Only for a guitar that uses active pickups instead of passive ones. Look up the specs on your guitar and it should tell you which ones it came with. If you can’t tell from the spec page alone, then look up the specific pickups once you know what they’re called. Most electrics have passive pickups, so it’s fairly uncommon that you’d have active ones without knowing.
I think early on, it’s really important to focus on getting comfortable with the instrument itself. When you start learning to play, it’s common to have a lot of stiffness in your wrist and fingers. It’s kinda foreign for your wrist and hands to move like that at first. Practicing frequently and developing your muscle memory will help get your hands to flow on the instrument.
It’s less important when you start, to focus on getting the notes and patterns right. When most people start learning, they sound like shit. It can feel discouraging when you do all this practice and you still don’t sound like your favorite band. I think that’s where a lot of people end up quitting. And it’s why that guy at every party knows how to play Wonderwall and nothing else.
Practice getting a good feel for the instrument. It’s a good indication you’ve become fairly comfortable when you realize you’re not looking at your strumming hand anymore as you play. The more comfortable you get, the easier things like the strumming patterns will get too.
Don’t be afraid to play something a little differently if it’s easier for you to learn. You can use it as a stepping stone to learning the original. Or you can just play your own version.
As far as resources go, I mostly have used YouTube and Ultimate Guitar. I think you’ll find that a lot of guitarists don’t use sheet music much. The most common form of written music for guitar is written in Tab, so familiarize yourself with that if you aren’t already. I have always learned by looking up tabs on a song I wanted to play. You can always look for something else if you are more comfortable with that. But I think it’s always easiest to get started on a song with some community-made tabs.
Keep practicing, don’t give up. You will get better.
Shantae has a great soundtrack. You also can’t go wrong with any of the Gameboy Pokemon titles.
Several Dragon Quest titles are available on Android. I believe DQ 1-3 are unique versions made for mobile. They are also available on Switch. DQ 4-6 were only ever released in NA on the DS and are damn near impossible to find now for a good price. But the mobile ports are based on this version and it’s probably the most accessible way to play those games. At least if you don’t speak Japanese.
