of instruction. It is a great way to just have fun playing and spend hours with a guitar in your hands (and learn songs of course), but definitely practice without it sometimes. You want to be able to play without the colored notes. Learn some theory, jam out with no accompaniment.

tl;dr Use it as a learning tool, not your entire guitar learning experience.

And you definitely don't need to pay for lessons. YouTube was my teacher.

This right here.

It's a great practice tool! You learn songs, work on things like accuracy, bending, sliding, barre cords etc

When it comes to theory however, it teaches diddly squat. Not even fundamental things such as how chords are built.

Really it boils down to what your goals are. If you want to know the building blocks of music you will definitely need to learn via other sources. If you just want something to have fun with and play casually, it's one of the best things out there.

With all that said, it's super fun and you should definitely pick it up if you have interest in playing the guitar. It can very well serve as a jumping board to learning such an amazing instrument

Ok, sorry
I dun know is a real thing

Yeah.. practice lor

But very limited knowledge la.. only playing those popular solos

some ppl are musically gifted

lel just go acoustic first la, terus mau electric.

If you want to learn, just go ahead. I learned also by myself. My dad bought me a guitar when I was in Form 3. Imagine that it was before the exam where students started concentrated on study.

Last time in school there was music class until Form 3 and using recorder. I teach myself playing guitar and also piano. Later I go to classical guitar. I can plat flute or anything similar since the fingering are the same like sax, clarinet. I can play trumpet as well. The only thing I never learned is trombone.

That was long ago. My guitar is collecting dust.

Electric guitar for me is easier to make cleaner sounds than acoustic. 

Nowadays much easier to learn than last time

Youtube has everything

I learned elect guitar in 2002-2004, much less guides available

What kind of songs are you playing? Be comfortable with the common chords first(usually those acoustic)

Electric guitar depending on genre, will have power chords(easy), plucking note/solo (easy to difficult), if metal need very fast hand and stronger for the riffs

u can practice first using these apps

all the best

What kind of music normally listen? If you like music from the 60s like Beatles, I suggest start with acoustic guitar. Just invest in a decent acoustic electric guitar.

i dun listen much music
i will watch this later
thanks
ok, sell to me the guitar
cheap2 rm50
i dun listen much music

if you want to learn electric guitar, just buy the electric guitar, don't buy acoustic. Hard to learn or not you need to practice (less or alot, dpend on ur motor abilities), but pickup the guitar to train everyday regardless

dun be like me buy accoustic for 800, then leave in dust after I bought a starter pack for 1.2k 2 weeks later LUL

which starter pack you buy?

which starter pack you buy?

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

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.

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.

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.
