How To Learn Electric Guitar
I remember when I first decided to learn electric guitar. I had an attraction to the instrument for many years but it was only when a friend of mine got one as a Christmas gift and I was able to hold it in my hands that the passion ignited big time. I couldn't wait any longer and decided there and then that I HAD to have one.
Most people kind of graduate to electric after playing acoustic guitar for a while, there's kind of a time honored rite of passage there! Personally I think its good to be able to strum and play some chords on acoustic first, it will definitely give you head start once you start in on electric.
An important decision is what style of guitar will be your main interest? What is the style you're most excited about and feel the most motivation to learn? It's important as learning electric guitar is a very different experience depending on what you want to learn. Someone taking electric guitar lessons for Jazz, for example, is going to be a world apart from another learning Metal right?
There's no real hard and fast rule for how to learn electric guitar correctly. That's why its so cool and accessible to everyone. For the fastest results my advice would be to use a combination of lessons with a local tutor and teaching yourself online. There are many resources for how to play electric guitar so take advantage of them all in combination.
As a final thought please avoid jumping into the deep end and trying to learn things which are currently beyond your ability. You have to build up your technique gradually over time and this requires some patience, common sense and restraint. Its really for the best since to kill yourself trying to play something way beyond your technical level as a beginner is a one way street to frustration and failure. You've been warned!
So long as you practice regularly - a little bit each day, and use a variety of learning resources youll be giving yourself the best chances of success on guitar. Make sure when you learn electric guitar that you stay within your range as a beginner, I'm repeating this because of its importance! - 18762
