Sunburst Stratocaster Electric

What are some good beginner electric guitars?

Question:
Hey, i played the violin for a while and i think i want to go to an electric guitar but i don't no what is a good one to get i want it to look cool and i want good quality 2 so can anyone help me out?


Answer: If you are sure you want to play electric guitar I would suggest a begginer package to get you started. You can find decent packages for about $200 - $300 in a music store. If you plan on getting a guitar only, I would suggest getting a versatile one with many tone options to make it easier to play new styles. In that case, I suggest you try the new Squire Deluxe Strat. It has a beautiful finish and great neck. You can find one for about $250. Good luck.

In the journey of understanding what are called intervals, you will come across what are called Perfect 4ths intervals. Used extensively on the guitar and heard in almost any rock guitar album, it is very important to begin understanding perfect 4th's.

Intervals in it's most simplistic explanation are two notes that are played together or separately. Each interval has it's own specific sound and the 4th interval is no exception.

Lets take a closer look at how to play and hear perfect 4th intervals.

4th intervals are heard in all sorts of music. Due to the nature of the sound of 4th's you will find many eastern and Asian sounding songs that utilize 4th intervals within the music. Some great guitar ideas can come about by incorporating the 4th interval within your music.

A great way for your ear to recognize the perfect 4th is to think of the song "Here Comes The Bride" The first two notes of this classic marriage song begins with a 4th played separately.

When played separately 4th's are great for adding melodic sounding rhythm to the songs you are playing.

When played together on a guitar you can get some great two note sounding chords. Although not quite like bar chords, many guitar players use the perfect 4th played together in their music. You will find that the lower end of the guitar will get some great deep sounding 4ths with lots of distortion. On the top two strings of the guitar you can get some great sounding two note perfect 4th that are very reminiscent of Asian styles of music. You can also get some quick funky sounding disco or bluesy type rhythms when played around the 12th fret area of your instrument.

To hear and play a perfect 4th place your left 1st finger on the 6th string 3rd fret, and then your left 2nd finger on the 5th string 3rd fret and play the notes separately or together on your guitar. You can also place your left 1st finger on the 2nd string 12th fret and your left 2nd finger on the 1st string 2nd fret in order to hear a brighter sounding 4th.
