Choosing the Best Electric Guitar Starter Pack

I remember when I started playing guitar and how difficult it was to choose the right guitar and amplifier to begin with. There are so many options and my thought was to get the best, most expensive equipment I could afford. Needless to say I ended up buying and selling a number of electric guitars and amplifiers before I realized that I needed to get to grips with my playing before I could decide on the guitar equipment and tonal quality I was after. Now when you are a beginner it is actually better to get a combo that is just a bit above the cheap budget range. I say this because you don’t want a guitar that is so cheap that it doesn’t stay in tune when you play it and an amp that sounds like your granddads old wireless radio. In order to learn you need equipment that sounds reasonable and a guitar that keeps its pitch. Your ear won’t be able to learn the notes if your guitar doesn’t play them correctly and consistently.

Your style will develop over time so you don’t want to spend a fortune on an electric guitar outfit that doesn’t quite fit the tone and style that you want to hear. I only started getting a proper idea of the equipment I wanted to use after a good two years of playing. I’m not saying you shouldn’t experiment with different guitars and amplifiers but you can accomplish this without having to buy an example of each kind. Go and spend a morning at your local music store, try out different guitars and amplifiers. Advertise in your local community paper that you’d like to get together with other amateur guitarists; you’ll soon be exposed to a range of guitars and amplifiers not to mention the other guitarists and styles.

I started out playing an electric guitar in an alternative rock band and ended up playing a semi acoustic classical guitar in a blues jazz band. The moral of the story is to get something basic for a reasonable to cheap price and play, get experience, your style will grow and soon you won’t even need to think about the guitar outfit you want, you will know exactly what you need.
