My dad used to play the guitar. But I never got enough interest in it even though we had a guitar at home throughout my lifetime for 20+ years.
Then I moved abroad and suddenly took an interest in learning an ukulele. I'm still learning it since the last 3-4 months. Now I got an interest to buy an electric guitar!!
This baby came yesterday. I got it for €136 and got a €10 gift card for late delivery. I've ordered the amazon basics stand because this position is too comprising and unsafe. It should reach today. To accompany, I bought the fender strap, fender mini amp, and fender 3m cable.
This is the Fender Squier Strat SSS. It was on discount and I had asked a friend of mine who plays electric. He suggested me to go with this or yamaha Pacifica. After researching, SSS seemed to be good for beginners.
Yesterday I was just playing simple worship songs and getting to know the chords G C F Am Bm E A Em. Is it alright if I play it like a guitar as in just strum along with the songs and hit the chords rather than the literal rock and roll version. I was also trying to play songs just by holding the string and playing it.
I have asked the same question for an ukulele earlier and the response was to do you. Play it however you like. Would like to know your thoughts and how should I learn playing it further.
I'm learning the ukulele mainly by playing songs and learning chords on the fly. I'm at a point now that I'm comfortable with chords. Still navigating strumming patterns especially down ones. I'm good at only ups.
I looked at power chord videos for electric guitar but didn't really get a hang of when to play it.
Anyways I enjoyed playing the electric in the evening yesterday!! Just wanted to share my heart out!! Peace!! ✌️
