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.

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

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.
