I second that...

Take it from me...I've been playing for about 2 yrs now...And most of the stuff i learnt are from the net. Get a course that provides u with a strong foundation, something to get u going. After abt 3-4 mths, u're off to go on ur own...

During the course,learn how to read notes, chords, chromatics, scales blah blah blah...
Also, try to acquire guitar techniques such as tapping, A.harmonics, N.harmonics, slides, bends, hammer-on/off.These skills play a great deal in ur soloing and stuff...

Mind sharing with me which genres do u mostly prefer?
Metallica? Dream Theater? D.Mattews?
I might be able to provide u with some simple songs to give u a headstart...

Hi!

Are you still looking for a teacher? I might be able to find you one. I know of a guitar teacher, but I have to check if he teaches electric guitar too [but he can play!].

Do PM me if you need a teacher Smile

actually, do u all think it's easier to learn electric guitar direct or start from classical guitar? cos i find that the neck of the classical guitar is broader and my fingers are too short liao...
hmm... how har? esp the F & G chords.... very difficult to press leh... it's mainly the G lah... thot electric guitar or even acoustic neck is narrower....

Hmm...From what i can tell, it's best to start with a classical guitar...
Why so u ask?
So as to train ur accuracy and hand movement...
No doubt the fretboard of a classical is wider, but in such cases, it provides u with a strong foundation in ur left hand movement. This is consequential because as u progress along in guitar playing, a strong control and accuracy is needed. U may disagree with what i say but my shi fu did improvised this method on me. I'm a teacher myself and i know that this is true cause students of mine had become excellent guitarists...
What's more, i like that creamy tone of a classical.
But when push comes to shove,i would rather be handling an electric guitar as many techniques can be put into use.

P.s The chords F and G aren't hard to hit. U gotta try to stretch even harder,at the same time having no preconcieved notions of how hard the task is and just let the movement develop organically...

hmm... my main problems are my fingers are too short, and there's not enough strength... esp in my last finger... so it's difficult for me to play G chord...
hmm... given a choice, i prefer the sound of electric guitar then acoustic guitar....

guess i was just trying to look for short cuts to take...
ok then.. got to take things one things at a time....
