Noobie on Elec guitar

Trust me .... get the acoustic first.... play it alot... then slowly you will improve. Diving head first into electric guitar is "fun" yes.. but it will also be a waste of money. go to luther music.. you will see tonnes of people selling their samicks and cheap yamahas... looking to upgrade to sumthing better. Gear Aquisition Syndrome (GAS) . Might sound like a new term to you now... but in 1-2 years it will plague you like aids.

playing an acoustic is more effective for improving quickly and steadily. It is also perfect for bringing to tekong.i brought my ibanez into tekong last time.. and i had to stuff the whole thing into the X-RAY machine... not cool. then POP must carry guitar + Duffel bag. i almost died... acoustic easier.. simple and good.

eh but then now i got both acoustic and electric, once i play alot on electric, i play crappily on acoustic.

Anyway i started playing acoustic, struming C-D-G-D over and over on acoustic. Then learn more chords...and practise till i sleep in the afternoon. I think start with acoustic is good, but not fun 1......really sian. BTW, i m still very lousy.

People advised me to start on acoustic so i jus pass on this advise to u lah. Not that i very good or wad, jus wanna post on forum so i dun have to study for exam. :twisted:

Tsk Go study. I'm too studying for A levels so that I can into NUS to find people to set up a band.

But i feel that if u always study, u might not have time to form band. Like right now, me and my friends who are interested in forming band all scatter liao. Last time same class, now all over. Should have make use of that chance to play first then study.

 

[pooo]

all just a matter of time management...

Well my idea is to see your band members almost everyday, and find a place to jam together everyday... And what better way than to be all in the same institution.
