I was looking for a new hobby at 48 years old. So I asked Santa for a Christmas present, a (Fender CD 60CE: Acoustic). I must have been good because it was under the tree Christmas morning. It came with a built in tuner and case. Well NOW I have the fever! So I signed up WITH GUITAR-TRICKS and started learning. I noticed that a lot of the beginner lessons were on the electric guitar. Not having a lot of money to spend, I bought a Squier Strat package with a fender amp (Merry X-Mas again). Santa (the wife) was not happy but the fever was bad! I don't have an expensive electric guitar to compare it to, but I really like the electric guitar and it seems much easier to play than the acoustic. I wish that I would have started a long time ago. Any advice would be appreciated.
