I need help deciding!

orangecat

My audio setup is nothign special infact i most likely wont hear much of a differance at all if i upgraded my audio because my speakers and headphoens are nothing special but i would like to know I could remove some hissing/interfearence from my audio and give me room to upgrade my headphones later on and i wont have to worry about them being underpowered or running off a crappy audio chipset. When it comes to the keyboard i really dont mind membrane but i tried a sample kit from WASD keys and I loved he feel of the reds. also typos lol im being lazy right now.

I'd probably say to go for the guitar. It seems like you might get the most out of getting one.

That is what i was thinking but i still do game and my GTX 460 just isnt capable anymore. I really want to learn to play guitar as a hobby but I want an electric guitar so unless I have an amp its going to sound like crap.

Id wait and save for a guitar. If you don't get something what looks great, plays well and sounds good you will not want to pick the guitar up and will probably give up. Its a better investment to spend a little more and get something which you love and will want to play all the time

A guitar will offer you a lifetime of reward. 

 

Please, for the love of Yeezus, learn the fundamentals though. Don't be one of these pick up and play, power chord strummers that strive to be unoriginal. My dad kind of forced guitar on me when I was very young, 6, and I started by learning to read music playing mainly classical and adhering to proper finger picking techniques etc... 

 

Now I'm a pro, write all of my own music, and you'd never expect it. Buy a guitar.

GPU for sure, ODAC isn't necessary 

if you do want a guitar and are actually committed to it, sure

I was thinking of waiting for maxwell but there is no leak or anything when even a hint at a release date.

It's already in notebooks. So it's just around the corner. I know one can say that about pretty much anything, but honestly I wouldn't buy a card right now. Especially a 760.

 

Trust me. Guitar.

Learning something new is never a bad thing.

bad decision, you'll develop bad habits that are damn hard to break. learn the right way and you'll start making music sooner. :)

True but I don't have money for lessons and its hard to find real good lessons online because everyone else has a different way of playing and i'm not an expert so i dont know what is right and what is wrong.

When I started, Youtube wasn't a thing and I didn't have money for lessons. I ended up teaching myself and found out later down the road that I got most everything right but picked up some bad technique that was hard to break. the tutorials on YouTube have made it sooooooooooooooooo much easier for aspiring musicians to pick up the instrument and learn a lot faster than by just themselves. plus YouTube is free and has millions of lessons.

Stick to the popular ones, and most likely you won't go wrong. 

What kind of music do you like?
