I would like to start electric guitar need a lil advice!?
hello all, i am thinking of starting the electric guitar. I have played piano for around 3 and a half years but stopped recently (just wanted to let you know i have slight musical experience and can read piano music - not sure if thats needed though). I dont have guitar YET (what type should i get?) and want to learn it. I wanted to teach myself the instrument but lessons are definatly not out of the question. i also have a few friends who have been playing guitar for a while who can get me started but i just wanted to know what equipment i need and if you know any really good dvd or books for teaching yourself guitar?
i have been researching the guitar recently and i have read that for rock/ punk/ metal music i should start on an electric. i always thought you had to start acoustic but i guess i am wrong (i have also heard that it is hard to switch from acoustic to electric in the future).
THANKS TO ALL ANSWERS!
*fingers crossed i get any*
Ideally it would be better for you to learn the principles of guitar playing on an acoustic guitar. Once you have grasped how to hold the guitar and how to strum, where to put your fingers ect.. then these skills can easily be transfered to the electric guitar, if anything it is easier to play the electric guitar because the neck is a lot thinner so it is easier to hold and pick out the chords. You could also possibly try a semi acoustic, this is an acoustic guitar with the capability of plugging it into an amplifier. When you are learning you will find that pressing down on the strings will hurt the tips of your fingers, this is normal. Over time with constant playing you will find that the skin will harden helping you to play for longer with comfort.

try that link for some tuition I couldn't tell you how good it is because I haven't tried it myself but I'm sure any lessons will be very helpful to you.
