And then there were four

A horrible thing has happened. The two on the left are my son's, I don't know if they fed after midnight or what happened, because suddenly there were two more. Left-to-right: Rogue RD-80 (got it as a kit at Guitar Center, < $150 including a shitty bag, shitty strap, shitty, spare strings, a whistle tuner, you get the idea) Squier by Fender Affinity Telecaster, Competition Orange ($199 at Amazon) Squier by Fender Affinity Telecaster, Butterscotch Blonde, Left Handed ($199 at Amazon) Donner DAG-1CL, Left handed ($128 at Amazon with a nice padded bag, a decent digital tuner, shitty spare strings, decent strap, a generic capo) That's actually our second RD-80, the first one split at the head within 24 hours, luckily we had purchased accidental damage insurance. To avoid my wife kicking us out of the house, we are using VOX AC-30 amplugs (~ $35 each at Amazon) and headphones instead of amplifiers.

The "I just started learning to play guitar this week" list

Since people keep asking for "the one thing I should know since I just started" I decided to put together a list of the most popular advice: Welcome to the group! (I originally wrote this for the Fender Play group on Facebook) Don't put the guitar way. Get a stand (~$15 at Amazon) or a wall hook (two for $11 at Amazon). Why? Because having the guitar out near will make it harder to avoid practice. Yes, this is a thing.  Muscle memory is a thing. It's not just memorizing the chords, you have to keep doing them over and over until the fingers fall in place on their own. This WILL take time, but it WILL happen. Your fingertips are going to hurt, there's no short cut. In 2-3 weeks you will still hurt, but your fingertips will be thicker. Stretching and warming up is important. You will find that your reach will increase after a few weeks of doing these stretches. Personally, I couldn't even do a full C chord, it took me weeks to be able to reach it. If you are ann...

Amplifier sound effects on a budget

The problem You are learning to play guitar with an acoustic, and you want an electric, but you just don't have a clue about which amp to get. And you don't want to make a costly mistake, you don't want to spend $300-$500 on an amp, only to find out that you don't like how it sounds and you may not get 50% back if you try to sell it. The Solution Postpone the purchase decision for the amp until you are a better player. And to keep you busy with your first electric guitar, get a headphone amp. For example, the VOX AC30 Amplug  which usually sells for under $40 USD. This will allow you to practice with your electric guitar with a nice, classic amp without breaking the bank. And for another $5 or so you can get a 3.5mm male/male cable and connect your PC, phone/etc. to its AUX port, so you can feed it music to play while you are playing. For example, you can feed it a backing track, or the audio from a video lesson. And you can take that same 3.5mm cable and plug i...
