[DiSoRdeR]

Been looking around and found this Electric Guitar Pack: LinK I really do not know alot about Guitars yet, is the a good Electric Guitar pack for some one who is just starting out?

Would you recommend this pack or another one? I do not really want any thing to expensive right now.

Most people will recommend starting out on an accoustic, and I agree. I started and its alot easier to play electric.
It gives your fingers a workout.
Also you might want to look into a classical guitar.. I know, you're like wft?!? But the strings are further apart and easier to push down and dont cut into your fingers as much, and its alot easier to play and learn on.

I started with an Ibanex Acoustic Pf Jam Pack... got it about a year ago, still really nice!

I have never looked at one of the guitars that you posted in life so I want directly comment on it. What advice I do give comes from teaching guitar for three years and seeing lots of students quit. One thing i'm big on is finding and instrument that is comfortable to play. Which is why i tell people to shy away from acoustics. They tend to be big with sharp edges. On an electric its easy to shim the neck if its not quite at the right height or angle. The bridges have fairly easy places to adjust string height and intonation. Acoustics dont really have any of this.. if the intonation is off you can remove the bridge (which is expoxied on) and move it, its a total guessing game. If the strings are too high you have to shave down the saddle its time consuming and real easy to mess up. I'm not even gonna go into what it takes to fix if the neck angle is wrong. I like classical guitars even less. The necks are really wide catering to the classical style of playing making them alot harder to play. This is fine for classical technique which is a finger tip plucking not a strumming like rock, country etc. Its hard enough to learn guitar without fighting an intstrument that wont say in tune that the action is high on and has an uncomfortable neck. On electrics you want to pay attention to the fit and finish. Run your hand down the edges and see if the frets are sharp. Alot of times it pays to buy a no name instrument too. For the same price or less you get a better guitar. (alot times made side by side with the name brand ones in a factory in Korea) Alot of times with a new student I would wind up taking the time to set up their instrutments. A little shimming, filing, and adjusting the truss rod can make a world of difference in a guitar. If worse comes to worse the resell value on an electric is much better than on an acoustic. Sorry for the long rant. I'll get off my soap box now.

Most the basic beginner guitars are the same. I would recommend going out and just picking one up and a local shop and strumming on it. Some guitar bodies are more comfortable then others. A couple of years ago i was looking at my second guitar, an epiphone les paul, but i didnt like the feel of the body so i got a fender instead.

Does the pack that I want to get come with every thing I will need? Here is a LINK to it. What do I need in order to play?
