Question: What type of Electric Guitars should beginners play!?
I am interested in playing the Electric Guitar but I don't know what type of Electric Guitar I should get for a Beginner, And what about Basses!? Are they any good also!? But I just wanted to know what type of a Electric Guitar a Beginner should be playing!?

The type of Guitar I want to get is a Gothic black styled Guitar for Metal but I don't know where I could find any of those and I am looking for a decent cheap one that a beginner can play!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well dont go for the look of the guitar alone as some look gothic and great and are lousy and cheap to play!.
Make sure you go with somebody who plays so that you can check that the guitar tunes well and that the action is suitable and set up for your style of playing!.
Dont forget speed is impressive but so is a single note well played, so slow down a bit and take it easy in baby steps!.
Listen to santana play those long single notes man,,,,,,yeahhhh thats heartWww@QuestionHome@Com

in my opinion(you dont need to go with it)
you should get an acoustic guitar because when you start the acoustic guitar goes slow for you but the electric guitar uses fast fingers, maybe when you start playing the acoustic guitar first then get on to electric guitar!

If your style is more of the electric guitar go on this website to help you get strated with a guitar:

if you really want to master the art of guitar you should begin with an acoustic but if you just wanna have some fun and start a band with a couple of friends you could get an electric guitar!. my recommendation is the peavey raptor it is a sweet little guitar that costs $100 also you might be able to pick up a sweet deal and ge an amp also on ebay!. if you are looking at acoustic guitars i would go with an ibanez, tacimini, or alvarez all are great guitarsWww@QuestionHome@Com

If you are a beginner,this beginner guitar may be for you!.

Guitarists like Keith Richards, Steve Cropper, Albert Lee, and Danny Gatton favor the look and sound of the Telecaster!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
