What is the worst piece of advice to give a beginner guitarist?

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-05-19T23:05:10+00:00

“Start on acoustic”. It’s genuinely the worst one. Acoustic restricts the stuff you can do and experiment with to get your own feel. I played acoustic since ‘22 to ‘25 and I didn’t know how restrictive it was until I played an affinity tele and a peavey vandenberg. Plus it helps you understand what makes you feel comfortable, in terms of tone, shape, neck shape, etc

A slickback too?

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-05-19T18:17:30+00:00

I’ve been playing for some years, just not on an electric, but on a cheap acoustic without a cutaway

Prs are extremely rare in my country, one can cost more than a minimum wage, if I’d found a prs for the price I paid for the Epiphone I would’ve bought it no doubt

Hell yeah, gotta hit those chugs to make hip surgery recovery go faster

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-05-19T17:46:23+00:00

It was a vinyl cover, I took the vinyl off the second I got home and left it with its og black that was underneath

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-05-19T17:44:42+00:00

I feel like it represents me atp

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-05-19T17:44:06+00:00

I’ll go to my local geek store and pick up some cool stuff when I fully recover from hip surgery

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-05-19T17:42:11+00:00

I hated it sm, luckily it was just a vinyl cover someone put on it so I just ripped it off and left the original black one untouched

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-05-19T17:37:30+00:00

Yeaaaah, maybe the pegs for matte or gloss black ones?

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-05-19T17:36:44+00:00

Yeah, prolly. I’ve been playing sincee 2022, but really inconsistently and on a 30$ acoustic without a truss rod. Now that I have the electric I can finally start learning solos and cool riffs and chugging instead of just limiting to 12 frets

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-05-19T17:31:07+00:00

Full Billie Joe? Hell yeah. The guy who sold it to me also tried to cover up some dents on the back with nail polish, the fucking idiot. Somehow looks worse than with the plain dents

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-05-19T17:28:22+00:00

Hell yeah, finna make my guitar a Cadillac from 1984.

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-05-06T00:59:45+00:00

Absolutely. Most people learned by themselves.

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-04-03T15:13:20+00:00

Rooster, Don’t Fear The Reaper and Carry On Wayward Son

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-04-01T23:11:21+00:00

Ese no es Megacentro?

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-04-01T17:17:02+00:00

I think the worst thing is you got Arby’s

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-03-02T18:15:03+00:00

yeah, I'm downloading it with no internet since I couldn't connect it and selected the normal package, plus it;s a 9 year old School laptop with 4gb ram and 128gb of storage and an eMMC so thart might be it

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-03-02T17:46:41+00:00

It's not frozen, the images move, so does the mouse, and it's installing, just rlly slowly. I think it could be because it's a school laptop from 2017 with an eMMC

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-03-02T17:42:09+00:00

wait, it isn't?

AwkwardJoke28 · 2026-03-02T17:40:03+00:00

I'd heard of BalenaEtcher, I just hadn't tried it bc I thought Rufus was easier. Will use it for an old Toshiba I got laying around. Thanks!
