Is a Squier a good beginner electric guitar?

Question:
I'm trying to move on from acousitc to electric and my parents said I can have an electric for my birthday, but I have to research it for a decent price.
I've found a shop nearby my house that sells a really nice looking blue Squier Affinity Strat. Is this a good starter electric for me? Or should I got for something cheaper or more expensive?


Answer: no a squire is good. its cheap and you can most likely find a nice package that will give a an amp and picks and a carryin case, everythin you need. start with a squire. eventually if you enjoy the electric guitar and are good then sell it and use the money to get another guitar. plus a squire is from Fender which is legit.

How to play guitar, for beginners, can be hard. I know from experience. I have always dreamed of being a guitar ace, an axeman. When I was a teenager I always wanted to be up on stage with hundreds, if not thousands of fans screaming, applauding and going wild as I played guitar and made it sing with my amazing talent. I've always found teenagers have amazing imaginations!

Of course, my over active imagination, a dream, is exactly all it ever was but despite that, if you are also wanting to learn to play the guitar or have already started, chances are you probably had the same dreams. I hope so! As you are reading this article I can only assume that you are therefore looking for good quality information because you want to make that dream a reality and you currently lack the skill and knowledge about how to play guitar for beginners. Even if your dream is only to impress your family and friends, or in deed just yourself, with your playing, it is my hope that your dreams do come true.

Priority number one is being able to sift through the mass of information that is out there. Why? Firstly, a lot of it is just plain rubbish. Secondly, some if it, even though good, may not just suit you. You need to know how best you learn. Which medium allows you to absorb knowledge the best and quickest? Some courses or programs will never be able to deliver the required results. So, before you do anything else you need to find the right guitar course for you, the one that will help remove the frustration you are likely to experience and will teach you how to play the guitar that you, your family and friends or even that wild cheering crowd will love to hear.

As I just mentioned, feeling frustration is, at some point whilst learning how to play guitar for beginners, almost inevitable. Finding that right course will help reduce the frustration and turn what is all too often a long difficult process into something that is fun and enjoyable.

It can be a great shame that the huge time and effort that a lot of beginners put into learning how to play the guitar is not reflected in their standard of playing. This is what leads to the frustration. And it's a shame because a lot of it could be avoided by simply doing the right research at the beginning and finding the right course.

Unfortunately, because we all learn best through different methods, there isn't one definitive how to play guitar for beginners course. It would be so much easier if there were.

Rik used to play the guitar many many years ago (in his mis-spent youth!). He would spend hours upon hours locked away in his room with the amp cranked up annoying many people.

Well of course life chances and he moved away from home, started doing other things. However he recently rediscovered his passion for the guitar, and is now a re-born guitar enthusiast! Not only that but he thought it would be nice to try to help others who want to start learning and hopefully also become passionate about playing the greatest instrument there is, the guitar! Back in the old days there was of course no such thing as the internet.

Rik has also recently created a website called How To Play Guitar For Beginners Please feel free to visit the site, he'd love to hear from all you guitar fanatics out there!
