If you love rock music, and have always wanted to be able to play some
of your favourite songs on the guitar, but maybe youve thought it was
too difficult to get started, then here are 5 steps to help get you
going.
Step 1 - Choose Your Guitar & Amp
Of course, you can learn to play the guitar using any type of guitar,
acoustic (classical/folk) or electric.
However, if you particularly want to start playing rock guitar, then
an electric guitar is probably the best choice. The main reason for
this is that guitarists in most rock bands use electric guitars, so
from the start its going to sound more like the music you want to
play (after all, youre not looking to play Greensleeves, but more
Green Day).
Another reason, which some people may debate, but I think that its
just easier on the fingers to start learning on an electric guitar,
and thats less likely to put you off when youre just beginning.
As for the amplifier or amp, to start off, you dont need a huge
stack, or a particularly powerful amp. A small practice amp (e.g.
10-20 Watts) can be sufficient to begin with. Most of these will have
at least 2 different modes - clean and distortion (or this second
one may be called drive). The distortion mode is really the one you
want to use, as this is used to some degree by many rock bands, and is
the definitive rock guitar sound. Even if at this point you dont
know how to play anything, just plug the guitar in, select the
distortion channel, and strum the open strings - chances are it sounds
rock like already!...

Is that going to be more expensive than just getting a Guitar and amp?

Even a &guitar; ?

Im afraid not. I followed these instructions exactly, but it sounds
like the third movement of Mahlers 7th as interpreted by the Nolan
Sisters. I want my money back.

To play rock guitar it must be made from XML? ;-)

I think the word Fucktard was created for occasions just such as
this.
