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.

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

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.
Luthier? Intonates? Sorry totally dun know what is that, will Google when go home
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.
Ya, planning to get the cheap bundle set Will look for more info on the Vox and headphones amps u talk about
I mean type of music like rock,pop,jazz,blues,dangdut etc etc...
I dun listen much music

Stop listening to bad advice. You'll quit electric guitar very soon like this if you use such a terrible bundle.
So? No cheap guitar set?

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.
This fingers exercise called spider walk. Do this everyday for 30 days. Til ur finger doesnt feel tired or cramp.
Ok, sorry I dun know is a real thing

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electric route are outdated and bad advice.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)
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
i dun listen much music

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.
ok, sell to me the guitar cheap2 rm50

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.
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
