“The Extremist” by Joe Satriani is a super fun song to play, and I figured I’d have even more fun trying to adapt the song to the Fender Stratocaster! It was definitely a little challenging with the 21 fret limitation and (intentionally) not using a whammy bar, but I just love how the song sounds when played on a strat!

Erik, what’s a good guitar for beginners? What’s the best starter guitar out there? Well, I’m glad you asked because that’s exactly why I made this video!
Today I’m doing a demo/review of the Ibanez JEM JR. I bought this guitar to see if it would hold up as a good choice for a first beginner guitar, and unsurprisingly it is a great first guitar choice! 24 frets, a floating tremolo bridge and a 5-way pickup selector will go a long way and allow you to play all kinds of different styles of music.
If you want to save $50, the Ibanez RG450DXB is almost identical to the JEM JR, but there are a few tradeoffs that I talk about in the video…

Improvisation, improvising or “improv-ing” is one of the most important things you can do as a guitarist. It’s able to teach you a TON of things, and even though this isn’t anything new or revolutionary, it’s a fundamental way to improve your guitar/musical skill!
