Can a beginning guitar student start on an electric?
I saw a band this weekend that made me go home and compulsively buy an electric guitar on-line...The female lead guitarist was just that inspirational, however, I don't play and never have. And so, I have this electric guitar due to be delivered any day now, and I'm wondering if I've made a mistake. Should I have gotten an acoustic, or can I learn just as well on an electric? I haven't bought an amp yet, but I have my eye on a Marshall Mini Amp that I can use with earphones. Does that sound like a good start, amp wise? Well, if this doesn't work out (though I will certainly give it a good try), at least I didn't spend a lot.
Electric and acoustic guitars are played the same way, so there's no reason you can't learn on an electric. In fact, you'll probably find learning easier, since electrics tend to have thinner necks and lower action (strings really close to the fretboard) than acoustic guitars, which makes it easier to move smoothly between chords and notes.
As for the amp, the best thing you could do is take your guitar to a guitar store and test drive a bunch of different amps. The Marshall will probably be perfect for practicing (and I'm a huge fan of the headphone jack), but if you compare amps side by side, you may find something else that suits you better.
Lots of guitarists insist that people should learn on acoustics. But if you plan to play electric music, you're smart to start with an electric guitar. It's easier for acoustic players to make the transition to electric than for electric players to transition to acoustic (going from a thin neck to a fat one is challenging). But once you know how to play either, you'll still be able to play both.
Enjoy your new guitar and good luck!
