right thanks again for so much useful info. I really appretiate it. ^-^ hope you guys have next meet up remember to call me would ya? xD

Ibanez is a very decent brand for beginner to Pro players ... Even Herman Li is using it ... Haha ... Main features of Ibanez : Slim neck ... Nice to fret with.

but then can i buy something like "Stagg" then well it's not a good quality electric gutar but my friend told me that it's good enough for begineer like me. and suggested me that after i archieve some level in guitar then i buy something like epiphone or maybe gibson something like that.

Ibanez have a cheaper, you can get a twin humbucking plus single pickup, a long fret(you never know when u might need extra fret) and a tremolo bridge for only rm800+, and u'll surely able to use it for years. Epiphone and gibson model comes only with twin humbucker, no tremolo, and a short fret and you need to pay a quite sum of money(like rm900++ for epiphone or rm3000++ for gibson, the cheapest i can get).

Then again, if you're really into saving mode and just really want to practice using electric guitar, you can get a SX or Aria guitar for only rm400-rm600. Second hand model of these surely drops to rm200.

try go amcorpmall. got 1 small shop selling musical instrument super cheap. well brand sound unknown but i think should be okay for beginners. forgot the name that shop also selling old cd records. those piring hitam one xD. is at ground floor.

1. One other beginner set that is often mentioned is SX guitars.
2. I've not seen enough people using Staggs. Just ask the shop for a try.

Somehow, if it's budget restricted and enthusiasm kicks in, acoustic guitar is a good start since it can help make your finger more durable. Start off with chords and bass note, the hop on to the solo bandwagon after you got your finger fast enough.
For me, acoustic is the same as electric in term of practicing, except it didn't have enough fret to practice most solo. Reading tabs is good but don't get too used to it or it'll make you less sensitive to tones and scales.

is this real? kodomo is getting advices????

Akim dah maju. Neway, i iz bored with no guitar and pedal.

yeah. that's where i found a broken les paul

woah kodomon giving advice in music?

Man, my playing abilities drop severely when hungry... dexterity, concentration... all gone...

Sorry to hear that, playing bass must've need a lot more stamina than playing guitar . I have no problem practicing but i avoid strumming too hard.

But then you must think , Stagg is cheap when you buy it ... But can it last you as long as an Ibanez or Yamaha ? You pay more in the beginning and can save the rest for better or you get a cheap model and you have to keep upgrading till you get satisfy ? With a RM1k budget , You can already buy the Ibanez Starter pack for about Rm9xx ... Or pump it to Rm1.2k-Rm1.5k to get an amp + guitar . For beginner , I STRONGLY suggest Ibanez. I personally used Ibanez as my first beginner bass few months ago ... Now not anymore

Seconded Ibanez here , rm900 can get GRG series which is more than a beginner could ask for. But I'll still go for my white SG

In before free dinner at KL Tower



Hope this one is of much better quality

Biler nak start jamming nih , i don't have the proper equipment for youtube recording

is that you?

Yep that's me... in this thread I usually post my own covers

oh nice!

@Eccen, Stone won't be playing during fasting. And my bro is still new to the drums (but he's picking up quick... frighteningly quick knowing his skills playing Starcraft)...

Would like to ask the readers of this thread. Any proposal of an anime song with slightly easier drum beats?

Strangely, he finds playing Don't Say Lazy is within his reach, so hang in there until he gets there.
