I'm a drummer but my son picked up an acoustic and electric guitar recently and is learning how to play them from an instructor. He is all about learning the different chords etc and after 3 months he cant play anything, just still learning chords. I know those are the basic building blocks, but i tend to play more from ear tones.. his instructor only wants him to play the acoustic one and not to touch the electric yet. Of course, I went over to his house and picked up the electric and basically just made noise but it was totally fun and was thinking of picking one up myself.. is that crazy? should you learn on regular guitar first? is that a necessity? I just want to wail on the electric one!
