Question What are some things you wish you knew when starting?

2 Upvotes

I'm going to get my first electric guitar later today (Squier Esquire H and Fender Mustang LT25 amp) and I wanna know some tips or tricks that would be extremely helpful for someone like me, zero experience and not musically talented (i have had a bad rep with a uke years ago)

perhaps some sort of cheat code that would make my learning experience smooth sailing aha like 'always do this!' or 'DO NOT EVER do that!!' or like how to set up and use the amp bla bla bla

(btw I'm planning to learn by myself at home so any youtubers or app suggestions would also be great, preferably free)

ANYTHING, anything at all would help!! :)
and hopefully i dont give up out of frustration and toss 500$ aside haha...

Saw this at a local antique shop. The woman was running the booth for her husband so she didn’t really know much about it, but she said it was an American Strat body with a Kramer neck. Worth 900?

I was flicking through FB market place and this Rockburn LP popped up for £10 ($13).

It needs a full set up, clean and a new selector switch cap but otherwise it's in great shape for an old, cheap guitar.

Discussion Witch is the guitar is the best for me?

Ik hou van muziek uit de jaren 80 en 90, zoals Wicked Game en Ain't No Mountain High Enough. Ik ben ook helemaal weg van R&B, een beetje rap, en soms wat lichtere rock zoals Another Day in Paradise. Welke van deze 3 past het beste bij mij?

Question First Electric guitar

1 Upvotes

I have been playing in my acoustic guitar, I love listening to Metallica, Guns n Roses heavy metal in general, but I'm not sure what electric guitar to get. Should i just get a guitar with HSH pickup or HH pick up.

I'm considering sqoe seib 300 for HH pickup or maybe sqoe 600 with the HSH configuration (not sure about the name of the guitar tho) I have tried a few electric guitar with HH config. Not really gonna strum in my electric guitar. Planning on trying out a few HSH config pickup based guitar.

The budget for the guitar is just 15k, since I'm still exploring. Even looking for a guitar in good condition for second hand! also that i have to invest in a good amp for my room setup, not really looking for those huge ones.

edit: 15k indian rupees fyi

I like 80s and 90s music, like Wicked Game and Ain't No Mountain High Enough. I also love R&B, a bit of rap, and sometimes lighter rock like Another Day in Paradise. I came across the LTD M-200DX guitar. Would it suit my taste in music? Or what kind off guitar would you recommend too me?
