Question:
Ways to learn electric guitar?
I want to learn to play electric guitar and I'm pretty sure I can teach myself (tons of people do it..right?)
I just don't know where to start. Any tips?
Answers:
my advice is pick a simple band that you like and start finding tablatures
some good bands to start with are greenday, acdc, the ramones, the sex pistols. really anything with a little barchords because once you learn barchords you can play many different things and will pave the way to learning lead riffs
once you find a nice simple band you like go look at places like 911tabs.com or ultimate-gutiar.com (my favorite) and search for song names, it'll give you tabs for them which are pretty self explanatory (chart showing the string to hit and what number fret, extremely easy to learn)
good luck and i hope that helps you
(if you're still looking for a guitar i suggest getting a fender squire stratocaster, they're made in china but are identicle to american made strats and only cost about 200 dollars. don't go for the starter pack, it's better to buy stuff independant, my first set of gear was a squire strat and a crate 16 watt amplifier.)
