There are beginner guitars that are good for learning; and guitars that are good for the amateur and professional electric guitar player.
To play the electric guitar you need a Electric Guitar, an Amplifier (10 to 20 Watts), a guitar to Amp Connection Cable, and Guitar Picks.
You can get other electric guitar accessories for it like an Electronic Tuner, spare Guitar Strings, a Gig Bag and a Guitar Strap.
Some guitar package kits come with all these accessories and may even have an Instructional DVD that comes with it; that are more affordable than buying all of the electric guitar products separately.
