Electric Guitars
| If you take lessons,finger excercises isnt a valid lesson. He should be teaching new cords as well as memorization and scales as well as fingering techniques.
Also,start off with a smaller amp.
Another thing, do not pull your guitar cord from the cord. But pull ot from the plug.Fingers go between the frets, not on the bars.A tip for getting to know yor way around the fret board First dot from the top is your 3rd fret. Second is 5th, 3rd is 7th.
The fret with two dots is your 12th
| Also good luck, it can be frustrating at first. But it feels both rewarding and relaxing to jam out to your favorite songs or even right your own.
And sometimes; you just wanna play.

Thank you, I'll keep those in mind. Also, do guitar brands and types matter or is it all entirely a personal preference?
| While we're at it, any tips for someone who used to play acoustic guitar? Also, is it possible to get some decent-ish beginner's guitar (maybe used) in the range of $200? Is it a good idea to buy used guitars anyway?

I used to play acoustic but want to get an electric one now in case it wasn't clear (because after rereading it seems like it might be)
| >>269301 I think you can find some pretty good guitars that are new and under $200 given that you're not left handed. You can buy used guitars but the quality that they're in varies.

I'd say yes, but it depends on what you want to play. Fender stratocasters are pretty much the jack of all trades in guitar, good for any genre. Easy to switch strings, too.
| Oh, don't buy Gibsons.
